SUMMARY:Special Spring Event:  Chi Gong and Tai Chi with Grandmaster Hongchao Zhang
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate Spring by getting your chi flowing at this special Heartwood double seminar! Whether you take one of the seminars or both\, you will feel the benefits of these beautiful Chinese martial arts forms. \n \nSeminar One: Spring Liver Cleansing Chi Gong  \nThis is a special Chi Gong form created by Grandmaster Zhang\, based on his expertise in both Chi Gong and traditional Chinese medicine. \nWhen Chi is in balance\, the body is healthy. When Chi is out of balance\, blocked\, or depleted\, sickness can result. Chi Gong works on the balance of energy to maintain a healthy body. Spring Liver Cleansing Chi Gong assists in preparing the body for the new year. Spring is the time to plant\, extend\, and grow; that is reflected in the extending\, flowing movements of this Chi Gong form. The spring energy\, which is associated with the liver\, will be nourished\, while the liver — the organ responsible for (among other things) detoxifying pollutants — will be addressed and supported. \nSeminar Two: Simplified Sun Tai Chi \nTai Chi is a well-known form of Chinese exercise for health. At this seminar\, a special\, simplified Sun Style Tai Chi form suitable for teaching in one hour will be explored. Sun Tai Chi is unique among Tai Chi styles in that it incorporates three internal Chinese martial arts: Tai Chi Quan\, Xingyi-quan\, and Bagua-Zhang. Sun Tai Chi is appropriate for all ages and levels; it is especially beneficial for those who suffer from respiratory problems\, but all may benefit from this graceful and meditative form. \nAbout the Instructor: \nGrandmaster Hongchao Zhang holds Bachelors and Graduate degrees in Gong Fu from the Wuhan Institute of Physical Education and the Shanghai Institute of Physical Education. He has taught Chi Gong\, Tai Chi\, and Gongfu extensively in China and the United States\, and has published on these subjects. He was named an Outstanding Master by the USA Wushu-Kungfu Federation\, is a multiple Gold Medalist\, and is a renowned judge at national and international competitions. He is also an expert in Chinese medicine. He teaches in Chicago. \nDate: Sunday\, May 1 \nTime: Spring Liver Cleansing Chi Gong\, 3-4:00; Sun Tai Chi\, 4-5:00 \nWhere: The Classroom at Heartwood \nCost: $40 per seminar; $75 for both \nTo register\, contact Michelle Bobier at michellebobier@me.com or 773-991-4357

SUMMARY:Why Not Home? A Special Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Why Not Home? \nA documentary screening that showcases personal stories of doctors\, midwives and nurses who choose to have their babies at home\, will be shown May 5th at 7 pm\, Heartwood Center – Skylight Room\, 1818 Dempster St\, Evanston IL 60202. There is no charge for attending but registration is requested as space is limited. Talk back panel discussion following screening.

Maternal mortality rates are rising in the US at at time when they are falling in every other industrialized country. Why Not Home? challenges viewers to move beyond the polarization and judgement that has plagued this issue for decades and instead embrace a more integrated and collaborative model for the future.” whynothome.com \nThis event is being sponsored by woman is a river – cosponsored by BirthLink Network and The Coalition for Illinois Midwifery.

Students of all faiths\, philosophies and walks of life who are interested in exploring this path are welcome. Class is offered on a drop-in basis; begin any time. Classes are held in the second-floor Heartwood classroom with the exception of the Vajrasattva Feast which is held in the Skylight Event Space. \n4th Sunday\nVajrasattva Sadhana\nKnown as one of the most precious and profound Dzogchen Sadhanas within Vajrayana\, this profound Sadhana from the Ati Zabdon Terma of the great master Terdag Lingpa is filled with blessings and merit. This Sadhana contains within it the entire meaning of the profound Vajrayana path. This practice is open for authorized students only. Coordinated by Nancy Floy and Trish Mooney. For initial registration\, contact Nancy at 847.491.1122 x11 or email. \nNancy Floy\n \nI am the founder and director of Heartwood Center for Body Mind Spirit and founder of the Heartwood Cancer Program. My vision\, more than 20 years ago\, was to create a refuge and sanctuary where people of all walks of life could come together in community to learn and grow and heal.  I have been practicing Asian Medicine for nearly 30 years and bring experience with both acupuncture and energy healing as well as mindfulness meditation.  Treatment sessions include time for the patient to speak about what is causing their suffering and allowing the treatment strategy to arise organically.  A session includes bodywork for relaxation\, acupuncture to delve deeper into clearing and balancing the channels and guided meditation to soothe and settle the mind consciousness.  I am trained in Tibetan\, Japanese and Chinese Medicine and seamlessly weave these beautiful modalities together to provide a path out of the suffering that comes with being human.  To schedule a treatment session call or text:  847-491-9858 email: nancyfloy@heartwoodcenter.com\nCredentials: MA\, LAc\, Dipl Ac \n847.491.9858 | Email
