During the course of the lessons, you will explore in your body the architecture of standing and some of the fundamental forces that inform our stance in life.
The content of the lessons focus on rooting, structural alignment, the seasons and change.
FOR WHO? This classes are meant for everyone who is looking for an effective combination between body & energy awareness practices, who wishes to nurture grounding, clarity, broaden perspectives and cultivate health.
We engage in easy-to-follow practices, such as:
- still chi kung (zhan zhuang)
- ba duan jin
- meditative movement
And as it continued it really afforded me such deep internal experience, of different aspects of my body, my energy body, my boundaries, my connection to that beyond my skin.
Gosh, it was so good, I really loved it!! And I have to say that it is such a powerful Nature Resonance practice, really deeply dropping into that place of BEingness.
I have been reaching for words to describe that state, BEingness is the best I’ve come up with so far.
But I think you know what I mean, in that primary state, which is baseline wellness for us, and which is our truest nature, the animal of our bodies, but more than that again, the energetics, the synergy with all around. That state we can touch into when we spend time in living spaces, in wilderness .
Suffice to say that this practice is such a direct gateway to that. Wow, I’m so impressed!
Thank you so much for the chance to practice with you, I’m really grateful!”

"First of all I want to thank you for all the past Chi Kung sessions. It's been quite an experience for me, a very positive one, one of coming home. I was surprised how minimal the movements were and how deep their effect. I also thought it is a pity I didn't discover it earlier, after chemo therapy ten years ago. During recovery, which was an ongoing issue for so many years, most physical practices somehow asked more from me than they would give me in return. So I'd never stick with a practice for a long time. Besides that, it was new to me that a physical practice for adults would be accompanied with such nourishing stories and images. I think the last time I've experienced nourishment that was both grounded in the body and in spirit was in childhood. So even after the sessions with you, during the week, poetic sensorial awareness was continuously more awakened, and my "entire system" much more open for inspiration."
