Upcoming event: Qi Gong & Guided Meditation for Self-Compassion
Welcome to January 2025! The temperatures may be dropping but the light is gradually returning and I’m grateful. But we still have a way to go so why not join Craig and I for our relaxing and illuminating Qi Gong & Meditation workshop circle on 26th January..
Let us calm your mind and help you feel nurtured and rejuvenated as we journey through the Winter. In a world that moves so fast, Winter is a time to slow down! Join us to release what doesn’t serve you and reconnect with your most compassionate self.
What to Expect
Qi Gong can be thought of as a study in the lost Art of Deep Relaxation. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Qi Gong is a holistic system of coordinated Breath work, Movement and Mindfulness.
The class will involve; Guided deep breathing to calm the nervous system, stretching to open the body's meridian channels to increase the flow of the body's natural energy, and a series of slow graceful movements to cultivate lightness and harmony in both body, mind and spirit.
Guided Meditation for self-compassion
Sophie will help you recognise and release the grip of your inner critic allowing you to open to self-love and self-kindness and experience profound inner peace and harmony. Her guided practice offers a safe and nurturing space to connect with your inner self, let go of judgment, and cultivate compassion.
We will begin and end in circle, a safe space to share and connect with others and foster a sense of belonging in our local community. We will finish with delicious cacao bites/mango bliss balls and herb tea..
Date & Time: Sunday 26 January 2-5pm
Location: Castel Douzaine Room
