Sunim ran the Tuesday night class for 10 years in Palm Springs, California and 10 years in Brampton. He is now in Welland and continuing this special circle. It’s a small, heart-centered circle (only 7 spots) designed to help you: * Release “bad stress” from the body and nervous system * Open and recharge your energy channels (Qi) * Settle the mind and find inner stillness * Reconnect with your body, breath, and true nature * Feel lighter, clearer, calmer.

He also added that Qigong reverses the aging process.Inner Peace Qigong is a beautiful way to care for your whole being — body, mind, and heart. 📍 **Location** **Near Merritt Rd & Niagara St, Welland** (Exact address provided upon registration.) 💸 **Investment** **$17.70 + HST = $20.00 per class** **Class size is limited to 7**, so pre-registration is required. 📲 **How to Register** To reserve your spot: * **Text Sunim:** 416-797-7553 * **Email:** innerpeaceqigong@icloud.com You’ll receive confirmation and directions. 🧘 **What to Bring** * A yoga mat (we have extras) * Anything that helps you feel cozy (small blanket, pillow, etc.) * An open heart We also have extra mats, blankets, and meditation chairs available.

The nature of True Self IS positive, loving, witnessing, unmoved in the moving. No positive affirmation can deliver the depth of contentment, of joy that already exists, that comes forward from True Self. The more we connect with it, the more it grows through us. In such an environment, the body has comfort, hurry sickness and chasing to 'fix' what we 'thought' we were collapses. The nervous system can finally rest - Stillness. From this place, the body will not easily fall prey to disease." - Hae Kwang Sunim **We offer Qigong, Meditation, Zen, Breathwork, and Energy Healing classes designed to support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, emotional balance, and overall well-being. Reach out with any questions. DM Hae Kwang Sunim at 416-797-7553. You are welcome here!** What People Are Saying: "Hae Kwang does it right! Starts off with d-stressing exercises and then from a somewhat guided to full meditation followed with a talk that nails it for me! Can't believe i didn't have to travel to Asia for this experience. Thank you!" - Rick G. "Wanted to share I went to sleep last night and had a nightmare within 20 minutes. I was soooo tired and then remembered to do my Kidney cleanse and fell back asleep without a repeat nightmare. Typically grounding takes hours for me I so am grateful for this tool." With Gratitude.......... *Shelly* 🙏 Questions? Email us at innerpeaceqigong@icloud.com --- About The Teacher: Hae Kwang Sunim started training at the age of 18 in Thailand. He has taken full seminary and in temple training, with graduated ordinations (including Bhikkhu ordination) under Patriarch Kun Sunim in South Korea. He spent over 25 years distilling the deepest and hardest to grasp teachings into a simplified language so it can be taught and effectively applied directly in daily life. In 2005 (2549), the 19th Headquarters in Korea appointed Venerable Hae Kwang as Director of Bo Kwang Zen Center Palm Springs, U.S.A. In 2013, the Western Bhikkhus Council nominated Hae Kwang Sunim 교구장 Kyo Goo Jahng of all American-European Temples (closest english translation: North American-European Oversight Head / Bishop / Director). Qigong and Mind-Body Training Hae Kwang Sunim drew from the most effective mind-body teachings he acquired from studying under different teachers in the East, including the teachings of Wat Bua Luang in Thailand. The methodology is based on the ancient Eastern principles of Hai Palung (Energy Healing), Pon Klie Kwan Sow (Emotional Release), Meditation, Food Based Healing and the importance of compassion, gratitude, oneness, outreach and the need to support the whole person holistically - body, mind and spirit.

As we prepare to enter a new year, the Burning Bowl Ceremony offers a powerful and heartfelt opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings. You are warmly invited to join us for this sacred and reflective ritual. The Burning Bowl Ceremony is a beloved Unity tradition—an empowering moment where we release old patterns, worries, or limiting beliefs by writing them down and symbolically releasing them into the flame. This act of letting go opens the door to clarity, peace, and transformation.

Wouldn’t it be nice to find a way to overcome your feelings of anger so that you not only control them, but you no longer have the urge to lose your temper in the first place? And how about being able to shake off resentments, persistent annoyance, or even feelings of vengeance? We’d like to invite you to an event on how to overcome anger and resentment. We will show you why people have trouble controlling their temper and where resentment comes from. Flaring anger can ruin a meeting, a relationship, an opportunity, or just about any aspect of life. Worst of all, outbursts towards our family can create hurt that lingers throughout a lifetime. You want to have a civil conversation, and you’ve vowed that you wouldn’t lose your temper, but a few minutes later, the anger flares up. Maybe you’ve realized that being angry doesn’t get you what you want so you internalize it. Or maybe you avoid the knockdown, drag-out fights, but stewing in resentment is exhausting and takes an emotional toll. In this event we show you how to get to the root of your anger so that it stops being an issue to you. You’ll also learn why people harbor resentments and how to move on. Don't continue to struggle, make a difference in your life, and join us for this local event. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to the event. We look forward to seeing you there. This Meetup is sponsored by your local Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
