    Tai Chi-Qigong is a healing exercise for our body, opening blocked energy channels through proper posture, breath work, and advanced concentration within graceful movement. Through this practice the condition of cells, muscles, bones, and joints are strengthened and revitalized, improving the function of internal organs and intestines.

    Tai Chi (TaeGeuk) is the principle of the cosmic energy cycle. When cosmic energy is created and eventually reaches its peak, instead of disappearing, the energy converts into a different type of energy, thereby continuing its lifecycle.

    Qigong is the understanding and application of the Tai Chi principle into our lives. We can embrace the cosmic energy cycle and transform ourselves, leading a less self-centered and more altruistic, devoted life.

    During this hands-on Kintsugi-inspired workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn, create, and share. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, highlighting the cracks instead of hiding them–embracing imperfections as part of the object’s history. This philosophy can also serve as a powerful metaphor for personal growth and healing.

    Students will learn about this historic art form and how it can apply to each person. They will be guided through a modern approach, wherein they break, paint, and rebuild their own bowl, showing and creating a connection to their journey. Participants will paint their bowls and then highlight the cracks with gold glue making it unique to them. Attendees will also have the opportunity to share collectively or in small groups, conversing about how we have all been challenged in various ways, and how there is strength in the growth of the rebuild. As an art therapist, Tara offers opportunities for connection through art, relating it to self and the healing process of putting our own pieces back together.

    We live in a fast-paced and stressful society which is perpetuated and reinforced by social media’s frenetic presence in our lives. Our nervous systems attempt to match this constant state of readiness and alertness but as a result, we often feel depleted and lacking emotional and energetic reserves. We are not designed to remain in this high activation state as often as the world encourages it.

    Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), also known as tapping, offer an easily available method of self-care and self-soothing based on Eastern methods of energy healing. Tapping involves gentle self-administered finger tapping of meridian points along our bodies. It is a non-invasive method of calming the nervous system. Some liken it to “emotional acupuncture” (without the needles).

    Aviva will lead an interactive and informative workshop showing participants how to self-administer tapping, teaching about the meridian points, offering some background and history of EFT, and she will provide resource handouts for participants to take home. 

    In three classes, which can be taken together or independently, Aviva will discuss mind-body approaches designed to enhance your physical, emotional, and mental well-being by working with both your thoughts and your body’s energy systems:

    Breathwork is an active meditation technique with a two-part inhale and single exhale done consistently for 30 minutes, followed by relaxation and a return to normal breathing.  The technique brings us into a deeper state of consciousness and clears "stuck energy" quite rapidly and safely. Results often include more mental clarity and less anxiety; an easier time connecting with family and friends; the experience of more joy, peace, and spiritual connection; and a boost of intuition and creativity.

    Carefully crafted words can help people resolve distressing memories, limiting beliefs, and emotional blocks in an energy psychology approach known as Logosynthesis. As with most energy methods, the source of calm and equilibrium comes from within, and the practitioner helps the individual discover it.

    This method is based on the idea that many of our problems—such as anxiety, fear, or limiting beliefs—are caused by “frozen” energy in our personal space and aims to dissolve these energy blocks, allowing emotional energy to return to an uninterrupted flow. Logosynthesis is suitable for adults open to exploring the connections between mind, body, and spirit, and it fits well alongside other energy psychology methods like self-tapping and mindfulness practices.

    In three classes, which can be taken together or independently, Aviva will discuss mind-body approaches designed to enhance your physical, emotional, and mental well-being by working with both your thoughts and your body’s energy systems:
