Join us and practice Nei Qigong (Internal Qigong).  With a  blend of gentle movements and relaxed meditation, this ancient practice is very effective for helping both the body and mind.  Unlike gym classes or jogging where people merely spend “fuel”, the ancient arts like Qigong and Yoga are so well-balanced that you can generate Qi, or life-force energy, and retain a surplus of this energy after the exercise is finished (more than you began with!) This helps people remain in superior health.  C …

The final step is to enjoy the produce and to try new recipes that unlock the delicious flavors and benefits of local produce! Ort Farms has created a sys …
