*DEAR FRIENDS,*

All classes, unless otherwise indicated, are at DYC**

 Sears Lofts, 2633 Telegraph Ave., #305, Oakland, CA 94612**

The LIUDAO and BAMBOO Assemblies are made up of people who are practicing
“zuowang” non-conceptual meditation (1 hour a day) in a minimum one-year
commitment. At present Liudao assembly has been meeting for more than 12
years and is full. The Bamboo assembly is open to new participants (see
website for how to get instruction and join). These assemblies happen each
month to study Laozi/Daodejing and the various practices of DYC. **

*The NOURISHING WITHIN* series is about the inner/outer qi quality of the 24
Qi Nodes that define the seasons of the Chinese lunar almanac/calendar. What
food, conduct and medical treatments are most effective in calibrating our
qi to Nature (Dao) – what is health and synchronicity? References are made
to Chinese almanac astrology, medical Classics, Daoist, Buddhist and
Confucian philosophy and the direct experience of everyday life. These
classes are open to everyone. The class includes lecture, cooking class/meal
and discussion. (4 Category 1 CEUs for California Licensed Acupuncturists
are available [Provider #609]).

*The MANTIC ARTS* series presents Chinese Divination, Astrology and Fengshui
(geomancy) in lecture format. This series is not a course. It is open to
beginners and advanced students. Each month the presentation will be about
an aspect of the Chinese mantic (divinatory) arts with time for
questions/answers about the various applications contained in Liu Ming’s
forth-coming Mantic Arts workbook. Those attending each session have an
opportunity to influence the following month’s subject matter.
Pre-registration is not required but email us if you can to let us know you
are coming. In NOVEMBER it will be Part Two of a 2-part series on the
Yijing/Zhouyi – if you wish to listen to Part One it is available as a
download from our on-line store. http://www.dayuancircle.com/zencart
