Course Details

Qigong/Tai Chi Retreat Saturday 26th April  10am-1.30pm  ​Join me and thousands more around the world to celebrate World Tai Chi and Qigong Day! An opportunity to engage in beautiful and nourishing practices to support ourselves, and explore the ancient meditative movement Forms of Tai Chi and Qigong. Springtime is associated with the Wood element in traditional Chinese medicine. It can be a wonderful time of year to try new practices and to welcome the qualities of expansion, flexibility, strength, clarity, health and enthusiasm. The workshop will include movements from both the Qigong and Tai Chi traditions, as well as embracing the opportunity to practice together,  enjoy community, and learn some new Forms to take home. The Retreat will offer some time out of our normal routine to ground and centre, to learn some beautiful movements, and perhaps more importantly, to allow the body, mind and heart to rest, relax and self-regulate.  Snacks & refreshments included. Weather permitting, some of the workshop may take place outdoors.
