The Roots of Tai Chi:
Strong As the Mountain, Supple As Water
April 6- 11, 2027
Hohenwald, Tennessee
Tai chi (also spelled Taiji Quan) teaches you to have the suppleness of flowing water combined with the confident strength of a mountain. Come learn, in exquisite detail, a basic series of Yang Family Tai Chi movements, suitable for complete beginners as well as advanced students who wish to reach a new level of skill and understanding. Although the emphasis will be on Tai Chi for health and vitality, you will also discover how Tai Chi improves ability in any athletic activity, including running, swimming, fitness workouts, and the martial arts.
Ken Cohen’s emphasis is on quality—each posture contains a world of information about relaxation, alignment, grounding, and inner strength. The gentle movements cultivate a quality of mind that is clear, peaceful, and focused—a kind of meditation in motion. Harvard University declares that it is also “medication in motion”, with proven effects on balance and other aspects of health and well-being. According to Chinese medicine, Tai Chi increases the body’s reservoir of the resilient healing energy known as qi.
As an added bonus, Ken will offer a line-by-line commentary on the Tai Chi Classics, brief but incredibly deep explorations of the philosophy and practice of the art. He will also discuss 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 in the verdant rolling hills and old growth forest of Tennessee, 2 hrs from Nashville International Airport, Retreat includes lodging and delicious farm-to-table meals.

Qigong Foundations:
Healing Practices for Longevity & Vibrant Well-Being
June 6-11, 2027
Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, New York
“For a tree to grow tall, you must strengthen its roots; for a stream to flow far, you must clear its source." This beautiful Chinese saying captures the essence of what we will learn in this highly experiential workshop. First learn the 8 Brocades Qigong, the most famous foundational style of Qigong, consisting of gentle stretches and postures, beautiful and flowing as silk brocades, for balancing the energy of the heart, stomach, kidneys, lungs, and other organ systems of the body. Then learn the complete 12 movement Bone Marrow Cleansing to release stagnation and build core energy. Finally discover the joy of Standing Meditation and Crane Walking for postural alignment, deep breathing, and unity with nature. Moving practices will be complemented by tranquil meditations and a discussion of Qigong healing wisdom. Open to beginners and all levels.
