Virtual Taoist Qigong Community Class

We will be gathering on April 29th for a special virtual Taoist Qigong community class.

This offering is held in dedication to our teacher, Jesse Lee Parker of the Immortal Arts Academy, who has recently experienced a serious injury requiring surgery and will be unable to teach or earn income during his recovery.

The Practice

This class will be a 90-minute seated Qigong practice focused on internal cultivation.

We will work with foundational elements of Taoist Inner Alchemy, or Neidan, an ancient system devoted to refining internal energy in support of vitality, clarity, and alignment with the natural order.

Through breath, awareness, and subtle energetic work, we cultivate and stabilize the internal field.

This session will be experiential in nature, with no emphasis on theory.

What to Expect

• 90-minute guided seated Qigong practice

• Focus on internal awareness and energetic cultivation

• Space for stillness, refinement, and integration

• A shared container of practice and support

Lineage & Intention

This offering is rooted in the Immortal Arts tradition and shared through the teachings of Jesse Lee Parker.

For thousands of years, these practices have been passed from teacher to student, preserving a living lineage of internal cultivation.

This class is offered as a way to both continue that transmission and support the teacher who has so generously shared it.

Join us for The Worcester Stronghold, a community initiative created to strengthen and connect Worcester’s small business owners.

This gathering is an opportunity to step out of the day to day of running a business and into a space of reflection, conversation, and shared growth.

Together, we explore:

• Leadership tools to help you navigate challenges and lead with clarity and confidence

• Financial perspectives to support sustainable and intentional growth

• Meaningful connections with other entrepreneurs shaping the future of Worcester

Whether you are just getting started or have been serving the community for years, this space is designed to meet you where you are.

This is not traditional networking. It is a space to exchange ideas, share resources, and have real conversations about what it takes to build and sustain something meaningful.

As one of the most popular gifts on Valentine’s Day, chocolate has been associated with love for generations. Though its connection with the heart dates back thousands of years, long before industrialized chocolate entered the cacao farming arena. 

There are some key differences between ceremonial grade cacao and industrial cacao.

True Ceremonial-grade Cacao is a heart-opening medicine, which pairs beautifully with inner work, creativity, study, meditation, journaling, dance, strengthening movement, and all forms of expression. In Ancient Civilizations, Cacao was instrumental during conflict resolution, as tribal leaders would invite the medicine to cultivate empathy and facilitate diplomacy.  And now, Native Heirloom Cacao is in the process of extending her branches from the jungles of Central and South America and offering her fruits to the hearts of people all over the world. 

As Cacao grows in popularity, it’s becoming increasingly important to connect with her roots. 

And that’s what I hope to inspire during our  Cacao Circles.
