Summer Seasonal Qi- Zoom
2025-08-09 10:00 - 11:00
You are warmly invited to join us in a celebration
of Summer Seasonal online at 10 am
Summer is the season when nature expands, bursting with mature fruit, abundance, and color. There’s a joy and happy energy in summer that is contagious.
Fire is the element of summer and directs us to shine our unique Self in this world. It helps bring us to our heights, moving us to the fulfillment of our plans & dreams. Fire expands outward and up, teaching us how to move from the heart
out into our world.
The heart and small intestines are the organs represented in this season. When we are balanced in summer, joy, love and contentment are present. When we are out of balance, we may find ourselves scattered, insecure or discouraged. It might look like a schedule that’s too full, as we try to fit in way more than the hours allow. Or perhaps skipping meals and exercise routines because of sudden inspiration for something else.
In summer we are encouraged to balance Fire within us and to enjoy abundance. We invite you to join our Team members in Summer Seasonal Qi to learn and move in ways that fulfill.

Seasonal Qi Zoom Earth Element 2025
2025-10-25 10:00 - 11:00
We invite you to join our Tai Chi Team for an online Seasonal Qi celebration Late Summer and focus on theEarth element. Late Summer is nature’s pause—between the vibrant energy of summer and the quiet introspection of fall. It’s a time of transformation, harvest, and healing.
Together we will explore practices supporting the Stomachand Spleen meridians, the energy pathways most active during this time. The Stomach helps us take in nourishment—physically and emotionally. When balanced, we feel full and satisfied; when out of balance, it can stir up feelings of emptiness or neediness. The Spleen distributes qi (life force energy) to every cell, helping us feel sustained and supported. An imbalanced Spleen may show up as worry or over-concern.
✨ No experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to move gently and connect.
✨ Free and open to all—feel free to invite friends and family!
We’re excited to share this calming, grounding space with you. Hope to see you there!
To your health,
Deirdre, Sheri, Sifu Dan, Maureen, Betty, Deb, Meghan and Mike

Winter Seasonal Qi 2026 Zoom
2026-01-10 10:00 - 11:00 | Online – Zoom, United States
Winter Qigong practices focus on the organs of the Water Element:
In your body, the water element particularly affects your kidneys, urinary bladder, fluids, spinal cord, bone marrow and brain.
During this period, all of nature is in a state of stillness and hibernation. Therefore, it’s the best time of year to conserve your energy and nourish your qi. Qigong practices for winter emphasize stillness and inward reflection, sleeping longer hours, taking nans self-massage and maintaining internal warmth throughout the organs especially in the lower Dantian, which is your internal furnace.
✨ No experience is needed—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to move gently and connect.
✨ Free and open to all—feel free to invite friends and family!
We’re excited to share this calming, grounding space with you. Hope to see you there!
To your health,
Deirdre, Sheri, Sifu Dan, Maureen, Betty, Deb, Meghan and Mike

Chi Fest 2026 * Free
2026-01-24 10:00 - 16:00 | Jarboe Park Community Center, 510 Florida Blvd, Neptune Beach, Florida, 32266
Join us for a day of Celebration, as we promote a positive, healthy, and sustainable lifestyle. Chi is a Chinese term for a vital life force or energy that flows through all living things, connecting the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person. It is an invisible force, often compared to an electric current, that can be strengthened through practices like diet, sleep, and exercise, and is considered to be in balance when one is healthy and vibrant.

* Medical Chi *Nature Chi *Juggling Chi *Walking with the Clouds Chi
*Animal Frolics Chi *Three Treasures/Five Elements *Dancing Chi

Life force: Chi is understood as the animating force behind life itself.
Universal energy: It is not limited to people, but is a universal energy that flows through all of nature.
Physical and non-physical: On a physical level, chi can be seen as the air we breathe, while on a more energetic or spiritual level, it connects the body, mind, and spirit.
Yin and Yang: The flow and balance of chi are deeply connected to the principles of yin and yang, which describe complementary and interconnected forces.
Health and vitality: When chi is balanced, it is associated with good health, vitality, and a strong sense of well-being. When it is blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to illness.

Spring Seasonal Qi - ZOOM
2026-03-21 10:00 - 11:00
Now is the season of leaving the Yin of Winter and embracing the Yang of Spring. Spring suggests renewal and regeneration, a burst of new energy that can bring both negative and positive change. Think of the joy of a new job, moving house or retiring, and the stresses that may come with each. With the gentle movements of Qigong and Tai Chi we can move through this new season with expectancy, energized to align with the best of what this season offers.
Wood represents the element of Spring, when a very active energy brings growth and progress. Branching out may come with visions and the need for wise decision making, which calls for flexibility and open heartedness. The color green symbolizes growth and new possibilities.
The organs of the spring are liver and gallbladder. In traditional Chinese medicine, the role of the liver is the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body. When we’re not aligned with what we’re doing, we feel stuck. Thus the liver energy is out of balance, anger appears, with all its attending emotions of impatience, frustration and stress. We may notice this in neck pain or digestive issues.
Holding onto anger causes our liver energy to stagnate. Anger harms no one but ourselves as we feel unable to move ahead. Spring can be a time to notice this and release it as we see nature bursting forth in exuberant color and growth. With that release comes planning and execution of our visions, with the gallbladder in charge of decision-making. Creativity flows and a time of expansion follows.
Movement encourages the smooth flow of Liver Qi so please join us.
