Meet Matt Currie & Ness Klohn at the 7th Annual Balance Festival!
Returning for their 4th consecutive year, Master Matt Currie and Instructor-in-Training Ness Klohn from Lonewolf Martial Arts bring an empowering, biomechanical approach to mindful movement.
At Lonewolf, movement is governed by a core maxim: Precision over Power. Qi Gong—often called the grandfather of Chinese medicine and the internal root of traditional martial arts—releases deep-seated physical tension and restores equilibrium to the nervous system. With over three decades of martial arts training and a quarter-century of experience instructing and performing, Matt, alongside Ness, guides participants through an accessible practice that balances the mind while teaching the body to move with effortless strength. By synchronizing your center of mass with gravity and breath, participants will discover that true, unified power is born from rotation and harmony.
The Weekend Lineup (1:00 PM Daily – Outside Tent):
Saturday: Kinetic Stillness & Somatic Sovereignty Learn the fundamentals of mindful breathwork, structural alignment, and core therapeutic postures. Discover how fluid, continuous movement calms internal stress while naturally establishing physical stability, grounding, and effortless boundary awareness. We will explore the biomechanics of kinetic boundary enforcement, proving that internal calm creates an unshakeable center capable of deflecting external stress without relying on tension.
Sunday: Dynamic Flow & the Biofeedback of the Taiji Fan Build upon your movement practice with the traditional mirrored sequence, expanding into the graceful, dynamic flow of Taiji fans. Used historically for spatial management, the fan acts as an auditory biofeedback tool—its crisp snap confirming exactly when your breath, alignment, and kinetic intention are perfectly synchronized. Participants will explore how circular, wave-like motions clear stagnant energy and create a powerful perimeter of personal protection. (Note: Fans will be provided for the duration of the workshop).
No mats, prior experience, or equipment are required—all movements can be modified for any comfort or mobility level. Stepping onto the path of internal cultivation requires the bravery to begin, and it only takes courage to begin.
Come move, breathe, and find your center at the lake!
