Organizer: New York Insight Meditation Center

Event schedule: December 5, 2026 at 10:00 AM -05:00

Admission: Paid admission; consult organizer for ticket pricing

New York Insight Meditation Center offers a hybrid half-day workshop with Chia-Ti Chiu exploring somatic movement and personal responses to difficult emotions. The session is described as an opportunity to notice what is happening in the body and to work with feelings through movement, reflection and attention. It does not claim that a particular participant will be healed or that the program is clinical treatment.

Session focus
The organizer states that participants will explore movement using qigong elements associated with Fire, Water and Metal. Activities can be performed seated or standing and adjusted to a person's range of motion. The program also includes active listening, journaling and meditation to support reflection after the movement practices.

What participants can explore
Chia-Ti Chiu is named as the teacher. Her official event biography describes work across yoga, qigong, somatics and resilience-focused learning. The registration page specifically provides separate online and in-person access options. Participants can choose online attendance or visit the Manhattan venue.

Who should attend
This workshop may be relevant to adults interested in embodied awareness, mindful movement and practical reflection. The organizer emphasizes accessibility through movement modifications, but individuals should review the full course information and determine whether it suits their situation. No guaranteed mental-health or physical-health outcome should be inferred.
