About the Workshop:
Wild Goose Qigong (Dayan) is a Taoist/Buddhist alchemical movement and life force practice that guides people to experience the inheritance of their self-healing. Wild Goose is both calming and energizing. Through practicing with moving, attending, and breathing, we harmonize the body-being with the dynamic patterns of the environment and cosmos.
Qigong is for everyone; movements can be modified for all body types, the weather and atmosphere of the moment, and people’s lives.
Through qigong exercises, sections from wild goose sets, and qigong meditation, we will focus on support for the pivot of the summer — the solstice. In summer, we can give special attention to nurture our heart-mind, or shen, and explore movement expressions that emerge uniquely from cultivating our heart vibration, supporting our fire meridians, and togetherness. This is how we root in spirit and the evolving collective field.
** Margit is especially excited to share the practice live, this area where shx co-directed at Earthdance 2006-2009, with beloved friend mara!, and support this growing qigong community spot. **
About Margit:
Margit Galanter is a dance poet and cultural instigator who shares through the vivid grove — a live art school for moving, learning, collective liberatory practices, and creative evolution. Through long-term research-creation, collective intercultural gatherings, 1:1 sessions, and practice itself, shx shares a vision of vibrancy for the individual and collective body. margit is currently living on Montauk lands.
Margit’s syncretic movement approach is based on decades of practice in movement/art lineages. A life of study in Taoist Healing Arts/Wild Goose Qigong, Suprapto Suryodarmo’s Amerta Movement, Lisa Nelson’s Tuning Scores, embodied practices, and creative inquiry constitute the trees in the grove; they provide both rooted access to fertile sources and nourish the flowering canopy of art creation. www.vividgrove.org
