Passed directly from the Daoist Hidden Immortal Lineage, the eight movements of the Taiji Mother Form embody the philosophy of YinYang 陰陽, WuXing 五行, and BaGua 八卦of the Yijing易經 (I Ching). The slow, deliberate movements are precisely choreographed to create a relaxed mind-body dance that strengthens, stretches, and awakens the three bodies – Jing 精, Qi 氣, and Shen 神.
The vernal equinox is one of the most powerful times for inner transformation and healing. Please join me on Zoom for the spring equinox Daoist Internal Alchemy ceremony. In this event, I will be sharing a Daoist Spring Equinox practice associated with DaZhuang 大壯, hexagram 34. DaZhuang is one of the twelve tidal hexagrams, which represents the energetic pattern of blossoming as well as the monthly animal sign Rabbit. It is the symbol for great expansion of new life energy and great prosperity.

After over 1,000 people took the online Course and it maintained a 5-star rating, offering this all-day Qigong intensive was requested and attended by many around the world.

Developed by Francesco Garri Garripoli after decades of personal Qigong training and study, this unique program offers you insights into the three key areas of our lives that create blocks and prevent us from living in peace and in our true power. Combining his teaching in “Emotion Alchemy”, “Three Minds”, and “The Third Field”, this three-day workshop provides real-world tools that you can use in real time. In this way, you will have techniques that weave together Qigong movements, energy points, and visualization which you can put to use immediately to activate the Qi Effect and begin to see how you can shift from your conditioned responses into being guided by Heart resonance for real and lasting transformation taking you from just surviving to truly thriving. This workshop sold out in Florida and Trinidad recently with great reviews!
