Autumn is the season of the Metal Element a time of contraction, harvesting and preparing for moving inwards. It is about discernment and letting go. Chi flow is noticeably strong through the Metal organs and meridians of the lungs and large intestines, which focus on purification, appreciation and elimination. Qigong practices can be especially powerful to assist in letting go of what no longer serves you, remembering what you are grateful for and to nourish a deeper connection to spirit. 

A day retreat is a perfect space in which to slow down, to focus on yourself, to reconnect and attune to your own rhythms. Ideal for those who are unable to attend weekly classes, also suitable for those who do weekly classes to go more in depth. 

This is an opportunity to go on a voyage of self-discovery and become aware of your wellbeing in this moment. Learn and experience how to nurture and nourish yourself to improve and enhance your wellbeing during Autumn. Also how to navigate the transition from the dwindling Late Summer energy, letting go, and preparing to for rest and stillness. 

Experience two immersive Qigong sessions to learn the movements that support general flow of chi (energy), as well as movements to enhance the lungs and large intestines the organs of Autumn. These can then become self-care practices for the season.   

Learn about self-care practices for seasonal wellness and happiness, these include aromatherapy, medicinal plants, seasonal foods and home decorating. 

Take time for exploring ways of managing emotions and developing ones virtues that align with the season, as well as setting seasonal intentions and visions.
