Exploring the importance of stillness and subtle movements: a discussion and guided practice of Qigong

We invite you to a heartfelt and uplifting Sunday Service, where we come together to explore texts and shared experiences that align with our doctrine. Through reflection and discussion, we’ll uncover how these principles can guide us toward our highest selves, deepen our connection with one another, and embrace the oneness of the world. All are welcome to be part of this sacred space of growth, understanding, and unity.
Our Sunday Service this month will cover a discussion and a physical practice.
This Sunday Service will kick start your week with peaceful, sustained energy. Special guest Robison Godlove will provide a guided Qigong session. Then following the session, Nancy Do and Robison will lead a discussion on the importance of stillness, subtle movement and breath in combination with sacrament. Very special sacrament will be provided during service. It will be optional to take sacrament.
Qigong means energy cultivation and uses slow, deep and gentle movements to optimize energy within the spirit, body and mind. By harnessing ancient Eastern practices from China such as Qigong, these movements provide deep lessons in how to be more thoughtful about our seemly simple everyday movements.
In a world that is moving faster than ever with the use of technology, the art of slowing down and developing a skill over time through committed practice makes us whole again. Let’s cultivate this practice in community. See you this Sunday.
Please bring layers!
Robison Godlove is formally trained as a 7th Generation Royal Style Tuina practitioner at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, Robison has worked clinically with cannabis and Tuina since 2013. He also studies and teaches Taijiquan in the lineage of Zheng Manqing and holds a Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership from Purdue University.
