SUMMARY:In-Person: Qigong for Emotional Alchemy - A Half-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In-Person: Qigong for Emotional Alchemy – A Half-Day Workshop \nwith Chia-Ti Chiu \nSaturday\, August 8th\, 2026 | 10:00am – 1:00pm ET \nLocation: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nQigong is a gentle movement practice that has been practiced for millenia. It’s been shown to reduce stress and improve energy\, but people have also reported that it can help them with processing emotions as well.  \nQigong helps us not only become more aware of how we feel\, but gives us the ability to move through our emotions with more flow. Qigong as an embodied practice allows the body to “speak” when the mind wants to shut down or react.  \nAccording to Traditional Chinese Medicine\, our emotions affect the organs\, immune system\, and the autonomic functions of the body. Our health suffers or flourishes depending on how we digest our emotional experience of life. During this half-day workshop\, we’ll explore how qigong supports us to process\, integrate\, and release held emotions and accumulated tension.  \nIn addition to qigong\, we’ll practice meditation\, active listening\, and journaling to further understand how to alchemize our emotional distress into more ease.  \nIn-Person Registration:\nPlease register below. If you are able\, registering at the “Supporter” level enables others to attend at the “Subsidized” level. Thank you for your generosity! (Please note that the registration price includes a base level of teacher support\, and you will have the opportunity to donate more after the program.) \nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window. \nBring a Buddy: If you are a member of our Circle of Friends\, you’re invited to bring a Dharma buddy to this program for no additional cost. Simply select “1” from the drop-down next to the Bring a Buddy level\, and enter your special discount code (provided in your Circle of Friends welcome email) to reduce the price to that of a single\, standard registration. This registration will grant attendance for you and your buddy. \n \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities.

When you understand attachment styles\, many long-standing struggles suddenly make sense\, and with that clarity\, hope begins to emerge. \nThe Heart of Attachment is a daylong retreat with meditation teacher George Haas that weaves together attachment theory\, Buddhist meditation\, and practical relationship tools. This experiential training supports you in repairing your attachment disturbances\, moving toward secure functioning\, healthier relationships\, and a more meaningful\, grounded life. You’ll learn how attachment patterns shape your emotions\, relationships\, and sense of self\, and how to interrupt cycles of dysfunction that repeat in life and work. \nThrough guided meditation\, Ideal Parent Figure (IPF) protocols\, and peer exercises\, you’ll develop greater self-clarity\, emotional regulation\, and relational confidence\, along with a clear\, meditation-based roadmap for lasting attachment repair. \nJoin us to move from chronic dissatisfaction into a life that feels empowered\, connected\, and aligned. \nNote: This program will be recorded.
