Qigong Class

Weekly classes start Friday, June 13, 2025 at 6 pm in the McKeeman Room
Open to all, no experience necessary
Led by Norm Nyburg

Qi is our essence, the energy that is present in all things.

Qigong (sounds like chee-gong) is an ancient system of movements, postures, meditation, and breath work used to improve and maintain health and balance. In India, it is known as Chinese yoga. Qigong translates, basically, to the Art of Energy Cultivation.

It is easy on the body and is not strenuous. It is the basis for what is known as TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine.

There are over 3,000 different styles of Qigong. In fact, not many people realize but, tai chi is actually a form of Qigong.

The style Norm is certified to teach is known as Elixir Light Qigong. It has a long history dating back to a Buddhist monastery in the mountains of China. Elixir Light Qigong is a mixture of Buddhist and Daoist traditions taught by teacher to student for hundreds of years.

It helps to develop a sense of inner calm and peace, leading to improved health and well-being.

“What’s the Big Idea?!” with Rev. Josh

Second Wednesday of the month, 7 pm, One of the program options during Stone Soup

Stone on hiatus July and August and returns in September.

A new Adult RE class lead by Rev. Josh.  We explore the “big” issues of religion through study and discussion.  There is less of a lecture and more of a group learning structure and encourages participation.  This is a drop in class – no need to have been to past sessions nor to commit to future ones.
