Using movement and meditation Thalbert Allen will guide your awareness to the Water Element. Water is represented by the season of winter, a time of stillness where the body can store energy and rest in preparation for Spring. The Water element contains the potential for change and when in harmony can bring about a deep vitality. In this workshop, attending to the bladder and kidney organs, we’ll affect the Yin and Yang forces in the body through the movements and postures of the Bear.

Elemental Chi Kung Is a progressive approach to chi kung that incorporates classic styles and philosophies with modern bodymind and energy concepts. The approach explores body and chi awareness as a way to deepen into our internal chi flow through movement, stillness, meditation, and breath. A creative space is sought to allow our essential nature to express itself and bring about transformation to an innermost reality.

Chi Kung movements are simple. Each action aims to move Chi in a specific way. The movements often take their inspiration from the movement of animals and nature and can look quite beautiful. Sometimes the movements follow energy channels in the body and sometimes they orient around internal organs or parts of the body. The aim in all the movements is to increase the flow of Chi through the mind and body.
