“Healing With The Seasons” Medicinal Movement, Meditation and Breathing Practices  (aka ‘Qi Gong’)

Part 1: Springtime – Navigating the Winds of Change

Starts February 24, 2020

            Cynthia Zanti Jabs, L.Ac., has taught and written about “Healing with the Seasons” for two decades. In 2020, she will offer a series of five mini-courses to introduce seasonally oriented Qi Gong practices at Ruscombe.

For practitioners, these breathing and movement practices are useful tools for both self-care and to teach clients in support of their treatments – and a fun way to earn CEU’s! For beginners, they provide safe and beneficial ways to explore and cultivate the movement of qi in and around them. All will leave each class with several usable practices related to the upcoming season. Those who complete the entire series of five mini-courses will take away a collection of practices to benefit all of the major organ systems.

The first three-class course will include basic qi building tools, simple clearing practices (for toxins, allergens and ’wind’) and movements to increase flexibility for healthy Springtime growth and movement. All of these help us shift gears from our weary Winter selves to our pro-active Spring selves.

Times/Days: Each “Healing With the Seasons Qi Gong” course will meet for three 90-minute classes (4.5 hours total) on consecutive Monday evenings or Wednesday mornings.

Location: Ruscombe Mansion Community Health Center, in the Hill House studio, accessible from the parking lot

Cost: $120 for each three-class course

– or –

$500 for the entire 5-course series of fifteen classes (22.5 hours total)
