Welcome to the last of the 5 Element seasonal retreat days which will be held throughout the year at our lovely location in North WalesThis day is open to and will have something for, all levels of experience and practice in this beautiful day of mindful movement
As we are in winter, this practice day will focus in more depth on the Water element and the fortification of Kidney energy and helping to resolve elements of fear and anxiety within the body.
The day will be split into 2 parts.
Jing, after introductions and tuning into the body and breath, the morning practice will focus more on the physical body, generating jing or physical essence. This is done through foundation-level exercises for joint opening, loosening the spine, connecting to LifeForce and experiencing the foundation standing and movement sets of LifeForce Qigong, along with a guided introduction to Microcosmic Orbit breathing and the completion practices of patting and dredging.
Qi, the afternoon practice, will focus more on the emotional energy of the 5 element organs. We will use the practice to loosen and activate, flush and cleanse, circulate and direct, enhance and energise and integrate and regulate the energies of the 5 Element Organs. We will then take extended practice with the water element and kidney energies to work in harmony with the season with deeper meditations and practices.
Cost for the day will be £55 per person
