Wild Goose Qigong is a breathtakingly beautiful Taoist alchemical movement practice that harmonizes movement, energetic flow, and helps people experience the inheritance of their self-healing. The forms emerged over a thousand years ago, inspired by the movements of geese. In this ten-week series, we will concentrate on Wild Goose movement sets, qigong movement warm-ups and meditations. Our weekly classes will incorporate inquiries from the group, and various sections from the mosaic of Wild Goose sets — each one offers different qualities and principles of the movement of our qi.

Qigong classes are offered as series to promote focused intention and ongoing practice. You are welcome to come to Zoom class live - please do if you are able! —  and if you sign up for the series, you will receive a weekly video link to practice with on your own timing.

Embodied Mentorship, Somatic Coaching, and  Creative Life Practice Support ~ Available by Appointment




Tailor-made, private, and small group sessions in embodied mentorships, somatic coaching, the Feldenkrais Method, Qigong, and bespoke creative movement and life practice. Offerings are based on the vital need to access our capacities for intimacy with our body-being in place, in this time, for utilizing embodied ecologies, aesthetic research and critical consciousness as a compass for creation and intention. This personal attention can help you access significant changes in your life, help to develop your own foundational practices, provide a facilitated space for you to follow your unique embodied inquiries, and can help you access your creative power, clarity, and grace. We can draw from the whole toolbox, and are guided by your interest and what emerges through our collective development.

These sessions are available both online as well as in a small beautiful studio downtown Oakland ~ Covid safe, indeed.

More on Movement Sessions





I I am so overjoyed to be joining the fantastic Kokoro Clinic and Studio in downtown Oakland, where I have started to be in residence (@kokoroclinic). It's a beautiful space for sessions and small classes, with a Covid-safe protocol. As I have begun my time there, it has invigorated me to make offerings and to re-evaluate what is possible for collectivity and commune now. Through the intensities and devastations of pandemics, shelter-in-place, and the revelations of racial upheavals, after a first year of hermetic zoom-academic and deep focus in Practice-as-Research at UC Davis, after an uprising of consciousness about indigenous lifeways, and #landback, after Radius at Counterpulse last weekend, after the power of tuning4armageddon, after returning to being with students and clients Live, I am so grateful for the power of community and to remember the potency of dancing, attuning, touch, and movement life to precipitate transformation and right relation.

Would you like for me to witness your creative process, support your embodiment, your land ethic, movement practice, intention and action, to support your ideas and visions? Get in touch if you would like to work together. My shingle is up and I am at ur service.

Wild Goose Qigong is a breathtakingly beautiful Taoist alchemical movement practice that harmonizes movement, breathing, attention, and energetic flow. It helps people experience the inheritance of their self-healing. In this nine-week series, our practice will concentrate on Wild Goose sets, and additionally we will practice foundational qigong movement warm-ups, healing sounds practices, and meditations. The forms emerged over a thousand years ago, inspired by the movements of geese, and were popularized in China after centuries of privacy through qigong master Yang Mei-jun. Our weekly classes will incorporate interests from the group, and sections from the several Wild Goose sets — each one offers different qualities of the movement of our qi.

I will also offer outdoor qigong sessions if there is a small group ready for it :) imagine that, outside together > get in touch if you are interested.

Movements can be modified for all body types and people, qigong for everyone!

I will also offer outdoor qigong sessions if there is a small group ready for it :) imagine that, outside together.

I am in an inquiry with cultural structures and vibratory nature of things, in upending economic structures, connecting with where we come from, the specificities and evolutions of our lineages, learning about lineage through movement, about being in place and seeing what grows from being with place.

New Landings Fall Sessions ~
Embodied Earth Language


This is a space for landing. Intimacy with self and a small group. As we have been facing myriad devastations and consequent uprisings, how can a practice of embodiment and receptivity with our surroundings provide a key for just actions in this time? Through moving, writing, dialogue and quietude, we will practice living communication with ourselves, the environment, and one another. This is a place for subtle explorations in liberation, for reinvisioning the somatic experience, for unsettling colonialism, and for finding rooted connections with planet earth.

Inspired by years research with Suprapto Suryodarmo, contemplative dance practices, collaborations with artists such as Cave Coast Continuum and Eleni Stecopoulos, and the potency of these times.

The Power is in Connection


"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There's no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. This is how civilizations heal."                  
          ~ Toni Morrison

The foundations of this country are based on the labor, care, violence and deaths of black, indigenous, and people of color. What could reparations and a just transition look like today?  So much is being uncovered in this time. Displacements are growing exponentially, and the inextricable links between racial violence and ecological destruction are being increasingly revealed. More than ever it's time to explore the power of engaging through collective liberation and creative evolution.

Like so many of us, I have been reading, gathering, watching, discussing, and archiving resources. Here are just some. Thank you to all who have provided links over these months, including dear inspirators Pearl Ubungen, Jess Dorrance, Raha Behnam, Gopi Sheldon, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, and so many others:

@freeskewl CLASSES
Tuning mediations for the end-times, new times
How to reimagine the communications between ourselves, one another, and the environment, in real time, in movement? Tuning is a way experience moving-in-relation with the places we inhabit all the time, and expanding from there. These workshops will offer compositional practices and movement meditations that can emerge through embodiment, sensory-perception, screen-time, and our surroundings, sheltering-in-place.  Attuning with our body-beings, the virtual, with the light, and our inner light.  Dance and movement for breathing, making space and finding place, to nourish life and cultivate life force. What is needed now and forever. Inspired by the luminary Tuning of Lisa Nelson, Suprapto Suryodarmo's Amerta Movement, and the radical connectivity of Taoist healing qigong.

**

Tuning Scores are a fascinating mosaic of movement and performance discovery-games originated by Lisa Nelson. The Scores reveal basic elements of action, by attuning to the rich details of composition, behavior, and communication, altogether. They are a multisensorial and kaleidoscopic set of practices that are wildly fun to do. Through the specificity of solo movement warmups, group dancing, and verbal cues, tuning lays out an approach for performance research that can change how you make, perceive, and do in any creative medium.
