Eastover Estate and Retreat, in Lenox, will present a spring full of qigong and tai chi events with internationally renowned leaders and masters in Eastern philosophy, medicine and practices. The events include a weeklong Healing of the Heart Medical Sheng Zhen Qigong event from March 31 to April 7, and an open house event on April 29 for leaders, teachers and students to celebrate World Qigong Tai Chi Day.

Other events include a weeklong symposium in June on Eastern medicine. “Medical bills are high and insurance is costly today, but through daily practice of qigong and tai chi, and the integration of Eastern medicine with Western methods, people can prevent disease and take control of their own health,” says Eastover founder Yingxing Wang. “Qigong and tai chi are daily tools for spiritual cultivation, aligning the heart and improving balance and physical health.”

A documentary of 2016 symposium masters and a film on qigong healing cancer will be premiered at the 2017 symposium. “We will dive deep into the wisdom of the ancient healing traditions of the East and discuss practical modern applications of such powerful practices as qigong and tai chi,” says Wang, noting that the 2017 events welcome both beginners and seasoned practitioners.
