The next Dances with Qi*Energy (dance and qigong) event is from 4 to 6 p.m. on February 15 at Trunks Up! Yoga and Wellness Center, in Burlington, with Harlene Goldschmidt, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist for more than 35 years who is also a certified qigong teacher/healer and dance educator.

This winter gathering is part of a quarterly seasonal series that helps us live in greater harmony with ourselves as we transition throughout the year. Winter is a time to set down deeper roots and collect and store energy to be used later as spring and summer arrive. 

Dances with Qi*Energy gives us ways to raise our spirits; energize our bodies; and enjoy smooth, safe, heartfelt movements. Beginning with seated, selected qigong meditations, attendees then flow into guided-imagery dance movements. The movement becomes the medicine.

Goldschmidt has taught at The Juilliard School, Atlantic Health Medical Center, Montclair State University, New Jersey Dance Theatre Ensemble, and with other clinical and creative organizations. She has a private psychotherapy practice in Warren and is a supervising and training psychoanalyst with Center for Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis of New Jersey and the Chinese American Psychoanalytic Alliance.
