Water Element Immersion of the Warrior Priestess Way: Qigong, Tea, and Sword Ceremonial Practice

From the Waters of Life we are born and to that vast void of Oneness we will return. And so it is that we call on the Water element during this winter season, for its unifying, replenishing, and strengthening medicine. May we be illuminated with Water wisdom to declare, with not only belief but absolute certainty: I am whole and healed, in this very moment, forever.

Gather with us in practice, to stir the Jing—fortifying, maintaining, and reserving the creative essence—and to nourish the Gate of Life in the cultivation of inner resiliency and longevity.

We are those who hold the moon and grip the sword as one act. We are the Warrior Priestesses, womxn connected by the common thread of Discipline and Grace, Strength and Compassion, Fierceness and Beauty.

As is now tradition, we’ll open and close the day in Tea Ceremony— still, silent, and listening with all our senses to the water pouring, filling the sacred vessel, emptying into the Self.

We take the rest of the day to move. We’ll practice Qigong as medicine— forms specifically chosen for each woman present—a tool to be used on your path as a Warrior Priestess. Through Eagle Claw sword form we will learn to wield and respect the Sword as a spiritual tool, cutting away what no longer serves.

This Immersion is held with impeccable intention, for womxn who wish to receive the medicine of the body in harmonious tandem with the medicine of the Leaf, all under the guidance of the five elements. It is our intention to create an intimate, focused environment to facilitate deep movement— both internal and external.

Seats are limited.
