Within its vast depths, we find reflection, restoration, and renewal. This quiet, yet powerful element helps us to conserve our vital essence and replenish our energy reserves.Restoring Vitality through the Winter monthsIn the natural world, winter is a season of rest, retreat, and rejuvenation.Yet for many of us, it becomes one of the busiest and most demanding times of the year. When we continue to push through the dark, cold months, we can find ourselves arriving in arriving at the lighter days of Spring feeling depleted. We may even risk burning out before the year has truly begun.This mini retreat is a chance to realign with nature’s natural rhythm, meaning that you can experience a deeply replenishing winter — one that restores your vitality and rekindles your zest for life.During this gentle morning you will:🌿 Move — Enjoy some winter themed Qigong including movements that are perfect for generating winter warmth as well as some more restful, flowing movements.💧 Learn — Deepen your understanding of the water element, its connection to winter, and learn some easy winter self-care practices that will help relieve (and perhaps even prevent!) common winter ailments such as colds, coughs, and fatigue.🌬️ Rest — Experience calming breathwork and guided meditations, welcoming deep rest to body and mind.🌸 Connect — Share a morning with like-minded souls, enjoy meaningful conversation, laughter, and connection.............................................................🕊️ Open to all!! — no experience of Qigong, meditation or other related practices is needed, just a willingness to arrive as you are and allow yourself to receive the gifts of transformative and restorative morning.Please note that one of the photos in this advert was taken during an outside summer practice.
