Rose Larisa Memorial Park

Saturday, July 11 | 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
This is the second of a monthly summer series in the park! Other dates TBA.
Similar to tai chi, qigong was developed as a healing art rather than a martial art and tends to be simpler to learn. It involves individual flowing movements that stretch and strengthen the body, ultimately putting us in touch with our vital energy (qi).&nbsp;Whether to naturally relieve or prevent pain, maintain wellbeing, or find deeper spiritual connection, qigong is beneficial.
Benefits of qigong:

Light of Hope

Saturday, July 25 | 10:00 to 11:30 a.m.
Developed as a healing art, qigong is a gentle yet empowering movement practice that strengthens your vital energy (qi). Similar to tai chi, it is usually practiced slowly while standing, but because it does not involve a specific sequence of movements it is simpler to learn. No experience needed.
Following qigong practice, we will settle onto the floor to learn a few self-acupressure points. (A couple chairs will be available if needed.) The workshop will conclude with a brief meditation, either seated or supine, in which acupressure will be offered. Bring a mat or blanket if you have one, and wear loose clothing.
This workshop will be led by Michelle Morisi, DACM, a practitioner of Chinese medicine and certified qigong instructor. Learn more about Michelle at<a href="https://acupuncturebymichelle.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> acupuncturebymichelle.com</a>.

"Oakland Beach has been staging its particular version of the Rhode Island summer evening for long enough that the surrounding Warwick neighborhood’s institutional memory of the celebration extends well past the operational tenure of any single parks-department administrator, and the annual fireworks display at the Oakland Beach Seawall on Thursday, July 3, 2026, at approximately 9 p.m. on Oakland Beach Avenue, constitutes the Narragansett Bay’s most specifically neighborhood-scale bayfront celebration in a waterfront setting whose seawall-and-bay geometry gives the fireworks their most consequentially reflective aquatic surface of any Washington or Kent County municipal display within the surrounding Rhode Island holiday calendar" <a href="https://www.lake.com/events/warwick-independence-day-fireworks/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">says Lake.com</a>.Photo: Shutterstock
