Report on the 2007 European Workshops and Retreat:
Our deepest thanks to Petra and Cory Martinet-Rusch, and Frank and Elaine Hediger-Yap, for hosting us in 2007 for the Rubbo Art of Energy Workshops in Switzerland, and the Italian retreat. We had a full schedule, teaching at Petra's Tai Chi class, a free public healing, the Qigong workshops and the Chi Cultivation retreat, and many private healing appointments. We feel truly blessed to have such gifted students devoted to preserving and promoting these powerful, profound internal arts.
The focus of the work that we do, incorporated into the vehicles of Qigong, Tai Chi Chuan, Shao Lin Chuan and meditation, is teaching how to embody the "Bright Smile of Spontaneously Present Joy" for the benefit of oneself and all others, and some of our Swiss students shed tears after the workshops and the retreat, telling us how difficult it can be to be joyful, and to express joy. We are grateful to have the opportunity to allow them to feel their own joy, and look forward to continuing our work there next year.
