Join us for a rejuvenating Mindfulness and Qigong Day, where you can immerse yourself in the calming practices of mindfulness and the gentle movements of Qigong. This event is designed to help you reconnect with the resilience of your inner self, reduce the accumulated stress of everyday life, and enhance your overall well-being. Through guided sessions, you will learn approaches and skills to cultivate awareness and balance, reducing the tensions of the body, find restorative stillness and easeful alignment with the mind, befriend and release anxiety with compassion and kindfulness, and creat the spacious awareness you need to feel restored and grounded. Whether you are a beginner or have experience, this day promises to be a nurturing space for all.

Breathworks Mindfulness Teacher and Registered Nurse.
I have been a Mindfulness Practitioner and Teacher for many years, sharing with
many people and communities mindful skills and practical tools to use in daily life,
building greater resilience and growing our well being. The skill of being mindful,
open and aware to each moment and what it offers, is perfectly found and learnt,
in the abundance of the moment within our environment and in Nature.
Marsha Arnold
Awena Retreat, Qigong Instructor
Marsha began teaching Qigong as a way of sharing practices that restore the body’s natural harmony. I will be sharing the ancient Chinese Practice that uses gentle movement, breath and awareness to support balance in both body and mind. It is based on the understanding that we are part of Nature, and that health comes from working with the body’s natural rhythms rather than forcing or pushing.
