Meditation For Beginners And Qigong For Relaxation
Teacher: Elizabeth Gaywood and Di Franklin
Cost: 2 days accommodation + R350 surcharge
Dates: Friday 15 November 2024 - Sunday 17 November 2024
At the best of times our minds run riot leaving us exhausted, stressed and often difficult to live with! The simple act of closing our eyes and focusing on our breath can do wonders for our body and mind, but at the root of our tension and dissatisfaction is something that we should investigate more fully for meditation to be beneficial. This is what we will be experimenting with during the weekend and together with the calming energy and gentle movements of qigong, you will begin to feel more at peace and at ease.
