Going deeper, in tune with the seasons

In the workshops and themed gatherings I connect Tai Chi and Qigong with themes such as the seasons, the Five Elements, nature and personal growth. You gain more insight into the exercises and their background, and take exercises home with you.

A workshop is also a lovely way to get to know the practice if you don’t yet attend a weekly class.

Full moon, fire and silence

Once a month we gather at De Ruige Hof in Amsterdam. We walk, we move and we end around the fire. Sometimes with cacao, sometimes with a guest teacher. Everyone is welcome, with or without experience.

Participation is on a voluntary donation basis, so it’s open to everyone.
