Five Elements Six Conditions

A Taoist Approach to Emotional Healing, Psychology and Internal Alchemy

 

BOOK CLUB STUDY GROUP & CHI KUNG WARM-UP EXERCISES

Would you like some company reading and integrating Gilles Marin's Five Elements Six Conditions book?

We just came from our annual retreat in Crete, and I noticed how many students were committed to join this educational retreat, who committed the time and resources to enter the healing incubator - who hadn’t found the time to read the books Gilles refers to repeatedly in class.

 

On the flight home, during a half-nap, it dawned on me how fun it would be to have a book club and read it together. Whether you’ve read it once, many times, cracked it open, or not, you are invited to a 12 week dive into the 5 Elements 6 Conditions book together.

 

I was asked by several students in the summer if I would host an ongoing, online course consisting of our chi kung warm-ups. Why not combine this with our book club?

The format for the classes will be something like this:
• 40 minute Chi Kung warm up exercises
• 5 minute bio break
• 45 minute discussion of last weeks reading assignment
• 5 minute bio break
• 15 minute sharing in smaller groups with 3-4 people; sample discussion topics
provided
• 10 minute closing with next weeks assignment previewed

Meetings will be recorded for replay if you can’t make it live or wish to revisit the session.

Questions and contributions to the conversation can be sent from virtual and all participants, through the Tuesday before our meeting, to be addressed in the discussion portion.

 

Groups may stay in touch throughout the week to share insights from dreams, with clients, and personal practice. If you won’t be attending live, you can be placed in a group with other virtual attendees. If you wish to be in a learning pod with anyone in particular, let us know!

 

We’re sending this invitation to participants in TaoTouch retreats over the last several years, and to those who have subscribed to a membership with the Chi Nei Tsang Institute, envisioning that this study group could play a role in keeping vibrant the connections in our community by staying plugged in to the TaoTouch teachings and to each other for continued growth and healing.
