Workshops 2012
Giving yourself a whole day allows you longer to sink into your Chi Kung experience and gives time for you to integrate and meditate. Chi Kung synergises well with many other healing methods and exercise techniques.
Chi Kung methods encourage you to tune in with all that supports you, so you can let go. Letting go of tension is always a good beginning for a Chi Kung or Tai Chi session, as then there is space to receive the fresh Chi, so you first of all, you take care of your inner self. From here, the energy supports us so we can be more fully present and learn to live in harmony and balance with those around us. We so often put ourselves last on the list, especially if we have a demanding family or job, or both! Finding time to truly resource you can in itself be a challenge. These workshops offer you the opportunity give yourself the consideration you deserve (others will benefit too!)
New Forest Chi Kung offers a variety of weekend workshops to give you the opportunity to expand your practice and experience.

The Wood element of the springtime brings in the liver detoxing action; sweeping you clean to prepare and initiate new ideas and generating the sustaining Chi required to bring them through. Olive green is our supporting colour here, which we can see from the hall at Boldre, reminding us of the freshness of new leaves, wide open spaces and hope for our ever evolving future. All elemental work requires a sturdy Earth connection, with detoxing also involving the Metal element and its eliminatery organs of the lungs, large intestine and skin...

30 May 3-DAY INTENSIVE RETREAT
Clearing ~ Balancing ~ Integrating
There are 3 sessions each day, 7.30-8.30am, 10.30-12.30 and 5-7pm
Dive into the intensity of a super-clear and mega regeneration time. Deeply let go and flush out, creating space to invite new vitality and core nourishment.
In each section the Earth element supports them all.
Clearing:
Water and Wood elements are employed as moving meditations to assist the natural detoxification process, cleansing your body and clearing your mind into a
ready space for your new ideas to grow.
Balancing:
Fire and Water encourage an internal equilibrium, accessing your inner strength and creative power.
Integrating:
Encouraging the elements to harmonise within you, producing an ultra calm and super aware state, where you can use all your
senses to make the right choices in your life.
Following the success of the recent 3 day intensive, we have redesigned the programme to include x2 more meals and a breakfast to allow time for the group to meet the night before and not have to dash off immediately afterwards. This makes the course slightly longer and therefore costs a little more than the one we ran last year, we feel this is worth it to give you a more complete experience.
Cost ~ £320/380euros including all meals and three nights board.
A 50% deposit is required by the 30th March.
5 ELEMENT RETREAT 19 - 25 August
Cost ~ to be confirmed soon
There are 3 sessions each day, 7.30-8.30am, 10.30-12.30 and 5-7pm
Delve into the elemental world of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.
Explore an element daily from Monday to Friday through a course of morning, afternoon and evening
sessions. Investigate the qualities of each element as you
experience them, the flow of Water, the powering up of your muscle and tendons with Wood, the expansive and
expressive qualities of Fire, the support and gathering bounty of the Earth and connect with your inner alchemy through Metal.
Using specific Chi Kung movements and meditations to regulate your whole system, you will begin to notice where the elements
interact and entwine harmoniously for your optimum balance.
Each day there will be plenty of time to have to yourself to enjoy the venue and surrounding area, or jump in the hot tub. Under the Lime Tree is a very Chi full place, conducive to deep replenishment and tasty nourishment, as devised, produced and organised by our host Nikki Emmerton, who has just published a marvelous and varied vegetarian cookbook: Under the Lime Tree.Cook!
A deposit is required by the beginning of July, to be decided soon.
All prices are exclusive of travel. If you are flying in, a mini bus can be organised to gather you up and return
