A three-day silent mindfulness and qi gong retreat led by Rachel Tobin
Mindfulness is the art of being present, right here, right now, to whatever is happening in each moment. In this retreat, we blend qi gong and mindfulness meditation, taking the time to pay attention to our actual experience as we sit and as we move. When we do this we feel more open, grounded and alive. No matter what is going on in our life, in our thoughts, or bodies, mindfulness offers the opportunity to genuinely relax, breathe and let go. Qi gong is a wonderful Taoist movement system designed to improve the flow of energy in the body, create vitality and concentrate the mind.
The retreat is suitable for beginners, and for those with experience in mindfulness meditation and/or qi gong.
We will begin with a meal at 6pm on Friday 20 November and finish after lunch on Monday 23 November
