Welcome…:)

Retreat dates : 27th-30th Oct 2022

This is an invitation to join me for a nourishing Chi Kung Retreat that is designed to teach techniques to help still the mind, and attain deeper levels of health. You will learn moves and meditations that, with practice, will help you increase your energy reserves, and orientate you to a deeper awareness and presence in the universal space.

This particular Retreat has an additional focus on learning healing skills to help others, by learning moves that will encourage their chi flow to move more freely. This leads to greater consciousness and health. See below for further details.

NOTE: I am offering a 20% early bird discount until 28th Sept, if you wish to book & pay in full by then. Please see the end of this page for Retreat cost and payment details.

Please let me know asap if you are planning to join this Retreat, so I can reserve your place 

This Retreat is open to all – no previous experience required, it is about learning techniques you can do at home to stay healthy.

What is Chi Kung???

Chi Kung is the skilful practice of gathering, circulating, and harmonising one’s life-force energy.
Chi Kung is about feeling the moment as it is, and the power of tuning into your body awareness. By slowing down movement and mind, you will start to perceive subtle meridian flows, and deep reservoirs of energy in the body.
There is a natural self-balancing that happens without thought or action, when you are moved from a place of stillness into the motion of your life force. This happens when you allow yourself to be unfettered by a busy mind, and come back into awareness of the entirety of the moment as it is.

Taking the time meet yourself in this way, reconnects you to the abundance of being in tune with, and part of, nature.

What is This Retreat About???

This Retreat has an emphasis on creating a very powerful connection to your Chi Field, which centres you, and orientates your ‘presence’ to a much larger context.  We will be exploring how to broaden our awareness to a much wider dynamic of the Universal Chi field and all of it’s rich qualities.  Then bringing that awareness into harmonious relationship with the Internal Chi of the body. So a deep Yin/Yang balancing occurs between the subtle spaces of Internal and External Fields of Perception.

The Dantians, and the Micro and Macrocosmic orbits are all places where Chi is stored/expressed.

The word Dantian translates to ‘Sea of Bliss’. They are also centres of gravity in the body, as well as being potent reservoirs of chi. The clearer the flow between these reservoirs, and space around (the Universal Chi field), the greater the health of the body, mind, and spirit.

** Learning Chi Kung Healing techniques to support other people **

As we find a deeper orientation between ourselves and the Chi field, we then start to work in pairs to learn Chi Kung Healing techniques to help ‘Chi’ to flow more freely in others.  This is explored at two levels

1. SUPPORTING THE BODY – HELPING CHI FLOW IN THE ORGANS
   – specific nourishment of key TCM organs ie the heart, pancreas, lungs,
      kidneys, and liver.
2. DEEPLY NOURISHING THE MAJOR ENERGY / CHI RESERVOIRS
   – by encouraging Chi to flow more freely around the Extraordinary Meridians, in particular the Central Channels – connecting Du & Ren Channels with Microcosmic Orbit, & Chong Mai forms, as well as forms to support the Girdle Channel, and relationship to the Chi field.

Additional Info

At the end of the Retreat we will put together or share a video of the moves, so you can continue resourcing yourself at home 🙂

Note: There are a series of 10 standalone Retreats covering the 5 Elements, Dragon Chi Kung, & Internal alchemy. Completion of all ten Retreats and associated homestudy lead to the qualification of Elemental Chi Kung Teaching Certification. Or each workshop can be enjoyed standalone. see past event details on facebook ChiKungForAll for overview of each Retreat.

Note: It is best to spend the 4 days deepening into the resourcing space created to fully reconnect to the Chi in and around you. However if you are only able to make 3 days that maybe possible to accomodate, please contact Denise to discuss.

Note: the course is subject to minimum and maximum numbers.
