A Restorative Event at Keyani
On Friday, June 27th, we had the pleasure of hosting an incredible event in collaboration with Keyani and Letizia Silvestri of Altha. This event, the first of its kind for Zen Shaolin, featured a grounding Qigong session led by Master Can, followed by a deeply meditative sound healing session, led by Letizia. Together, these practices came together for a powerful holistic experience, serving to prepare participants both physically and mentally for a total release of tension and stress.
Qigong, an ancient practice stemming from Traditional Chinese Medicine, is centered around fortifying internal strength, improving Qi flow, and protecting the practitioner from negative energy.
Sound healing is an incredible therapeutic technique that uses singing bowls and other instruments at various frequencies to relax the nervous system and help participants rediscover their center.

Stepping into Keyani’s stunning studio venue was like stepping out of busy city life and into a private sanctuary. We started our event by welcoming all of our guests into this space, greeting participants and introducing ourselves and the practices they would be participating in.
Once everyone was settled, Master Can began guiding participants through Qigong movements, specially curated to help release excess and negative energy, to make way for a fresh perspective. As Master Can led the group, Letizia skillfully supplemented the movement meditation with vibrational frequencies that helped guide participants into a deeper state of relaxation.

As our Qigong session drew to a close, Master Can instructed everyone to lie down and get comfortable, preparing for a restorative sound bath.
As everyone settled down onto their yoga mats, Letizia initiated her signature sound bath experience, blending the use of sound healing instruments with a verbal guided meditation, drawing guests down into a serene state of deep consciousness. Participants were encouraged to let go of anything they were clinging to, letting their thoughts and feelings flow over them like water. As the session slowly transitioned to silent meditation, the room was filled with a palpable calm and sense of peace.
When the meditation session was drawing to a close, participants were gradually invited to reopen their eyes and ground themselves, readjusting to the world around them with a newfound sense of peace. As the group found their way back, Master Can prepared a special blend of caffeine-free tea, which was then shared by the group, providing space to relax, adjust, and discuss, asking Master Can and Letizia anything they were curious about.
As we said goodbye at the end of the night, we noticed a refreshed and revitalized energy, and many expressed how much more relaxed and balanced they felt.
Our restorative Qigong and Sound Healing event was a pleasure to host and participate in, and left us feeling recharged and grateful for the experience. Thank you to Letizia for the wonderful opportunity to collaborate, and to Keyani, for the privilege of using their beautiful, serene space. We appreciate everyone who joined our event, and we hope to see you at our next!
