Retreat
430 East
Street
- Lenox,

Taijiquan is
usually
taught from
the “outside
in” -
meaning one
learns the
choreography,
practices
for years,
and
gradually
comes to
understand
what’s going
on inside.
In this
workshop,
two
teachers/healers
with over 70
years of
martial arts
and clinical
experience
between
them, teach
it instead
from the
“inside out”
- showing
not just how
to feel the
qi, but what
to do with
it.
This retreat
is for
taijiquan
teachers and
intermediate/advanced
students. It
is organized
around Yang
Cheng Fu’s
13 Original
Postures, a
short,
powerful
Yang Style
form that
Master Fukui
Yang learned
from his
granduncle.
Each posture
in the form
will be
explored,
analyzed,
and tested
in the light
of key
taijiquan
principles:
Yin/Yang
Theory &
Practice
Energetic
Coherence (Zheng-ti
Jin)
Central
Equilibrium
(Zhong Ding)
Five
Elements (Wu
Xing)
Song
(Relaxation
into
essential
structure)
Song Kua
(Release of
Hip Tension)
Joint
Alignment
and
Sequential
Activation
Jin
(Expression
of qi
through the
body,
directed by
consciousness)
Rooting
Shen
(Spirit)
Fukui Yang
and Rick
Barrett will
share their
extensive
knowledge
and
experience
in a loving
and
understandable
manner,
showing how
to get the
most out of
a taijiquan
practice.
Master Yang
brings the
unbroken
tradition of
authentic
Chinese
martial arts
and
philosophy
and Rick
Barrett
takes us
“Through the
Western
Gate” (his
book title)
to translate
esoteric
principles
into
teachable, "experienceable"
abilities.

To feel at
ease and
worry free
is
everyone’s
wish. We're
all seeking
deeper
meaning in
life and
lasting
happiness.
Most people
are seeking
for ways in
the outer
world in
which to be
healthy and
happy;
however, if
we would
seek
internally
instead –
turning to
the Heart,
it is
possible to
tap into the
deep and
lasting
contentment
that resides
there - in
all of us.
Jing Li is a

Flying
Phoenix is a
rare and
powerful
medical
Qigong
system
created over
400 years
ago by
renowned
Taost monk
Feng Dao Deh.
It is a
complete
Taoist
monastic
system
comprised of
standing and
seated,
stationary
and moving
postures
that impart
a wide range
of salient
health
benefits.
The 24
Flying
Phoenix
Postures/Meditations
consist of
(A) an
easy-to-do
esoteric
breath-control
formula that
ignites a
specific
flow of Qi
within the
body;
followed by
(B) a
meditation
in repose or
a serene
moving
meditation
using
repetitive
natural
movements
that are
done three
times slower
than typical
Taichi
practice.
Easier to
learn and
practice
than Taichi,
its health
benefits are
tangible,
profound,
and more
immediate.
Terence Dunn
is an expert
instructor
of Chinese
martial,
yogic, and
healing arts
with more
than 40
years of
training.
Since 1990,
he has
popularized
Tai Chi
Chuan, an
authentic
Qigong
practice
throughout
America and
Europe
through his
highly
acclaimed
Tai Chi for
Health and
Chi Kung For
Health DVD
programs.
Educated at
Yale College
and the
Harvard
Business
School, he
wrote the
first
medical
protocol in
American
medical
history
applying
therapeutic
Tai Chi and
Qigong
exercises to
accelerate
recovery
from major
surgeries.
In 2000 and
2001, Terry
became the
first Tai
Chi trainer
in the NBA,
training the
Los Angeles
Lakers
during their
second
championship
season.

"Because of
the great
interest in
Qigong in
the west, it
is important
to have bona
fide
teachings by
bona fide
teachers.
Too often
students
wind up
learning a
little bit
of this form
and a little
bit of
another,
while never
learning any
complete
system. This
series is a
good example
of a serious
and gifted
instructor
who offers a
complete
system of
healing
qigong to
the serious
student." --

"Just
excellent.
Terry's
emersion in
the subject
is obvious.
A pleasure
and
privilege to
study with
him." ----Dr.Gene
M.
Gudmundson,

"I can
already feel
the benefits
and am
inspired to
do more. It
can be a
meaningful
process in
my life as
long as I
practice. I
have very
skilled
tools to do
that now."
-Pat Nolan,
Wabasha, MN
"Very Good.
As a new
comer to chi
kung, I
found the
instruction
very easy to
follow and
felt the
effects
immediately.
Thank you so
much for
sharing your
gift."- J.
Lloyd

"Outstanding.
On a scale

Main Street
at Christmas
November 30,
December 1 &
2, 2018.
Sponsored by
the
Stockbridge
Chamber of
Commerce,
the holiday
celebration
offers a
full range
of
activities,
with
highlights
including
holiday
readings,
house tours,
caroling,
and a
holiday
concert.
Capping off
the weekend
is a
recreation
on Sunday of
the scene
depicted in
Main Street
at
Christmas,
complete
with vintage
automobiles
parked in
the spots
occupied in
the
painting.
The day’s
activities
include
horse drawn
rides, a
visit from
Santa, Roger
the Jester,
lunch at the
Christmas
Food Booth
and much
more.
The
festivities
celebrate
Rockwell’s
popular
depiction of
what for
many is the
quintessential
small New
England
Town, with
all the
longing for
a simpler
time that it
represents.
Rockwell
began
painting the
popular
image in
1956, but
did not
complete it
until
December
1967.
The image
and
character of
Stockbridge
has changed
little over
the years,
thanks to
the great
care and
affection of
its
residents,
and it is
that special
ambience
which draws
so many.
