SUMMARY:Qigong for Balance & Self-Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nIn this 5-week course\, we will explore a series of standing Qigong movement and breathing exercises to build sophisticated body awareness\, improve physical balance\, and develop skillful reflexes to protect against falls. Throughout the course\, students will be encouraged to think more broadly about the concept “balance\,” as it applies to both body and mind\, and how to improve it with calmness\, confidence\, and ease. Course activities will include a combination of standing and dynamic exercises and integrated\, interactive lectures based in traditional Thai and Chinese Medicine. Beginners\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. Course is taught for persons aged 50+\, however all are encouraged to join. \nAbout the Teacher: \nAshley has 5 years’ experience helping people regain balance and stability within their daily lives by teaching them to inhabit their bodies with presence and confidence. She has supported as an assistant teacher\, and later taught\, Qigong & holistic health education programs for seniors under the Lifelong Learning Payap international program at Payap University\, since 2018. Her approachability\, positivity\, and compassionate facilitation of self-inquiry through embodied experience lends a refreshing approach to conventional “balance and posture” classes. She is an Instructor under the Thai Qi Holistics Center & Traditional Thai Medicine Clinic in Chiang Mai\, has assisted teaching in workshops in South Korea\, Indonesia\, and USA\, and guides international students online. She currently provides public classes and private programs in New York\, USA. \nAbout the Practice: \nThe Thai Qi Holistics system of Medical Qigong is a method developed in Thailand\, which integrates the wisdoms of Medical Qigong\, traditional medicine\, and locally inherited “dhamma\,” the Buddhist science of mind. Core to this approach is the in-depth study of personal alignment. Through mindful motion\, individuals build awareness of the habitual body posture\, movement\, and breathing patterns that cause them discomfort\, both physically and mentally\, in daily life. Through this process\, they become empowered to recognize\, accept\, and transform the habits which do not serve their health and life goals\, and learn to shift them toward a state of optimal well-being and confidence. In the TQH system\, building body-mind awareness and understanding the body’s inherent capacity for healing are the foundations for personal and spiritual growth. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Qigong for Balance & Self-Empowerment
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nIn this 5-week course\, we will explore a series of standing Qigong movement and breathing exercises to build sophisticated body awareness\, improve physical balance\, and develop skillful reflexes to protect against falls. Throughout the course\, students will be encouraged to think more broadly about the concept “balance\,” as it applies to both body and mind\, and how to improve it with calmness\, confidence\, and ease. Course activities will include a combination of standing and dynamic exercises and integrated\, interactive lectures based in traditional Thai and Chinese Medicine. Beginners\, as well as practitioners of all levels\, are welcome. Course is taught for persons aged 50+\, however all are encouraged to join. \nAbout the Teacher: \nAshley has 5 years’ experience helping people regain balance and stability within their daily lives by teaching them to inhabit their bodies with presence and confidence. She has supported as an assistant teacher\, and later taught\, Qigong & holistic health education programs for seniors under the Lifelong Learning Payap international program at Payap University\, since 2018. Her approachability\, positivity\, and compassionate facilitation of self-inquiry through embodied experience lends a refreshing approach to conventional “balance and posture” classes. She is an Instructor under the Thai Qi Holistics Center & Traditional Thai Medicine Clinic in Chiang Mai\, has assisted teaching in workshops in South Korea\, Indonesia\, and USA\, and guides international students online. She currently provides public classes and private programs in New York\, USA. \nAbout the Practice: \nThe Thai Qi Holistics system of Medical Qigong is a method developed in Thailand\, which integrates the wisdoms of Medical Qigong\, traditional medicine\, and locally inherited “dhamma\,” the Buddhist science of mind. Core to this approach is the in-depth study of personal alignment. Through mindful motion\, individuals build awareness of the habitual body posture\, movement\, and breathing patterns that cause them discomfort\, both physically and mentally\, in daily life. Through this process\, they become empowered to recognize\, accept\, and transform the habits which do not serve their health and life goals\, and learn to shift them toward a state of optimal well-being and confidence. In the TQH system\, building body-mind awareness and understanding the body’s inherent capacity for healing are the foundations for personal and spiritual growth. