A Qigong Journey – Five Elements Unfold
May 1 @ 6:00 PM - May 3 @ 1:00 PM SAST
Qigong is a graceful healing art rooted in the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine. Through flowing movements, mindful postures, deep breathing and meditative focus, it nurtures the flow of Qi – our vital energy. By balancing and cultivating this life force, Qigong helps us tap into our inner vitality, thereby reducing stress, building stamina and enhancing overall well-being. It strengthens circulation, boosts immunity and fosters a profound sense of harmony.
During this weekend retreat, we will learn some basic qigong and gain insight into its relationship with Chinese medicine and the five elements. The course will offer simple and gentle, yet powerful ways to reconnect and balance body and mind through the practice of qigong.
