About this Event

Qi Gong is a mindful movement practice where we work with our life-force energy to help feel less stressed, more energised, and in greater harmony with ourselves, others and with the rest of nature. Qi Gong has ancient roots and is based on Taoist philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine theory.

This workshop will cover:

• Introduction to Taoist philosophy: Wu Wei or effortless action

• Qi Gong practice and meditation

• Readings from Tao te Ching and other texts
