Sharing the Dream of Essential Energy
When Karen Atkins & I started collaborating to create the Essential Energy Classes a couple months ago, we were both deeply inspired to share the integration of the Energy Cultivation of Qi-Gong traditions we’ve practiced for decades, with the naturally supportive qualities of Essential Oils — both of these ancient technologies have had a profound impact on our lives, and we know that these simple daily practices can improve the lives of millions of people, by restoring their vitality and youthful joy.
Since then, we’ve already taught Essential Energy Workshops from coast to coast:

from Arcata, CA and Seattle, WA,


to full capacity in Bangor, ME, New York City and upstate New York —

— in each event, Karen and I have loved to see the inspiration catch like wildfire in the attendees!


So, Karen and I are riding the wave and expanding our campaign, and teaching our next Essential Energy Workshop in Hayward, CA on Sunday, December 6th at the True Fight Club from 2pm-4pm — Space is Limited — you can enroll here!

For people that have attended an Essential Energy Workshop and want more tools to make it a daily practice, Karen and I will be teaching an Essential Energy 4-Week Online Course on each Monday in January, 2016, from 10am-11am (Pacific Time Zone) — enroll for the Online Course here!
We are planning more Essential Energy Workshops and programs, so let us know if you’d like us to teach in your area, share with others that would enjoy these classes, and stay tuned for upcoming events!
Intro to Bagua – the Root of my Energy & Martial Arts Practice
The culmination and pinnacle of my training and teaching in Martial Arts and Energy work over the last 33 years, is the holistic and esoteric art of Bagua Zhang (“8 Trigrams Palm”), The Circular Art of Transformation.
Are you looking for holistic exercise with real world self-defense?
Bagua Zhang training focuses on core-strength, balanced alignment and maintaining a calm mind while moving from one’s center with continuous circular motion for enhanced awareness. You will learn how to increase energy, become more grounded, increase intuition and connection with patients and your environment, and build self-confidence through the spiral movements and coiling power of Bagua Zhang.
Discover your inner-power and evolve with the ancient wisdom of Bagua Zhang ~ the Art of the Vortex! For children and adults, beginners and experienced practitioners welcome!
Next month, I will be teaching 2 Intro to Bagua Workshops:
The first at the Dreamclinic in Seattle, WA on Saturday, December 12th, from 5pm-7pm,

and the second at Dragon Arts in Omaha, NE on Sunday, December 20th, from 1pm-4pm.

Bagua Workshop Attendees get $20 off their 1st Month of Membership at Mace Martial Arts!
