Rutter’s Mill Park
We meet under the trees in Rutter’s Mill Park, behind On the Hill Cafe,
between Mosher, Mt. Royal, Lafayette, and John streets.
Many thanks to the Rutter Mill Park Association for their care of this
lovely public space that makes a perfect Sheng Zhen classroom.
with Teachers: Peter Van Buren and Donna Blackwell
All classes are open to everyone; beginners, drop-ins, and onlookers are welcome for any class.
What About Rain?
Summer Rain rules apply: If it's pouring rain at 4:45, we probably won't be there. But if it's not pouring, we probably will be there. In a drizzle, we can still find space to meditate under the gazebo, and be fairly dry.
Waterproof yourself and join us . Practicing in a gentle summer rain is delightful.
These 1-hour classes focus on both seated forms like, Sheng Zhen Healing, and standing forms like, Heaven Nature Heart Mantra. The movements are easy to learn, and quickly provide great benefits to students.
No mats or cushions are needed, as there are chairs we can use for seated forms in the room. Simply wear comfortable clothing that stretches.
Please be mindful of everyone’s health when attending class. We have a large, open indoor spaces for practicing, and we keep at least 6 ft. of personal space around us so we can move. Please feel free to wear a mask, though they are not required at this time. Of course, please do not attend if you are feeling sick.
All classes are FREE, with the encouragement to show gratitude by donating to either of these organizations:
