Mark your calendars. Nancy will be in Sarasota in February 2023 and is planning in-person classes at the UU Church during her visit--one Qigong class, one Tai Chi Easy class, one Guo Lin class, and a 12-hour workshop “Healer Within Medical Qigong Practice Leader Certification Training”. Medical Qigong is any Qigong used for a healing, medical, or health enhancement purpose. In this training participants practice the four elements of practice: body posture and movement, self-massage, breathing exercises, and mental focus. Participants will also learn how to share these practices with others.If you have questions, contact Nancy directly at nancy.saum@gmail.com. If you use WhatsApp,you can also call +351 912 675 634. Just remember that Nancy is 5 hours later in Lisbon,Portugal.
SMI CHANGES
SMI has made the difficult decision to close "it's doors" as a non-profit organization. As individuals, we will continue to do our best to form part of the mindfulness community in the greater Sarasota area. There will be no more monthly newsletters as The Sarasota Mindfulness Institute but we will continue to update this website as well as share updates on our Facebook page. Please feel free to contact us via email at smi@sarasotamindfulness.org
A few of our dedicated members have decided to continue hosting our weekly Friday sits and monthly mindful walks. If you are interested in staying in touch and joining our future offerings, please sign up HERE. (Note: this is a new list and will be used in place of our previous registration forms. Please sign up even if you have signed up in the past.)
As a parting gift to our beloved community, SMI has donated $23,000 to New College (see letter below) and $5,000 to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota to support Mindfulness programs.
Weekly Meditation
SMI is currently only offering our weekly sits on Zoom. We will continue to do so until further notice. We look forward to seeing you on Zoom.
