Workshops
Our in-person workshops are generally held at the North London Buddhist Centre on Holloway Road, N7. The day or weekend focuses on a particular theme. Our workshops are gently paced and are perfectly suitable for beginners as well as those with previous experience. They are sometimes over-subscribed so early booking is recommended. We continue to offer online workshops, where numbers are not restricted.

WOOD - An Elemental Qigong Workshop
Wood is the power of growth and is associated with the season of Spring. In the body it manifests as the Liver and Gall Bladder organs, responsible for planning, decision-making and the free flow of Blood, Qi and the emotions. The Liver in particular is said to house our 'wild inner spirit' and its vitality governs the healthy expression of this aspect of us, including our sexuality. The expansive and spiralling qualities of Wood and its connection to these organs and their meridians will be explored in both moving and static forms. The Deer is the animal most associated with the Wood Element and we will explore Deer forms that embody the animal's power and grace. The session will be gently paced and will be perfect for the beginner. No previous experience of qigong necessary. There will be a short break.

FIRE: An Elemental Qigong Workshop with Tom & Richard
Fire is the expansive phase of the Five Elements cycle. It is associated with heat, the season of summer and the emotion joy. In the body it manifests primarily through the Heart, seen in Chinese medicine as the emperor of our internal kingdom, but its significance and power is such that it is allotted four meridians. We will explore a variety of static and moving forms that connect to these meridians and their associated organs, and balance and support this work with the Earth and Water Elements. We will incorporate bird forms, this being the animal most associated with Fire. Working with the Fire Element can bring clarity of mind, aid restful sleep and help us to fully embrace life. The session will be gently paced and will be perfect for the beginner. No previous experience of qigong necessary. There will be a short break.
