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]). To find out if there are places available in
the classes email us. Pre-registration is required.

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.

Learn about the traditions of *Spiritual Fragrance*. In April Liu Ming is
offering an incense workshop. In this workshop he discusses the ancient
traditional use of incense to invoke gods/ancestors, healing disharmonies of
the body and creating qi-rectified space for meditation. He will also
present the logic/purpose behind his own formulations of powdered incense.
All DYC incense and incense equipment will be offered at 20% discount for
participants. Half the proceeds of this workshop will be donated to Nubri
Monastery in Western Nepal.
