Autumn is a season of release, reflection, and renewal. In Chinese Medicine, it is associated with the Metal element and with the lungs and large intestine, systems connected with breath, elimination, and resilience.
Across four weeks, Kaleo and Elise Ching will guide participants through Spiraling Dragon Qigong, breathing practices, acupressure points, and meridian work designed to support vitality, respiration, digestion, mental clarity, and overall well-being.
Each session will also make space for “haiku moments,” those brief flashes of attention, beauty, and insight that can arise through Qigong and the changing season. Participants will be invited to shape these moments into the simple three-line form of haiku.
The course is experiential and accessible. Some movement is involved, but most of the Qigong practices can also be done seated.
Help Someone Attend Autumn Qigong & Haiku
CSC is creating a sponsored enrollment fund to help make Autumn Qigong & Haiku available to people who may not otherwise be able to participate.
Your contribution can help cover part or all of another student’s registration cost. Choose the amount that works for you:
$25 contributes toward a student’s enrollment
$50 provides significant support toward enrollment
$125 sponsors two full registration
Custom Amount allows you to give at another level
Contributions will be combined into a shared fund and used to provide sponsored enrollments based on the amount raised and the requests received.
Request Sponsored Enrollment
Cost should not be the only reason someone is unable to participate.
Those who need financial assistance may request a partially or fully sponsored enrollment. Requests will be reviewed closer to the beginning of the course, based on available funds.
You do not need to provide extensive financial information. We simply ask you to tell us briefly why assistance would make it possible for you to attend.
How the Sponsorship Fund Works
Contributions are collected specifically to support enrollment in Autumn Qigong & Haiku.
Sponsored enrollments will be awarded based on available funding.
Assistance may cover part or all of the registration price.
If more funding is received than is needed for this course, CSC will apply the remainder to the general scholarship fund.
