**Small-Group Inner Peace Qigong, Qi Meditation, Zen, Energy Work & Healing Class in Welland — Max 7 People** **Tuesdays • 6:30–7:45 pm** Join **Hae Kwang Sunim** for a deeply restorative **Inner Peace Qigong** class — a gentle, powerful blend of **Qigong, Zen, Zen, Energy Work & Healing.** This is **not** like any Qigong you’ve done before. 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. Learn new tools each class. No previous experience is required. Just come as you are. 🌿 ✨ **What You’ll Experience in Class** Each 75-minute class includes: * **Soft “Inner Peace” Qigong** to gently clear tension and dis-ease * **Zen and Mind (Heart Practice)** * **Experiential Qi energy infusion & healing instruction** * Plus **lying-down ‘still’ qigong’** (deep rest + reset) * A peaceful closing that often leaves people feeling like they’re “floating” out of class This class is described by many as an **“ultimate stress reducer.”** 🌱 **Benefits People Often Notice** * Reduced stress and anxiety * Deeper sleep and improved energy during the day * Relief of chronic tension and pain * Improved balance, coordination, and circulation * A calmer mind and steadier emotions * A deeper mind–body connection and sense of inner peace As acclaimed cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz, former vice-chair and professor of surgery at Columbia University and director of the Cardiovascular Institute and Complementary Medicine Program at New York–Presbyterian Hospital writes in his best selling book ‘Staying Young’: “Qigong allows us to cope with the day to day struggle of being human – it can help us stretch and stay loose and balanced in both mind and body.” On the Oprah Winfrey show in November he simply put it this way, "If you want to be healthy and live to be 100, do Qigong." 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. Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in. **All are welcome.** If you’re feeling called to restore your energy, quiet your mind, and grow in a small, loving community — this circle is for you. 💛 "When the mind is trained, quieted, then room is created for our brightness, our True Self to shine through. 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.

COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.

We are excited to host Guided Meditations on Sundays at 6 pm in our Ashram/Gallery/Home! !! !! Everyone wants to know what kind of God we worship and what kind of meditation we do. We worship the GOD that LOVES US! We understand that god is an energy and it lives in us as us. Our meditations guide others to actually experience that energy! xoxo We don't just talk about peace, love and affection, we experience it :) Also we are a home not a business, so we enjoy building community one friend at a time. We always build in time for people to mingle & develop friendships! xoxo Much Love, Frank Tennyson Namaste, Frank Tennyson http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/a/f/9/9/600_447824953.jpeg

Our January program is privileged to have Kristen Tregar as our speaker. Ms. Tregar is the co-author with John de Lancie (the actor who portrayed the character Q on Star Trek next generation) of a radio play depicting the events surrounding the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial. The trial decided the issue of some of the Dover school district board members attempting to insert creationism disguised as "intelligent design" into the 9th grade biology curriculum. She will discuss the trial and the process of writing the play. (Bob Leonhard has seen the play and it is riveting and tense). Ms. Tregar's bio is below: Kristen Tregar is a dramaturg, director, playwright, and theatre teacher. She earned her Ph.D. in Drama and Theatre from the UC San Diego and UC Irvine joint program. In addition, she has a MS in Forensic Science from City University of New York- John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a MA in Educational Theatre from New York University- Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. In 2013, in collaboration with Irish colleagues, she founded *The Ireland Project*, an intercontinental devised theatre work with high school students in New York and Tallaght, Ireland. Her original short story "Far From Here" was recently published in *Stay Awhile Longer: More Scenes From Temecula Valley*. She has two rescued dogs (Kira and Harry) and she rides, competes, and foxhunts with her horses, Andromache and Baker Street Irregular. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
