SUMMARY:Tai Yi Swimming Dragon Taichi Retreat\, ZMC 7/21–7/26 – Waitlist Only
DESCRIPTION:Harmonize\, balance\, improve health\, and cultivate a sense of well-being through Taichi and Qigong. During this retreat we will learn Form One of Tai Yi Swimming Dragon Quan\, a gentle\, flowing form of movement that combines Taichi\, Qigong\, and yogic stretching. This rare and beautiful Taichi style\, once a secret family heirloom of Taoist Grandmaster Yu Anren\, circulates and cultivates Qi\, and enhances balance\, flexibility\, and coordination. Swimming Dragon Taichi combined with Qigong and meditation offers a lyrical and restorative experience for the body and mind and is enjoyable for people of all ages. No previous experience necessary. \nVideo of Taiyi Swimming Dragon Tai Chi / Qi Gong exercise:

SUMMARY:Communication\, Connection\, Heartbreak and Forgiveness-Sangha Week\, ZMC 7/21–7/26 – Waitlist Only
DESCRIPTION:Sitting with the Buddha\, Ven. Ananda once said\, “This is half of the holy life\, lord: admirable friendship\, admirable companionship\, admirable camaraderie.” The Buddha responded\, “Don’t say that\, Ananda! Don’t say that! Admirable friendship\, admirable companionship\, admirable camaraderie is actually the whole of the holy life.” \nPrecisely because of the depth of trust we hold in Sangha\, the human tendency to fall short\, betray\, or take each other for granted can result in deep levels of disconnection and despair. And precisely because Sangha is a practice of refuge\, we can use heartbreak and forgiveness as gates to a broader sense of interconnection and intimacy. \nIn this retreat\, we will study together how to build unbreakable Sangha friendship. We will explore methods that nourish both our inner lives and the wider communities we are part of\, including: \n\nTraditional zazen\, teachings\, and discussion\nDevotional work practice\nSomatic practices such as Qi Gong and/or Iyengar Yoga\, accessible to a wide range of abilities\nNourishment of the body\, senses\, intention\, and consciousness
