Qigong and Nature Retreat 2027

1st – 5th July 2027

Qigong connects us deeply with the Earth and the Elements. Animal Forms awaken Bird, Bear, Tiger, Deer, Turtle, Snake and Dragon within us. The Elements flow through our bodies, Water, Earth, Wood, Fire and Air. Qigong practice teaches us to open our senses and expand our perception: to feel and live into our real and embodied connection with all of Life.

On this retreat, in the beautiful ancient woodland of May Hill we will have time to engage deeply with the land around us: to sleep on the warm earth; to walk in the quiet woods; to breathe deeply of the clean air; to bathe in the fresh water, and to gather around the fire in community, as ancestors have done through all the generations.

We will use Qigong to help us, developing our practice with inspired and experienced teachers. Nature Connection practices and creativity will help us integrate learning and change and strengthen our relationship with ourselves, with each other and with Earth and all Her creatures.

Arriving on Thursday evening, we will have three full days to settle, deepen and transform, before leaving first thing Monday morning. The days will be filled with three Qigong Sessions, Nature Connection, Rest and Relaxation, Community and Creativity. There will be time for a trip to a nearby swimming lake for those who wish, and a walk to the top of May Hill to watch the sunset (or rise, for those who like an early start!). There will be time for shared reflection, shared food and shared ceremony as we bring ourselves fully into our work together and give gratitude to the Land for holding us.
