PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Since her early 20s, Tedi Zeng has dedicated her life and work to growth and empowerment for women. Trained as an ObGyn in China, she was active in educating and helping women from underserved areas in mainland China. More recently, Tedi has hosted women’s workshops in health/wellness, body awareness, experiential theater for trauma recovery, and women’s oral history.
During this empowering weekend, Tedi will share different tools from Eastern medicine to better connect with your body, mind, and soul.
- Workshops: Discover your inner wise woman through three relaxed and engaging workshops of questions, conversations, drawings, coloring, storytelling, writing and movement.
- Qigong – Ba Duan Jin: Simple yet powerful, this form of medical Qigong is designed to improve the functioning of your internal organs and reduce muscle tightness and chronic pain. You will learn a 7-minute daily exercise routine that you can use in your home practice.
- Acupressure: The best medicine is within your body, and the best doctor for you could be you. We will go through some of the most practical acupuncture points for self-healing, and learn how to give yourself a relaxing treatment using acupressure massage with essential oils, wherever and whenever you need it.
- Acu-Yoga: Combining acupressure and Hatha yoga, acu-yoga smooths energy by movements that activate the acupuncture meridians.
- Meditation: Thoughts and beliefs can shape our lives. We will practice meditations that bring us to a higher vibration level, ease our discomfort, and achieve a more peaceful state.
