Sincerity Training: Bowing is a mind-body-spirit practice, not connected with any particular religion or dogma, but as a way to integrate the three bodies and communicate with our inner essence.  Bowing is about the development of internal and external grace.  It exists for self-reflection and is a conversation with our own true nature.  Bowing is also a low-impact, symmetrical exercise that produces a light cardio-vascular workout.  When practiced regularly, bowing helps maintain a sense of vitality, helps practitioners grow awareness of how energy works in the body and generates a more hopeful and positive outlook on life.  

Growing Your Soul Series: This drop-in series (For Finding Your True Self Grads) will provide the tools, guidance, support & environment to develop and sustain a connection to your True Self.  Sessions will include lecture on principles, physical exercise, energy practice, meditation, sharing and re-connecting with fellow practioners.
