Starting on Wednesday, April 8th the Seaside Public Library will be hosting a six-session series of Qigong (aka Chi Kung) classes moderated by local River Gibeaut. The classes are scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month from April through June with each 90-minute class starting at 5:00pm.
Gibeaut has studied, practiced, and taught qigong for more than 35 years. These classes will focus on simple, easy-to-learn healing techniques that anyone can understand and practice. The methods are highly effective and can help students reduce their own pain as well as assist others who may be experiencing discomfort.
Unlike practices such as tai chi, these classes do not involve external movements. Instead, the techniques focus on guiding your awareness through the body to generate and strengthen your energy—known as qi or qigong—and learning how to project that energy for healing purposes.
Space is limited and sign-ups are required so please contact the library if you want to attend, via email (library@cityofseaside.us), phone (503-738-6742), or in person.
