Paganicon 2018

Start your Paganicon morning with gentle, energy-building movement! This returning popular workshop will discuss the Chinese conceptualization of Qi -- the life force -- and its relevance to magic, duality, and balance. Participants will learn simple movements to cultivate Qi, which can be adapted to any physical ability and incorporated into personal spiritual and physical practice. The presenter, a certified instructor, can demonstrate Tai Chi forms, including advanced weapons forms, illustrating the principle of extension of Qi such as we do with magical tools (bring your wand or some other tool to practice this with). We will briefly address concerns about cultural appropriation, and resources for further practice will be provided.
