Free group practices
Joining a group practice is an excellent way to learn Wuji Gong, the fundamental form of Emei Qigong, and to keep your practice on track. Some students practice only once a week, at group practice. Others use the group practice as a way of keeping themselves motivated, as part of a more frequent practice. In any event, group practices are a wonderful opportunity to feel and build the group energy field.
The
practice schedule below, for the Marin and Sonoma county groups that my students and I
lead, will be updated on this page around the start of
each month. Please contact me if you’d like to receive a monthly email with the schedule.
Marin County: Sunday mornings, 9:30-10:30 a.m. Currently meeting in Oleander Park in Terra Linda (northern San Rafael). Take Freitas Parkway off of 101, head west, turn right at Las Gallinas (a light), turn right on Oleander, and the park will be half-way down the block on your right. Regularly led by me and my husband, Bill Ferlatte. Meeting every Sunday in August; planning to meet every Sunday in September except September 11.
Sonoma County, Santa Rosa: Regularly led by Maia Marin; please call Maia at 707-483-8271 for current details!
Other Bay Area practices: Please contact me for information on other Bay Area group practices.
Cost: Outdoor group practices are free. For practices that meet indoors, there may be a small charge to cover the cost of renting space or because a city requires a class fee.
One of the endless stairways on Emei Mountain; one guidebook says there are 90,000 stairs on the way to the summit.
Don’t
think you can attain total awareness and whole enlightenment without
proper discipline and practice….Here is the great secret: Just as high
awareness of the subtle truth is gained through virtuous conduct and
sustaining disciplines, so also it is maintained through these things.’
- Lao Tzu
