What Is Qigong? A Retreat of Learning and Practicing (in-person)
Presenter: Pennie Pries
Give yourself a break from the holiday rush.
Meets Friday, 6:30-8:30 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
Learn how you can slow down and find calm in this hectic season through qigong.
Have you wondered …
Where did this ancient practice come from? What are some of the various styles of qigong? What is "qi"? For that matter, what does "gong" mean? Can I even physically do the exercises found in qigong? How is qigong different from other exercise programs? How will qigong help me, and what are its benefits? It seems like it moves so slowly; don’t I have to move fast to get healthier? Most important, can this practice help calm my nerves, get me to slow down, be present with others and not stressed out about the future? What are "meridians" and "tan tiens"? Can these movements help relieve some of my stiffness and pain?
You'll find the answer to these questions and more during this weekend retreat.
We'll explore the history, main styles and basic principles of qigong, a Chinese mind-body practice that combines slow, gentle movements, deep breathing and meditation to balance life energy. Pennie will lead you in a variety of qigong movements.
Whether you are brand new to qigong or have been practicing it already, this retreat will help raise your level of understanding and is suitable for all physical abilities. All movements can be modified or done while seated.
Investment:
OVERNIGHT: $190, includes private bedroom, breakfast and lunch on Saturday
COMMUTER: $110, includes lunch on Saturday
