Mythosomatic Qigong
with Sunny Smyth
Mythosomatic Qigong forms are tools of sensitivity and a means of contacting our vital essence (Jing) through the imaginative power of the mind combined with specific archetypal movements. In this context, archetypal means the fundamental emotional patterns of our psyche's functioning reflected in universal, symbolic images. The practice of mythosomatic forms inspires the formation of a new mythic story in one's life that is more closely aligned with one's destiny and one's Jing, the original procreative energy. A fundamental concept of these practices is that mythos (personal, cultural, and ancestral mythologies or stories) and soma (the felt experience of the body's materiality) combine in highly attuned forms to draw the body and the soul toward one another.
Tuesdays 10am - 11am
