Kai Chi Do Circle


Kai Chi Do, which translates to "Free Spirit Way", is a metaphysical workout that will inspire and energize you. It incorporates martial arts, aerobic yoga, and meditation in motion. First we move through The Depths, which utilizes Qigong postures to remove energetic blockages. Then we move through the 5 Elements connecting deeply to Source, Self, and Others. Kai Chi Do is done in circle to enhance connections and all movement can be modified. Just like the ancient martial arts, Kai Chi Do is also a living philosophy that can inform and enlighten your daily life. Every Kai Chi Do circle is offered up to end the suffering of all beings.

APRIL 2016 True Community: From Divergence to Allegiance


“Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things.”  - Albert Einstein

True community demands that each of the individuals become their most authentic self. This might require them to be a bit divergent for a time. It will most certainly ask them to heal, forgive and evolve. But when the time comes, a threshold will present itself that asks the individual if they will use their power for the greater good of us all, or only for the self. This is an inner attitude, for the actions may look the same. Therefore True Community can only be achieved through the rigorous self-initiations of inner honesty and integrity through group work, which provides the context and the content for a higher order of spiritual partnership and relationship. Allegience, to be healthy must be earned. It is from this place that a higher order of living is born. it is from this place that masters work together in mastery of love.

The day is here and now that I can die to a cause and remain alive in the cosmic fire of it's brighter light. Allowing it to burn away all that I am not. As I am continuing to die the little deaths, the little ego deaths to stay in the ring and rise triumphant into my immortal nature, not through martyrdom, but because I remain simply and forever embraced in a higher love, not for myself, but for us all. ― Rev. Renee Bledsoe

"Without devotion, action and knowledge are cold and dry and may even become shackles." - Mahatma Gandhi
