The Swimming Dragon form originates from the Wudang mountains of China.
The form emulates the movements of the water dragon, which are slow, smooth, continuous, twisting, stretching and coiling.
The form stretches and strengthens all the joints, tendons and ligaments of the body, massages the organs, and stimulates circulation.
I am most stoked to announce the humble beginnings of the Original Condition podcast. This is an episode with Simon Borg-Olivier about living a fulfilled life, acknowledging and creating connection, approaching the obstacles of life with humility, letting go of self-defeating narratives, and the history, origins & connections between traditional practices and modern science.

Innisfree is the tale of Dave Gardner & Eve Gutter (with featured artists and friends such as Guy Buttery). This EP is called 'Empire Unbecoming' and is mostly improvised sound collage of spoken word, harmonies & melodies, acoustic guitars, birds & insects, wind & water, and possibly our favorite - a synthesizer app played on a phone through a Bluetooth speaker being recorded on another phone.
Having been able to embrace the hard lockdown of 2020
in abundant wilderness, Innisfree hopes to encapsulate the bright light that is around every corner of darkness, casting its shadow onto the ground we must walk if we are to embody peace and freedom. Listen on Spotify here.
