Art and Qigong for Healing 2023| An International Women’s Day Gathering
Feb 19, 2023
Seattle-Isfahan Sister City Advocacy @seattleisfahan, Peyvand Artists Group @peyvandartistsgroup & Women For Cultural Wisdom (WCW) @drsonia.qiway invite you to come together for a peaceful gathering to learn how to cultivate your own energy to #heal and find balance through a guided #Qigong practice, followed by nutritional guidance based on “food wisdom,” both presented by Qigong Master and Founder of WCW, Dr. Sonia Ghaemi. Dr. Sonia brings more than three decades of experience in women’s empowerment and the cultivation of women's health educators to communities in Iran and the United States.
The body nourished, we will turn to the heart and mind, creating art together with a focus on International Women’s Day.
We are taking this opportunity to celebrate women while we have Dr. Sonia in town. Coupled with guidance from our local Iranian-American artist community, we seek to provide a safe and peaceful space to learn and grow. Join us!
