Daoism and The Martial Arts: What is Emptiness?

Scott Phillips will cover the latest research into these questions and more. What are the uses of emptiness? Why was emptiness sought after by generals, princes, actors, exorcists...? Could emptiness mean being really relaxed? Or could it refer to becoming a container? If so, a container for what? What is the difference between an empty body and an empty mind? Does qigong, yogic daoyin or tai chi help with this stuff? Is there more than one type of emptiness? Come join us!

Scott P. Phillips teaches traditional Chinese martial arts, which he began studying when we was 10 years old. Instead of summer-camp, his parents sent him to a Buddhist monastery. His life long study of history, spontaneity, and Daoism is a regular part of his teaching.
