Oneness Calligraphy
TBA
Oneness Calligraphy is based on the rich culture of Chinese characters and language. It is written in one stroke to promote flow, strength, flexibility and lightness. It brings balance, calmness, beauty, focus, creativity and wellness to a child’s being and activates his/her potential and intelligence.
Seeing many amazing transformative results that practicing Oneness Calligraphy brings to people around the world, Chi-Xin is dedicated to helping children unlock their potential through writing the Oneness Calligraphy. As a certified Tao Song Practitioner and an accomplished pianist, she will incorporate the healing power of music to enhance learning.
