As part of our commitment to the five training elements of Jun Po Roshi, we offer a regular Qi Gong program as our Conscious Embodiment practice. Qi Gong practices are gentle stretches and breathing techniques that stimulate the immune system, strengthen internal organs, and increase energy levels in general. Various types of Qi Gong are offered to improve balance, strengthen the body and improve circulation of qi/chi.

Enso Alberto Mendez
Ensō Alberto Mendez has cultivated a deep meditation practice since childhood, a habit born from those early experiences of time-out.
His 2019 diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis spurred a renewed commitment to his spiritual journey, leading him to Green Bay Zen Center and the guidance of Hollow Bones. A transformative Mondo Zen retreat solidified his path, and in 2022, he completed Mondo Zen Facilitator Training, joined the Juggalos in Recovery board, and began leading their meetings.
In 2023, he embarked on a New Warrior Training Adventure, embracing the brotherhood of the Man Kind Project. At the 2024 Rohatsu ceremony, he received Jukai from Hollow Bones, marking a significant milestone in his Zen journey.
Alongside his spiritual pursuits, Ensō has dedicated the past 20 years to the practice of Lima Lama martial arts and more recently, has delved into the study and practice of Qigong, further deepening his understanding of the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit.
