Welcome to Autumn

Days grow shorter, and the breeze cools. Leaves crunch beneath our feet, and sunlight subtly shifts with the season change. Breathe in, relax. Sense Autumn's transitional crispness.

Sign-up today for TCF's White Crane Breathing gentle qigong series. In this 28-day practice, you become the White Crane — experiencing the intake of the heavens with your breath, fortifying your defensive qi, enhancing your well-being, and attuning to the Metal element, all from the comfort of your home.

Just as trees release their leaves, Autumn is ideal for clearing the mind, letting go, cultivating creativity, agility, and calm while exploring our inner balance.

Dedicate a little time each day for four weeks and discover how much more relaxed, centered, and in tune with nature you can feel.
