SUMMARY:Qigong and Tai Chi Basics: Finding Balance and Well-Being at the Confluence of Body\, Breath and Mind
DESCRIPTION:Practice movements designed to maintain health and balance throughout life \nQigong consists of various Chinese therapeutic exercises designed to align body\, breath\, and mind in a manner that brings about optimal health as well as physical and emotional balance. \nTai Chi is a Chinese martial art usually done in a slow\, dance-like manner designed to train our ability to maintain balance and composure when challenged. Research suggests that regular Tai Chi practice can improve strength and balance\, reinforce respiratory\, cardiovascular and immune systems\, sharpen the mind\, and reduce stress. \nIn the retreat you will learn a Qigong set and some fundamental Tai Chi movements. Handouts and access to a video will be made available to participants. There will also be a brief overview of how Chinese medicine and philosophy inform Qigong and Tai Chi\, as well as a short introduction to standing\, seated\, and lying meditation. In addition\, several Chinese teas will be made available to sample over the weekend. \nFee: $255\, includes Friday and Saturday lodging\, Saturday breakfast\, lunch and dinner\, and Sunday breakfast and lunch.Commuter Fee: $195\, includes Saturday lunch and dinner\, and Sunday lunch. \nRegister Now: \nhttps://pw.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=26PGR33710

SUMMARY:Circle of Trust: Spring Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:Participate in a day-long retreat\, based on Parker Palmer’s idea of a “hidden wholeness” within us\, where we will explore our authentic selves in community with others \nSaturday\, May 2\, 9:30 a.m.–4 p.m. U.S. Central Time \nCircle of Trust© retreats offer participants an immersive experience of the Courage & Renewal© approach. Sponsored by the Center for Courage & Renewal (CCR) founded by Parker Palmer\, it is based on Palmer’s idea of a “hidden wholeness” within us. \nIn this time together at Prairiewoods\, we will co-create trustworthy space to do our own inner work in community with others. Discovering who we authentically are and aligning our inner and outer lives—or “soul and role”—is an ongoing\, life-long process that happens through discovering\, listening to\, and following our “inner source of truth\,” named in various wisdom traditions as identity\, true self\, heart\, spirit\, or soul. This source of guidance and strength helps us find our way through life’s complexities and challenges. Poems\, stories\, songs\, artworks\, somatic activities—all drawn from diverse cultures and wisdom traditions—will offer opportunities to contemplate\, reflect upon\, and share insights regarding authentic relationships with society\, nature\, and spirit in order to inspire the soul to speak in a community of support and trust. As we listen to the wisdom of each person’s inner teacher\, honor each person’s identity and integrity\, and renew a courageous spirit\, we journey toward personal and societal wholeness. \nEach Circle of Trust gathering will have a seasonal theme and will invite participants to engage in full-group\, small-group\, and individual reflection\, discussion\, and activity\, including opportunities to connect with the beautiful natural grounds at Prairiewoods. These Circles of Trust are open to all\, regardless of background or belief. The goal is to deepen understanding of one’s deepest self—one’s soul—especially in relationship to community\, society\, Earth\, and the spiritual realm as each circle member defines it. Participants are welcome to come to one\, some\, or all of our circle gatherings. \nThe cost is $50 per session. \nRegister Now: \nhttps://pw.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=26PWS34196
