Tai Chi & Qi Gong
Nature as teacher. Energy as healer.
Experience the magic of a hemlock forest with an outdoor movement-based meditation experience.
In my outdoor experiences, we go on a short walk under a tall canopy of Eastern Hemlock trees, pause to breathe in the richness of the living world with simple to follow standing Tai Chi warm ups & movements from a variety of Tai Chi forms or Qigong practices led by Mary Hannah. By connecting body and breath, these standing movement practices calm and reset the nervous system, help cultivate peace in the present moment and awaken and enliven our "chi" or life force energy.

Art & Conservation
The beauty of Eastern Hemlock forests inspires me to create art. I attempt to capture the feeling of being in the evergreen forest and the unique quality of light that dances on the delicate needles and filters on to the forest floor. I also handcraft earrings and ornaments with the tiny cones.
5% of profits from my art supports to local conservation efforts by Williamstown Rural Lands.
