Greater Seattle Calendar: Spirit, Intuition, Holistic Health

As a sensitive person, you feel and process everything more deeply than most— the emotions, the subtleties, the noise — and your mind tries, over and over, to find relief from the worry, self-doubt and frustration that brings. Distractions provide only temporary respite. It's exhausting, living so much of your life inside your own head.

Your sensitivity isn't the problem — it's a gift . Engaging your 5 senses in playful ways can ease your mind, so you can relax into your natural self.

Creative Mental Fitness is a new kind of class designed especially for sensitive people who are ready to step off the mental hamster wheel. We play sensory and collaborative games to get you out of your head and into playful presence together.

In this class, we learn somatically grounded mental fitness skills that free up your creativity and sensitive awareness to support your well-being every day. Come join us to interrupt autopilot negative thinking and play mental fitness games that uplift, connect, and create resilient thinking.

The Creative Mental Fitness Menu

• The Sensory Gym: Gentle, easy-to-learn strategies to engage your five senses, reset your nervous system and activate your creative brain
• Unmask Negative Thinking: Lighthearted games to spot those inner voices — The Critic, The Overachiever, The Pleaser — and take their power away through play.
• Creative Connection: Collaborative fun activities that spark curiosity and spontaneity, bypass small talk and get straight to the authentic conversations sensitive people crave.

***

🧠 Why Mental Fitness?
Think of it like physical fitness. A strong body can handle more stress and recover faster. Mental fitness does the same for your sensitive mind — it gives you the capacity to feel deeply without getting swept away. The crowded room, the offhand comment, the endless to-do list — you can move through them without being drained or sidelined by self-doubt and overwhelm. And you build that fitness here through connection and play, not isolation and hard work.

***

What you'll take home:

• Awareness: Learn to identify your Inner Critic in real-time and shift into a calmer state before you spiral.
• Resilience: Begin building the mental muscle to bounce back from negative thoughts in minutes rather than hours or days.
• Authenticity: Experience the relief of skipping small talk for engaging conversations that energize you.
• Community: Connect with people who understand that being sensitive is a strength, not a flaw.
• Play: Rediscover the joy of spontaneity in a safe space where "getting it right" doesn't matter — being present does.

No experience required. No yoga mat needed. Just bring your curious mind and your big heart.

#### Activate Your Qi with Yi-Ren® Qigong

“Jedi Practice & Spoon Bending Party”
A Special Workshop at the Inner Wisdom Fair

Have you ever wanted to tap into your true energy potential, or plug into the power of the universe — just like a Jedi? 🌀✨
Now’s your chance to explore what is possible!
Join us for Activate Your Qi with Yi-Ren® Qigong — Jedi Practice & Spoon Bending Party, a lively, hands-on workshop where ancient energy wisdom meets playful modern exploration. This is not your average Qigong class — it’s an adventure into the frontiers of your own bio-energetic potential!

## What is Yi-Ren® Qigong?

Developed by Guan-Cheng Sun, Ph.D., a molecular geneticist and Taoist Qigong master, Yi-Ren® Qigong is a scientifically informed energy practice that integrates traditional Chinese medicine with modern biology and energy medicine. Through gentle movements and meditations, you will awaken your body’s bio-energy information superhighways — the system of meridians and energy centers that connects your brain, organs, and endocrine glands — and begin to feel and direct your own Qi (life force energy). Qigong’s health benefits are recognized by leading institutions including the National Institutes of Health and Harvard Medical School.

## What to Expect:

• Learn foundational Yi-Ren® Qigong movements and meditations
• Experience and sense your own bio-energy field — the real-life “Force”
• Strengthen your mind-body connection and reduce stress
• Try your hand at spoon bending — a fun, eye-opening demonstration of focused bio-energetic intention
• Leave feeling energized, grounded, and inspired

This workshop is perfect for curious beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Whether you’re drawn to it by the Qigong tradition, the science of energy medicine, or simply the thrill of bending a spoon with the power of your mind, this session promises insight, community, and a little magic.
May the Qi be with you! 🌟
