Dear Friends,

I’m delighted to invite you to a special event at Heart of the Valley Yoga. November 9 marks my tenth anniversary of Qi Gong practice, and I’ve been feeling both celebratory and highly reflective. When I stepped into my first class in 2015, I would never have imagined myself teaching. Over the ensuing years this practice served at first as my life-line, then became a profound source of self-healing. It has grown into a home for my devotion and passion, and currently occupies a central place as both livelihood and greatest love.

My life has dramatically transformed in the last ten years, step by step, in a gradual unfolding that has been at least partially captured in the narrative poetry I’ve authored over this timeline. I would love to share some of these words with you. I will say as a warning: these were not an easy ten years. There are tough topics here, and some adult content (probably not appropriate for kiddos). And in the midst of all of it, something has kept shining through the dark. At this time of year and at this moment in history, I hope my words serve as a gift and inspiration toward what is possible. Not simply with what is given to us, but in what we make with it.

The talk and reading will run about an hour, and folks are welcome to stick around until 8:30 pm for questions, discussion, and mingling.

I hope you will join us!

Warm wishes,

Georgia
