About the event
Join Mark Romano, naturopathic physician and 20-year veteran Qi Gong instructor, for an afternoon of embodied renewal beneath the trees, where body, breath, and earth weave back into wholeness. This two-hour gathering blends the flowing movement of Qigong, the life-giving rhythm of conscious breathwork, the restorative presence of forest bathing, and the collective wisdom of sacred circle.
As Francis Weller reminds us:
“Grief leads us back to the body through its wild, turning heavy, twisting presence and through the body. We are brought back again into the greater conversations with the living world.”
Through breath and movement, we soften into presence. Through stillness among the trees, we listen. Through circle, we share our voices and griefs, remembering together our place in the greater body of life.
What to Expect
Qigong for Rooting (20 min): Gentle standing movements to harmonize breath, body, and heart.
