QiGong (Chi Gung or Chi Kung) & Longevity Breathing Retreat at Pines Calyx St Maragarets Bay Dover Kent England UK

Come and join us at the beautiful Pines Calyx for a day of relaxation and gentle exercise.

QiGong (also known as Chi Kung) is a gentle, yet powerful, method of relaxing physically and mentally, healing the body and mind, and building energy. Whatever your mind, body or spirit are in need of right now, QiGong can offer you a way to healing and wellbeing.

Throughout the day we will learn gentle QiGong exercises from the Dragon & Tiger Medical QiGong set. This 1500 year old energy practice balances the energy of the acupuncture meridians and clears out energy blockages in your system. These exercises boost the immune system and raise energy levels. In this way, QiGong promotes health, vitality and relaxation.

We will also get an introduction to Daoist Longevity Breathing. This is a breathing practice in which you will learn to deepen, slow down and soften your breathing and begin to internally soften and massage the internal organs. In this way we learn to use the breath to let go of stress and tension.

These practices are an excellent way to counteract the stresses caused by living in a fast paced, mind-dominated society. They encourage the mind and body to work as one and to become balanced and settled.

Our teacher is Dave Willis, an experienced QiGong teacher and advanced student of one of the most influential QiGong masters in the western hemisphere, Master Bruce Frantzis.

We will spend our day in the Upper Roundel of the beautiful Pines Calyx. You will need to wear loose clothing and flat shoes, such as trainers or plimsolls.

Cost is £65 per person and includes a delicious home-made lunch with gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options if required.
