2012: A Year of Primordial Qigong--A Celebration
 
Welcome a limitless flow of joy and harmony into your life!
 
 
 
 
Out of the mists of time, from ancient China, comes one of the most comprehensive systems of Qigong ever taught.
        
Primordial Qigong is a profound system of health and wellness developed by Chang San Feng (the creator of Tai Chi Chuan) during the 13th Century.  Primordial Qigong encompasses all of the primary aspects of Taoist philosophy: the concepts of Yin and Yang, the Taoist trinity (heaven, earth and man), the Five Element theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the I Ching, the Bagua and the mystical aspect of numbers.
 
Master Zhu Hui transmitted this system to our teacher, Sifu Donald Rubbo, and told him that practicing Primordial Qigong will "turn back the hands of time.”  During one of the teachings, Sifu Rubbo asked Master Zhu, "What are the benefits one might receive from practicing the Primordial Qigong?" Master Zhu replied, "In my personal experience, I have developed the capability to see what ails you. But not only that, I have cultivated the wisdom and ability to heal you." (from the Primordial Qigong ebook)
 
Practicing the Primordial Qigong system will harmonize and strengthen the flows in your body, calm the nervous system, release stress, regulate all internal systems and bring you to optimum health, wellness and vitality.  In addition, Primordial Qigong stills the mind, opens the heart, centers you in your own being, develops the intuition and brings about the joyful unfolding of your authentic nature.
 

If you've been wanting to learn the Primordial Qigong form, or would like to deepen and refine your practice, now is the perfect time! 

Join us for classes, workshops, a summer retreat and new offerings in our Medical Qigong for Healers series as we celebrate with great gratitude this gem from the treasure house of Taoist qigong.

Join us for an afternoon exploring the quietude and flow of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong winter practices.  This is the first of three workshops to be offered this year that will delve deeply into the above precious teaching given us by our teacher.

"Elizabeth and Josefina are wonderful teachers. They are masterful in  
Qigong and Tai Chi and share their knowledge and experience with  
patience and good will so that anyone can learn from them.  All of  
their students (myself included) feel we are being met exactly where  
we are.

These classes are illuminating, grounding and profound without being  
heavy or too serious.  They bring a smile to my face and a deep  
gratitude for being alive, as well as better health and more awareness."
