DESCRIPTION:At the heart of the ancient Chinese healing art of qigong\, whi
 ch means skilfully cultivating life energy\, is the idea that nature is ba
 lanced and harmonious. When we orientate towards this balance through regu
 lar qigong practice\, we have the potential to restore our health and be m
 ore fully alive. Nourishment is also what all living creatures – plants 
 and animals alike – seek to ensure their steady growth and health. In th
 is session\, Mimi will share how qigong’s gentle movements and breathing
  practices can connect us to the source of nourishment we human beings see
 k in order to: replenish our vitality when it seems depleted or scarce\; m
 anage our energy level\; and support the health of our body\, mind and spi
 rit. This talk will be followed by a qigong movement practice open to all 
 levels\, experiences and abilities. Participtants will also be offerd time
  for Q&A. \n\nMimi Kuo-Deemer\, MA\, is the author of Qigong and the Tai C
 hi Axis: Nourishing Practices for Body\, Mind and Spirit and Xiu Yang: The
  Ancient Chinese Art of Self-Cultivation. She teaches qigong\, internal ma
 rtial arts (6th generation lineage holder in Baguazhang) and meditation\, 
 and once traveled the world as a photojournalist for organizations such as
  The New York Times\, UNDP and UNESCO. Since graduating with Stanford’s 
 class of ’94\, she has lived and worked in China and the United States b
 efore settling in the British countryside with her husband and their dog\,
  three cats\, 6 chickens and 60\,000 bees. She champions the balance of pl
 ayfulness and precision as the best way forward in life\, and never undere
 stimates how sitting\, breathing\, and conscious movement grant the cleare
 st and most compassionate perspective on the joyful yet mysterious\, messy
 \, and unpredictable job of being human.\n\nMovement as Medicine: Elementa
 l Qigong for Nourishing Body\, Mind and Spirit is part of the free Contemp
 lation by Design Summit\, Oct. 9 - 16 and Oct. 28 - Nov. 2\, 2022.\n\nThe
