Twenty years of coteaching in San Francisco Bay Area (JFKU Arts and Consciousness Program, jail psychiatric unit, public schools, and other venues) and beyond have convinced Kaleo and Elise that the Muse resides in everyone.
In their classes, participants learn Chi Kung to engage the chakras and access the energy body, then experience guided imagery to explore the mysteries of inner realms, then express their discoveries through mixed media art. The result is creative expression that emanates from profound personal depths and bridges the realms of spirit, mind, and body.
Kaleo also teaches Qigong and has a massage/hypnotherapy practice.
Elise is an award-winning poet and Registered Nurse.

Kaleo, together with his wife, Elise Ching holds the most powerful, most freeing, most safe, most sacred space for full and free creative expression. Through art, writing, poetry, and movement inspired by and grounded in the awakenings arising from decades of their own evolutionary brand of yoga and Chi Kung, the Chings offer a rich and beautiful space for deepening in self awareness, the influence and participation of ancestors, the healing power and presence of totem animals, the importance of a vibrant, fully flowing, fully expressed human universe of body. These teachers, grounded in Ohana and Abundance offer a FEAST of art supplies, a wealth of knowledge, a deep sense of inner knowing, a cultivated awareness of guided imagery and its powers to plug the individual into their own spiritual network of support. There is no space I have ever been held in that feels as safe, as freeing, as accepting and as celebratory. I encourage you to partake of the feast of healing that is time with Kaleo and Elise Ching. They are master teachers. Don't miss your opportunity to be in the energy they hold.
