About Patricia Sullivan
One of our most favorite teachers ever. Patricia so generously and quietly shares her direct experience of the practice. She offers tender details and allows the space for you to investigate within. Spontaneous, vulnerable and continually open to what is freshest, she models a style of teaching that has no need for false authority.
About John Hickey
John Hickey is Lulu Bandha's Doctor of Chinese Medicine. We have been working with him for over a year at his private Shiatsu Rincon practice and know our selves much more deeply and intimately because of his love, care, wisdom and generosity. John founded the Santa Barbara School for Acupuncture. His style looks to the more ancient teachings before Communism removed the feminine from the medicine.

A Weekend Immersion with Patricia Sullivan and John Hickey
Dates: Friday, March 9 - Sunday, March 11
"A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." - Lao Tzu
About the Workshop
Our weekend together is an experiment in present freshness. Both John and Patricia have the capacity as teachers and human beings to show up and spontaneously respond to what is present. We have asked them to teach together to find out if in collaboration we might all together practice this fearless style of investigation.
Playing with the arts of yoga and qi gong, we hope to cultivate a more intimate connection with the flow of prana or qi to increase our confidence in responding appropriately to the moment.
We are canceling regular classes to give this tender beginning room to unfold and bloom. We so hope you will join us. Our Schedule

More Details
Patricia's Approach to the Yoga Practice
Patricia will assist us in tuning towards the subtle currents of the Qi or Prana within our yoga practice to assist in the cultivation of mindfulness within the body. Our movements will radiate from the center and respond appropriately to what is rising as oppose to a pre-conditioned notion.
Patricia usually incorporates chanting and meditation within her workshops. Her intimate style of teaching allows a large variety of practices to participate.
John Hickey's Qi Gong Foundations
This will be a class to introduce the practice of Qi Gong. Being an introduction the practical portion will focus around establishing the foundation. But also we will include a sampling of postures to have an experience of various Qi Gong forms.
The lecture portion will present the components of a Qi Gong practice and the transformations of Jing (Essence) to QI and Qi to Shen (Spirit) as rooted in the model of acupuncture energetics. This is self cultivation through the acupuncture channels, the pathways, or Dao of our human life.
Practice will be drawn from the following forms:
- Embracing the Tree
- Eight Pieces of Brocade
- Selected Tai Ji Quan postures
Cost:
