About this event
Qi Gong 5 Element Retreat Day with Angelic Sound
An Invitation to Transformation
The air is heavy, the roses are blooming, and we are ready to embrace the energy of summer. Step into Moonrise Studio, a beautifully restored 200-year-old stable, surrounded by the lush gardens of the Yorkshire village of Huby. Join us for a journey into QiGong, an ancient moving medicine, as we connect with like-minded souls and align ourselves with the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
What to Expect:
Morning- Learning and Practicing
Settle in with a warming cup of tea and a refreshing ginger shot before gathering in our sharing circle. Our journey begins with a Five Element Diagnosis, a self-discovery questionnaire to help unveil your dominant element—Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, or Metal. Understanding your elemental constitution offers profound insight into your emotions, behaviours, and which organ systems need nourishment for optimal well-being.
Next, we flow into our 5 Element QiGong practice, guided by experienced instructors Deirdre and Ava. These gentle yet powerful movements will help balance and strengthen the vital organs—Heart, Spleen, Lungs, Kidneys, and Liver—enhancing physical, mental, and emotional harmony. You’ll leave empowered with practical techniques to integrate QiGong into your daily life.
- Plant Based Lunch
Afternoon - Integration and Relaxing
- Energetic Tiger Walk and final 5 Element Full set practice. Let's ensure that we know these moves so well that we can integrate them into our daily lives whenever we need to.
- Singing Bowl Meditation & Ceremonial Cacao Offering We conclude the day with a deeply grounding singing bowl meditation, followed by a ceremonial cacao offering—a heart-opening practice that fosters gratitude and integration.
- Sharing circle
