Qigong classes

Nature Coast Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is offering Qigong-Mindful Movement classes on Wednesdays, 3 PM, at 7633 N. Florida Ave. Citrus Springs.

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong) is similar to a moving meditation. This ancient practice consists of gentle movement patterns, breath awareness, and a focused mindset designed to enhance vitality, deepen inner connection, and create space for your highest potential.

By gently moving stagnant Qi (life force energy) you can release blockages and feel balanced with effortless effort !

Our teacher, Alicia Martinez, is a Qigong Associate instructor as well as certified Yoga Instructor for adults and children.

Come join us for this weekly practice. No experience is required and instructor will provide modifications if needed.

Religious and Spiritual Exploration … Meeting notice!

As we begin Fall of 2025 let’s do some reflections and mental explorations. Don Wright loaned me some magazines over the August break, and upon perusal I came across a short article, “The Power of a Quiet Life”, by Lewis Richmond. It is an excerpt from his book, “Aging as a Spiritual Practice”. I thought I, and maybe all of us could relate to that. Join me on Sept 15th, that’s Monday, @ 3PM, to share our spiritual practice and how it relates to aging. We all have something to share, something to learn.
