What: Nurobodi Qi Gong - ‘Drop in’ Sessions

Come & ground your spirit, clean your mind & body and radiate positive energy from the roots to the tips. We'll be diving into some really uplifting and restorative forms as well as some strength building and controlled deep breathing to focus and harness Qi. Wear loose fitting clothing and your water bottle.

Why: When we experience everyday stressors, we often accumulate areas of dense and blocked energy, which if unchecked and released can persist for weeks, months or decades and lead to disease. Nurobodi Qi Gong teaches simple (yet powerful) movement practices to help you release physical, emotional and mental blocks - eliminating daily (or accumulated) stress, rejuvenating your immune system, and improving your overall health. These techniques take time to master but a journey begins and continues, always one step at a time.

When: Tues April 9th and 16th 7:30pm - 9pm

Where: Autumn Retreat, Thornbury

Workshop Embodied Philosophies

Firstly, it is important to understand that in a Qi Gong practice context, there are three key Dantiens. In the Tao practice, we store energy in the Three Dantiens. The Three Dantiens correspond to the Three Minds, Upper, Middle and Lower. We will be focused mainly on the lower dantien and grounding or energy.

The Lower Dantien

The lower Dantien contains the Lower Mind and is associated with feeling and awareness. Within this universe or ocean, there is a fire, like a volcano under the ocean; In Qi Gong practice we call this ‘fire-under water’. It is the heart of the primordial alchemical awareness. The seed. This is where most of the practice will be focused. The Lower Dantien also houses a treasure of far-reaching significance; it is the site of our Second Brain. The Gut. The tunnels surrounding the energetic heart of the mountain.

Becoming more aware of your Dantiens can be seen as being a way to train primordial consciousness and awareness, likewise educating the brain in the abdominal area as a presence of heightened embodied wisdom.

"To be a spacious, grounded and present individual you need to create a grounded space to focus on developing your embodied presence."

Your investment for the workshops is on two levels:

1) Self Loving Discipline Investment - By embarking on this journey you are committing to prioritise a time and space for you to cultivate a deeper sense of mindbody presence and awareness, and to develop certain practices that are designed to help you do this along side others doing the same, supported by the guidance of an experienced sensei.

2) Financial Investment - $30 each for pre-booked per session or $50 for 2 sessions.

Pre-booking is essential.
