I recently attended a function at my daughter’s kindergarten class themed “A Day in the Life of a Kindergartner”. Her teachers put together a slide show with pictures of the class during their daily activities. As one might imagine the slides were of the children playing together on the playground, going to the library, learning basic [...] Congratulations to those who successfully completed their first Internal Alchemy (Nei Dan) course this past weekend! Participants from all walks of life gathered in Washington DC on Friday to begin a three day intensive course in the highest level of Qigong training.

International travel is good for just about everyone. There is nothing quite like getting on a plane and [...] The scope of Chinese culture is so broad and inclusive; you might be wondering “Where do I start?” That’s a good question.
