| Stillness in Movement and Movement in Stillness A workshop-retreat in Yoga, Qigong & Zen meditation at Zengården, Fellingsbro June 29 to July 4 2010 Treya Forlenza will lead yoga/qigong in the late morning and afternoon, for about two and a half hours each time with a short break after half the time. You will also get instructions in zazen (zen meditation) in the beginning of the course. There will be two optional 25-minute rounds of zazen mornings and evenings. There will be one hour of work practice each day and also time for rest, walks, and swimming in the nearby lake in the afternoons. Zengården, once an old country school, has been a Zen Buddhist retreat center since 1990. It is situated in Fellingsbro about 120 miles west of Stockholm. Price, vegetarian meals included: 4200 SEK / 430 € (Members of Zenbuddhistiska Samfundet: 2800 SEK / 290 €) This workshop-retreat is open to all levels of experience and is a great opportunity to learn, expand and develop qigong, yoga and zenmeditation practice in a peaceful environment where you can let go and relax on a deeper level. Drawing from these traditional arts to delve deeper into the Body/Mind relationship, we will investigate between holding postures and moving with fluidity. Come explore the connection between organic movement that finds its creative source in stillness, and stillness that is not rigid but rather springs from relaxed expansion. The workshop is full.
