Expand your self-care practice with this unique online experience blending Tai Chi, intuitive music, art, nature, and intentional tea rituals. Symphony of Radiance brings together seated and standing forms inspired by Master Moy Lin Shin—including the 108 Moving Meditation, Sabre, and Lok Hup—to open blocked pathways, increase mobility, support circulation and lymph flow, and cultivate whole-body wellbeing. This series is ideal for beginners, those returning to practice, or anyone navigating pain, stiffness, or low energy.

Dr. Michelle Greenwell, CIH BioEW, guides you through posture power, integrative movement patterns, and the BioEnergetic Wellness Formula to support daily habits grounded in vitality and resilience. Intuitive musician Colin MacLeod of Scotland offers live soundscapes crafted in the moment to deepen inner awareness and accelerate transformation.

A remarkable creative team enriches the journey each week:

• Donna Hutchison – Harpist and wellness practitioner drawing from music therapy and vibrational healing

• Brenda Bowen Cox – Musical therapist with deep experience in neonatal, hospice, and palliative care

• Marian Egan – Energetic artist capturing class frequencies in symbolic, healing-infused artwork

• Tanya Levy – Nature photographer offering grounding images to connect you to the rhythms of Mother Nature

This series is framed through the Five Element Theory, exploring Ko and Shen cycles and nurturing new patterns of wellbeing through movement, sound, and imagery. You can find this information in the Touch for Health knowledge.

As a special addition, the Cape Breton Tea Company will host a Tea with Intention segment each week. Participants may purchase:

• The full set of teas and companion book for the complete experience, or

• A sample set of weekly teas to enjoy during class

No experience is necessary. Seated and standing options are available, and gentle 40% effort is encouraged for those with pain, injury, or low energy.

Join us for this life-expanding journey into movement, sound, art, nature, and intentional nourishment—a guided pathway to clarity, resilience, and inner radiance.

Dr Michelle Greenwell will highlight setting up your day for success through awareness, intention, posture power and integrative movement patterns using special exercises, Tai Chi patterns, and movement ideas.  She is joined by doctoral student, and intuitive musician extraordinaire, Colin MacLeod of Scotland who will be playing intuitively to the group and with the exercises to maximize the speed and agility of your transformation from chronic pain, stiff joints, and lower energy into vitality and resiliency.  Dr Greenwell will share the BioEnergetic Wellness Formula for successful daily habits, and together you will be empowered to engage in a wellness plan that meets you where your needs are and what you need to be inspired.

No experience is necessary.  Seated and standing options for movement will be offered.  This special group will grow in skill as you are nurtured for your personal needs and goals.

Course dates:  Tuesdays 12 pm Atlantic, 8 am Pacific, 4 pm UK.  September 9, 16, 23, 30, Oct 7, 14, 21, 28, Nov 4, 18, 25, Dec 2 (no class on Remembrance Day Nov 11).

The original course was offered in the spring of 2025 with great success and insights and you are welcome to purchase this special series as an adjunct to this course, however, it is not a pre-requisite.

In our first series we explored movement through the award-winning program for Unwinding Trauma, created by Tanya Levy, Michelle and Colin and presented in Tenerife, Spain and San Diego, USA.  In this series we will be exploring the Essence of the Spine and its relationship to sound, muscles, and whole body movement. We will continue our exploration of the sequences in the 108 Moving Meditation by Master Moy Lin Shin, both seated and standing, as well as some special patterns from Sabre and Lok Hup. Each set brings us deeper into the tissue and organs of the body to improve circulation, lymph flow, joint mobility, clear minds, and building energy. Our special focus each week is to help you gain experience with being grounded, finding your heart center, opening your mind to new ideas, and transforming your life into vitality and resiliency.

If you have never taken Tai Chi before, this is a great starting place. If you have never done the Seated Form of Tai Chi, this will be a great introduction.  If you have movement challenges, this will provide you with the space to adjust as you need.  If you have pain, an injury, or low energy, we recommend that you do everything at 40% effort, small and light.  With time you will find your energy grow and you will be able to ease into the exercises as you learn about your internal mechanics of moving.

Thank you for signing up for this life-expanding course.  We are looking forward to meeting you.
