It's been too long since I ran a Qigong workshop! It's wonderful--dare I say bordering on decadent?--to set aside a whole afternoon to focus on deliberate, slow, stretchy movement and meditation. What's amazing about Qigong in a workshop format is how body and mind respond to taking all the time we need to ease into our practice. Setting up ideal circumstances for our practice isn't always possible, but this is why workshop days are particularly nice.
The theme of this workshop will be relaxing the body while encouraging the mind to focus. We'll also be working with allowing the mind to flow as we do a trance journey meditation. This is a very special practice in which we allow our minds to present us with imagery as we listen to (prerecorded) drums. With Winter Solstice just a short time away, it's the perfect moment to go within and seek guidance for the season to come. Trance journey meditations are often profound and uplifting experiences that leave us energized and full of enthusiasm for what's to come.
For people who have experience with Qigong, this is going to be a great day to deepen your practice. For those who haven't done Qigong in a workshop context before, you're in for a treat.
