Movement Intensive
GaiaFlow™ was created by John P. Milton in the 1980’s to provide a spontaneous, readily understandable and learnable way of unifying inner and outer Nature through sacred movement. This unique flowing form is also a dynamic style of moving meditation. GaiaFlow™ inspires your Union with all of Nature. You learn to allow inner inspiration to guide your dance of Union with Gaia. This sacred movement system also brings many healing benefits by balancing and strengthening your physical body, purifying and amplifying our energy, clearing your contracted emotions, and bringing both joy and tranquility to your mind and spirit. Ultimately, GaiaFlow™ can provide a path of inner development that leads to liberation through movement.
GaiaFlow™ integrates five levels of liberating movement: first, you learn and cultivate the core principles of Taoist movement and energy cultivation as expressed in T’ai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong; second, you explore and practice traditional peoples’ skills in tracking and stalking; third, you discover how to invoke the totemic beings of Nature, such as plants, animals, wind, water, stones and the spirits of Nature; fourth, you experience all perceptual form in movement as a continuum, then as a unified field no separation between inner and outer process. Finally, you follow all perceptions back into Source Awareness until GaiaFlow™ emerges in the pure expression of spontaneous, joyful flow as - the creative play of Source.
John teaches GaiaFlow™ over two and a half days, usually beginning with an introductory session on Friday evening (7-10 PM), followed by full days on Saturday (10 AM - 5 PM) and Sunday (10 AM - 4 PM). Anyone in normal health is welcome to “join the flow.” Please be sure to bring loose, comfortable clothing, leather moccasins or cotton-soled “tai chi” shoes, and bag lunches for Saturday and Sunday. Wherever possible, teaching and practice sessions will be held in natural places outdoors.
