The Roots of Tai Chi:
Strong As the Mountain, Supple As Water
October 29- November 1, 2026
Nevada City, California
Tai chi (also spelled Taiji Quan) teaches us to float like clouds and flow like water, yet have the quiet inner strength of a mountain. Come learn, in exquisite detail, a basic series of Yang Style Tai Chi movements, suitable for complete beginners as well as advanced students who wish to experience a fresh approach while greatly expanding their skill and understanding.
Ken’s emphasis is on quality—each posture contains a world of information about relaxation, alignment, grounding, and inner strength. These principles are important not only for health, but to improve ability in any sport, including the martial arts. The class also includes an introduction to the science behind Tai Chi and how it promotes longevity and harmony with nature. The ultimate goal is to have a Tai Chi mind and body: a life of balance, peace, and energy.
Location: a beautiful retreat center at the entrance to Tahoe National Forest, only 70 minutes from Sacramento Airport, lodging and delicious meals included.

Primordial Qigong: Vibrant Health, Harmony with the Tao
November 9-13, 2026
Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California
After learning the essentials of balanced posture, alignment, and breathing, enjoy step by step instruction in all 12 movements of Hunyuan (Primordial) Qigong. This comprehensive system of meditative energy exercises purges the body of toxic or stagnant qi, clears the major acupuncture meridians, and teaches you how to gather and absorb qi from nature.
Primordial Qigong is meditation in motion and includes the two most famous forms of Taoist Meditation: the Microcosmic and Macrocosmic Energy Circulation, in which the solar (yang) and lunar (yin) energies flow in harmony, an essential key to vitality and longevity. You will also learn how to recharge the three dan tians, the body’s primary energy “batteries”, increasing your storehouse of resilient qi (life force) as a buffer against stress and other challenges to well-being. Primordial Qigong is the legacy of Ken’s teacher Madame Gao Fu, in direct lineage from the founder of the “medical qigong” movement in modern China. The course is perfect for beginners and all levels.
