Tao of Inner Tai Chi
Retreat begins 5 pm Friday April 27 - 5 pm Sunday, April 29

This Retreat will Include:

Tao Energy Basics
• Inner Smile Meditation transforms the emotions through loving acceptance.
• Microcosmic Orbit circulates yin and yang flows through major energy pathways,
generating and refining the vital energy current.
• Chi Self Massage stimulates chi and blood circulation to rejuvenate the body.
• Six Healing Sounds release stress, toxins and imbalanced chi out of the organs.
• Qigong (Chi Kung) directs chi through powerful breathing and flowing gestures.

Tai Chi Qigong
The 13 movement form creates orientation in the four directions and balances Yin and Yang flows. This gem of Tai Chi applies the inner structure and flow of Chi Kung into spatial movement. Experience being centered and moving with natural grace and ease. The gestures can be applied to any form.

Tendon Nei Kung
Tendon Nei Kung supports our Tai Chi practice by transfering the earth energy up through the body in a rippling wave. The tendons grow strong and supple while joints open up. Gives the body movement a youthful spring, ideal for cultivating the wood element in the spring! Prevents arthritis and promotes longevity.

"Minke de Vos is one of my favorite teachers in the Taoist Arts. The work she teaches is easy to grasp and, at the same time, one would never reach the limit of its potential. An unappreciated aspect of all healing is whether one has the vitality or simply the energy to heal. At that level, the Taoist work addresses that foundational aspect to connecting with life's source of energy and power." John Tjenos, Therapist

"People do not need experience with meditation or yoga. The Inner Smile will take them gently inside and the Chi Kung will move and loosen their bodyminds and open them to a new energy. I believe that when we cultivate our primal creative energy together we have the potential to create deeper connections with ourselves, our loved ones and our community."
