Hi Michael, Here are more details about the Yijing/Taiji. Yes, I will teach them together as a combination in one week. Chinese Shamanic Taiji Qigong is a practice for cultivating inner knowledge and a method for moving into Tian Ren He Yi (the union of the human being and the universe). It is an ancient way of physical, mental, and spiritual cultivation. The body is a Qi (vital energy) network. One will maintain wellness if the Qi is freeflowing in this network. This ancient art and science for strengthening inner power and healing originated several thousand years ago in China. This entire workshop will be conducted in the tradition of special shamanic Qigong and healing. This workshop will help students learn: Chinese Shamanic Healing Principles Fundamentals of Taiji & Qigong – Five Elements and Yijing Eight Trigrams Martial arts and healing applications of the 8 movements of Taiji Qigong Mother Form updated bio: Zhongxian Wu was born on in a traditional fishing village on China’s eastern shore, outside the city of Wenling in Zhejiang Province, where the sun’s rays first touch the Chinese mainland. He began practicing Qigong and Taiji at an early age. Inspired by the immediate strengthening effects of this 5000+ year old practice, Wu committed himself to the life-long pursuit of the ancient arts of internal cultivation. He devoted himself to the study of Qigong, martial arts, Chinese medicine, Yijing science, Chinese calligraphy, and ancient Chinese music over the next thirty years, studying with some of the best teachers in these fields. He synthesizes wisdom and experience for beginning and advanced practitioners, as well as for patients seeking healing, in his unique and professionally designed courses and workshops. He is the author of The 12 Chinese Animals – Create Harmony in Your Daily Life through Ancient Chinese Wisdom, Seeking the Spirit of The Book of Change – 8 Days to Mastering a Shamanic Yijing Prediction System, and of The Vital Breath of the Dao – Chinese Shamanic Tiger Qigong. He recently founded Blue Willow Health Center (www.bluewillowhealthcenter.com) with his wife Dr. Karin Taylor Wu. Please visit www.masterwu.net for further details. I've never been to sanqingshan but have heard about it - sounds lovely. Love Qi, Wu On Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 1:08 PM, Michael Winn <winn.dao@earthlink.net> wrote: Yes - I did a full description. The more copy, the more likely people are to show up. I have some copy from previous I Ching retreat. This will also promote your book on I Ching. Do you have copy from website or other source on I Ching or Mother Taiji Form? Is there time to teach both in one week? I think the combination will sound very attractive. And I don't have any other Taiji next summer booked right now. love, qi, blessings, Michael ps. I explored sanqingshan with liqiuzhu a few weeks ago, it's a little south of huangshan. Very nice. Including it in my next China trip.

Week 3 June 29 - July 4 (Wed-Mon) If we advertise, but it doesn't book, we just cancel it.

No problem. Let's confirm week 2, calligraphy, same copy unless you send me an update. thanks. Hope all is going well with you and karin. I will add this email to the news letter list so you will see retreats promotions, etc. love, qi, blessings, michael On Oct 10, 2010, at 6:18 PM, Zhongxian Wu wrote: Hi Michael, Thank you for your email. Yes, I didn't receive your previous email but I usually don't check my hotmail account very often. It is better to use this account in the future. Unfortunately, I have a weeklong training already scheduled from June 13-19 2011 in West Virginia, so I can't make the first week. I can do week 2 - I prefer to do the calligraphy healing workshop with you guys. Please let me know if this works. Yes, I will send the information to my Asheville area students once we make a final decision.
