Next the complete 28-movement Wudang Tai Chi form will be taught. Wudang Tai Chi has much to offer beginners and experienced Tai Chi practitioners of all styles.

QIGONG FOR HEALTHY LIVING
April 23, Sunday, 10.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m. (lunch time 12.30-2.30 p.m.)

Founded on Daoist spiritual philosophies, Qigong (气功) is a traditional Chinese practice for nourishing health. It works the body and mind in a way that is suitable for everyone. This type of exercise works naturally with the body to strengthen it and improve the functions of the heart and mind. Of the two words that compose Qigong, “Qi” (气) is the natural energy that gives us life and “Gong” (功) is the practice of developing a skill through dedication and proper technique. Practicing qigong helps us unify, adjust, and integrate the mind with the body to promote health and prevent disease throughout a lifetime. This Qigong includes both a standing routine as well as a sitting routine which is suitable to practice in the office. Developed by Master Zhou Xuan Yun, these routines draw upon traditional Daoist Qigong practices to create a comprehensive program that addresses several health issues common to modern living. With consistent practice, these routines help to make the body stronger, more flexible, and boosts the immune system.

LECTURE: WUDANG – DAOISM – TAIJI
April 24, Monday, 6.00 p.m.

In this lecture Zhou Xuan Yun, a Taoist priest from China’s Wudang Mountain, will present an introduction to Taoist history and philosophy. He will begin with the origins of Taoism and how the first Taoist communities and temples began. He will tell the stories of the ancient Taoist masters and discuss the different lineages of Taoism, and how their practices differ. He will also talk about his experiences growing up in a Taoist temple, and the role of Taoism in modern society. Last there will be a question and answer session.
