SUMMARY:Organ System Balance as We Age: A Holistic Approach - Afternoon Course
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nIn our 6-session afternoon course\, following the morning practice sessions\, we will go deeper into a range of topics related to organ system balance\, specifically as we age. The course will begin with a close examination of the Stomach organ system\, from an oriental medicine view\, followed by both theoretical and experiential lessons on how to strengthen the organ’s meridian – or energy line – in the body. Participants will also receive an introduction to Qi Massage\, a technique which uses a comprehensive understanding of acupressure points and meridian alignment to promote overall wellness. Toward the end of the course\, we will explore the cycles of the body’s growth and aging process\, from the perspectives of Chinese and Thai Medicine. Finally\, the last lesson will wrap up with a holistic discussion on how factors in our diet such as the taste\, texture\, and even temperature of our food can support our digestion and overall health. \nBeginners to Qigong and Oriental medicine\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. \nSome lessons will include seated movement and breathing exercises intended to support our understanding of the day’s topic. These lessons are marked with an * below. \nAfternoon Course Topics: \nBuilding a Solid Foundation: Our Stomach & the Earth Element\nTuesday\, January 17th \n\nLearn about the stomach’s relation to the Earth element\, in both Thai and Chinese Medicine\, and how this knowledge can empower us to better understand our own digestive system in a simple\, yet logical way.\nUnderstand the root cause of common digestive system conditions\, according to Element theory\, and how to balance them by changing our habits in areas such as physical motion\, diet\, and daily routine.\nSimple tips to self-diagnose our stomach system\, in order to practice proactive preventative care.\n\nWhat’s in a Meridian?* \nJanuary 24th \n\nA brief introduction to meridian theory: what are “meridians\,” in Chinese Medicine\, what do they have to do with the health of our internal organ systems\, and how do we balance them for optimal health?\nLearn about the Stomach Meridian\, where it is in the body\, what conditions we can treat by balancing this meridian\, and why it is so essential for good health.\nThe Thai Medicine approach: introduction to “Sen lines\,” Thai Medicine’s meridian system\, and how this knowledge can support a strong digestion system.\n\nQi Massage: Balancing from the Lower Body*\nJanuary 31st \n\nIntroduction to the basic alignment of our legs and feet\, in relation to meridian theory\, which supports optimal functioning of our internal organs.\nReceive and experience Qi Massage from TQH qualified instructors while seated on a chair.

SUMMARY:Qigong for Organ System Balance - Morning Course
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nDuring our 6-session morning course\, we will focus on a series of standing movement and breathing exercises with the intention of strengthening selected internal organ systems. We will begin by focusing on the stomach organ system\, which plays a major role in digestive health\, as well as the health of our other organ systems. During the latter part of the course\, we will use the same exercises to introduce how to balance some of the Yin organ systems\, such as the spleen and pancreas. Over the length of the course\, participants will gradually learn basic Yin-Yang theory through the body practice. Time for Q&A and discussion will be included at the end of each session to solidify our understanding of the exercises’ benefits for the health of our internal organs\, especially as we get older. Beginners\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. \n*Morning course participants are highly recommended to continue for the afternoon course\, which will provide a deeper theoretical understanding of the organ systems and meridian alignment.

SUMMARY:Enchanted Land Book Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nBook Title: Enchanted Land. Foreign Writings about Chiang Mai in the Early 20th Century (River Books 2023) \nFormat: Illustrated Introduction by the Editor (Graham Jefcoate) with Readings from the Book \nIn the years between 1867 and 1941\, Chiang Mai and northern Siam (the present-day north of Thailand) was home to a small but influential community of farang or western foreigners. The westerners who came to live and work in the north during this period fell generally into three main categories: missionaries associated with the American Presbyterian Mission; the so-called “teak-wallahs”\, as the managers and assistants employed by the foreign forestry companies were known; and government officials\, who were either foreign diplomats or specialists working for the Siamese government. The improved accessibility of the region created by the expansion railway network also meant that\, by the mid-1920s\, more recreational travellers were visiting the north. \nMany of these residents and visitors and wrote about their lives\, their work and experiences in the north in the form of letters\, reports\, magazine articles\, memoirs\, novels\, short stories and even poetry. The present book provides a selection of their writings\, very few of which are currently in print or easily available. The writings are personal and often vivid. As Ben Svasti has said\, in the book you “can almost hear them chatting away about their work\, their dinner parties\, their club\, the climate\, insect pests and elephants in this enchanted land so distant in so many ways from their homelands in the west.” \nProgramme: \nAfter an introduction and some readings from the book there will be the opportunity to ask questions\, buy copies (at a special discount) and have them signed by the editor. \nThere will also be a display of some of the rare books on which Enchanted Land is based and an opportunity to see other rare books in the Lifelong Learning Center Library. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Drawing from Observation
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nSeeing/Drawing: A short workshop in honing our observational skills through drawing for the purpose of gaining a deeper observation and appreciation of nature around us. This short course on drawing has the lofty intention of helping you to emancipate yourself from the quicksand of unthinking-looking and empower you to truly see in order to create your own knowledge. As we draw\, our understanding increases and so does our ability to transmit this understanding to others. Over the course of six ninety minute sessions\, you will learn to draw from observation and use this new skill as a way to look deeper into the world surrounding you. Seeing/Drawing is in fact a form of Zen meditation. A future workshop will deal with the development of your personal artistic style. \nMaterials the students will need are just: one small sketchbook and one mechanical pencil or ballpoint pen. \nAbout the Presenter: \nNicolas Luna grew up in rural Mexico\, the son of a Mexican quantum chaos physicist and an American mother who taught\, wrote\, edited and translated. Part of his youth was spent in the United States. In California\, he studied Cultural Anthropology and Art\, specializing in printmaking at UCSC. As an adult\, he has lived and often worked as an artist and teacher in Germany\, Mexico\, Hungary\, and Thailand. Each place\, the people he met and the need to constantly reflect and investigate in order to become a better teacher\, has influenced his art and provided inspiration on his journey to find peace in paradox. His work has been sold worldwide in such countries as Thailand\, Mexico\, USA\, Malaysia and Hungary.