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:From Crop to Cup - An Excursion to Lanna Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nFind out how your coffee goes from being a “cherry” growing on a tree to a cup of your favorite brew. We begin this excursion by visiting the Integrated Tribal Development Foundation warehouse and drying shed in Mae Jo where we will observe the process of pulping\, drying\, hulling\, and grading the coffee beans. We then move to San Phi Sua where Lanna Coffee has its roaster and coffee shop. Transportation and a cup of coffee of your choice are included! \nA Bit of a Backstory on Lanna Coffee \nOur roots in coffee go back to 1961\, when Richard Mann began introducing Caturra and Catuai coffee hybrid seedlings to rural villages in the Thai highlands. With his program being widely successful\, the United Nations recruited Richard to head an opium eradication project that ultimately battled opium production by providing a viable replacement – coffee. For nearly 2 decades\, Richard worked with coffee as a tool to end years of oppression that resulted from the opium trade. During this time\, Richard’s son Mike spent a lot of time with his father in villages\, learning about their way of life and the problems they faced. Eventually\, Mike decided to use this knowledge and experience to continue his father’s work by founding the Integrated Tribal Development Foundation (IDTF). \nEstablished in 1990\, ITDF is an organization committed to improving the lives of poor hill tribe communities “in many aspects of life\, including clean water\, sanitation\, agriculture\, education\, health\, and cash crops.” It created a project that would become the first fair trade certified coffee co op in Thailand. The objective was to take coffee farming to the next level by producing a coffee that could reach international standards\, and in turn provide more money and opportunity for poor ethnic farmers. IDTF provides proper training\, improved coffee varieties that can thrive in the hills of northern Thailand\, and processing equipment in order to meet these standards. \nToday\, over 400 coffee farms in Northern Thailand are 100% farmer owned. ITDF purchases single-source\, pesticide-free coffee beans directly from these farmers and markets them as Lanna Coffee. The main market is in the US. To bring the story full circle\, the manager of Lanna Coffee’s warehouse and coffee processing operation (and our guide for this excursion) is Mike Mann’s son\, Richard\, named after his grandfather who first introduced coffee seedlings into the highlands of northern Thailand over 60 years ago. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Annelie Hendriks Photo-Art - Variations on Rice Fields
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nAnnelie’s photo-art in ‘Variations on rice fields’ describes her reality\, emotions\, personality\, and capabilities. She composes these photo-art images without the use of computer software\, using her photographs of the rice terraces in Yuanyang\, China\, printed on vellum paper. Together with self-made texture backgrounds printed on transparency paper\, she creates combinations on a lightbox and photographs the result. \nHalf of the works that will be on display were produced by placing the photographs in a layer of water in the freezer\, then cracking the ice and sometimes using food coloring to create the final effect – which was again photographed. \nAnnelie is Dutch and has lived in Chiang Mai for the last 24 years. Her last exhibition ‘Icebound’ was held at WEAVE in January 2023. \nDuring her personal tour of her second exhibition\, Annelie will explain the essence of her art and the techniques she used\, followed by a Q&A session. Coffee and cakes are available in the café of WEAVE. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:

SUMMARY:Rice Outside the Paddy: Maurice Rocco's Expatriate Life and Death in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nAmerican jazz pianist Maurice Rocco lived and worked in Thailand for 12 years. For awhile\, away from American racism and homophobia\, Rocco found safety and commercial success as an expatriate in Bangkok. From 1964 until his murder in 1976\, he enjoyed a vibrant second act as a nightlife pianist. During those dozen years\, however\, ideas about sex and gender\, as well as race\, changed greatly. The U.S. looked to Thailand as an ally in its fight against communism. In turn\, Thailand became a key American ally\, and a comfortable place for Americans to be. Rocco lived in the space that resulted. His time in Bangkok traces a shifting society. His murder\, which happened precisely when American troops began to withdraw from Thailand\, was a tragic reflection of this shift. He led a complex life as a Black\, gay farang in Thailand. This talk will not untangle the threads of Rocco’s identity. Rather\, we will sit with the messiness\, viewing Rocco’s years in Bangkok from several angles. We will consider how musicians lived\, worked\, and sometimes died in the rough currents of transnational labor during the Cold War. \nAbout the Presenter: \nBenjamin Tausig is associate professor of music at SUNY-Stony Brook University. His research focuses on sound and politics in Southeast Asia\, particularly Thailand. His first book\, Bangkok Is Ringing: Sound\, Protest\, and Constraint\, was published in 2019\, and adapted into an audio edition the same year. His second book\, Bangkok After Dark: Maurice Rocco and Cold War Global Nightlife\, is a historical ethnography of cosmopolitan nightlife encounters in Thailand during the long American war in Vietnam\, to be published by Duke University Press in 2024. Tausig likes to play basketball and chase his children around. \n  \nDownload Flyer here:
