Details

Welcome to the first of the 5 Element retreat days which will be held throughout the year from our fabulous location in North Wales.

This 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 Spring, this practice day will focus in more depth on the Wood element and the fortification of Liver energy and helping to resolve elements of Anger & Frustration 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 energetics 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 wood element and Liver energies to work in harmony with the season with deeper meditations and practices.

Please wear suitable clothing for activity and it is suggested you layer up to help with changes in body temperature.
