About the Center for Movement and Healing
We are a school and a community.
Welcome to the Center for Movement and Healing. Our mission is to learn and practice movement and healing forms that increase health, strength and balance in body, mind and heart. Our methods come from timeless wisdom schools like qigong, Daoism, yoga, and Chinese medicine. We practice in classes, in the parks, at the river and the ocean with flowing qigong movements and walking. Our goal is to grow personally and together as a group, and share the light and healing with our families, friends and community.
In classes we learn practical and intuitive life skills. We study classical meridian and five element theory and apply it to everyday life. The result is more vitality and centeredness. This reduces the effects of stress, improves relationships, and brings more joy and well-being. In addition to seasonal classes, we meet weekly to practice. Practices are free of charge.
From a Monday Night Women’s Group:
“Thank you for such a wonderful class! I feel calm & energized at the same time!”
