Tai Chi & Qi Gong

We are going to Chinatown to their New Year's festival. We will first meet INSIDE spadina subway station where you pay your fare. We will then take a short walk around Chinatown to learn some interesting facts about Chinese customs and food. Then we will go to "Chinatown Centre" where they're having Chinese performances inside including music, dance and craft booths. You can stay in Chinatown afterwards yourself and go to eat at some of places that were pointed out on the walk. This is a free event. You MUST meet us at the subway otherwise it will be too hard to find us at the festival.

It's better when we're together. Come and experience the power of the WHM with a wonderful group of people. We breathe, we go into the cold and we teach our bodies to heat up properly. We develop resilience and the mindset to use these powerful healing tools over and over again, all year round. This gathering is fully guided by Wim Hof instructor Steve Beattie. If you are new to this, come on down, enjoy the support and practice in a safe way with us. If you already have a WHM practice this meetup is a great way to take it to the next level, and make lots of new friends. There will be a fire, snacks and drinks shared by other attendees. We have been doing this 6 for years! **What to bring?** * Yoga mat * Weather-appropriate clothing (better to dress too warm!) * Bathing suite, towel * Water shoes (optional) In extreme weather being prepared is very important.

These Teachings gifted me with insights and tools that changed my life in ways that I never thought possible. During the last two years... because of these tools... I was 'graced' to be able to breathe into the fear and face the cancer diagnosis together with the courage to go through the cancer treatments. Sunim... I have deep appreciation and gratitude for all that you taught me... thank YOU - Patricia ❤️‍🩹🙏 \* “I hadn't realized how much I have missed Sanga and your words of wisdom until today\!\!\!

*Show & Tell* Hey everyone! We’re doing another Show & Tell this Saturday. For those new or haven’t been to one yet, here’s the idea: Bring something you’re working on, something you’ve created, or even just something meaningful to you. Could be anything – a project you’re building, something you found beautiful, something collecting dust that you want to dust off. *What people have shared before:* • Stories or books they’re writing • Drawings, paintings, watercolor techniques • Woodwork, crochet, knitting • 3D prints and designs • Figurines they’ve crafted • Academic work or thesis projects • Lucky coins (objects with a story) It’s about how an ordinary object becomes extraordinary when you share its story. What looks like just a coin to someone else carries this whole journey, and suddenly everyone’s delighting in it with you. That’s what happens when we share what’s personal and meaningful. It creates this cross-pollination – you see someone’s woodwork and remember that instrument you’ve been meaning to pick back up. Someone shares their writing and it sparks something in you. We inspire each other, motivate each other, appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship we’re all cultivating. It’s a way of coming back to what matters, what actually nurtures us rather than exhausts us. Bring your craft, your lucky coin, or just yourself. All levels welcome – budding, aspiring, or seasoned.
