Qi Gong to mark the autumn equinox
Sept
21

Qi Gong to mark the autumn equinox

Rowana would love to invite you on a Qigong journey celebrating the Autumn Equinox with Qi Gong flows and Tai Chi walking!

The Autumnal Equinox embodies the essence of balance in the natural world - the magical and unsettling transition from Summer to Autumn. Both the circadian and seasonal balance present during this time reflects the balance between Yin and Yang energy. This balance is vital for our overall wellbeing.

On our journey we will be exploring through Qigong how to harness the treasures of The Autumn Equinox to cultivate balance in our everyday lives.

This is an ideal opportunity to experience the magic of Qigong for everyone.

Please contact Rowana for any enquiries or to book your place. £10 for non-members of Wilderness Wood and £8.00 for members.
