The lovely flowing movements of classical qigong (chee-Kung), similar to Tai Chi, help reduce the chance of falls in elders.

Qigong also helps alleviate the symptoms of depression in our very cloudy climate.

Kimberly Beyer-Nelson has been a spiritual director, as well as a qigong instructor and yoga therapist for more than 12 years. With theological training, a master’s degree in comparative religion and a graduate certificate in holistic healthcare, she has had a centering prayer practice for over 20 years and delights in leading contemplative retreats. In 2002 she published “A Little Book of Wholeness and Prayer.” She is also a poet, essayist, and speculative fiction writer.

Qigong is a moving meditation, very easy to learn, and suitable for all ages.
