In our present-day, western culture, we are are very much accustomed to Brute Force. In the work of IP, we endeavor to understand and apply the ancient taoist approach of Empty Force, which is the polarity of Brute Force, for it has the potential to be an antidote for many modern maladies. Rarely in our waking hours do we come in contact with, or have an experience of emptiness. Many of us fear that if we place value on emptiness, we will become lazy or our work will loose its value. The truth is, if emptiness is one of our values, our work increases in value, everything we are responsible for and attending to, can be done more efficiently, more joyfully, and with greater focus. The moments we spend in emptiness give us back hours of tranquility. Your somatic practice is one inroad toward awakening, and as far as I’m concerned, your awakening is the greatest gift you can give to humanity, this year, in the season of giving. Tune into this qigong gathering, to develop your relationship with emptiness, & the courage found in an open heart. Rinse our and bless-open all of the super highways & backroads of your meridians and feel the presence of loving awareness within you.
