About this event

Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese energy movement practice, it is available and accessible to all abilities and bodies. During this event we will explore themes, elements and concepts of Qi Gong as the seasons unfold.

Cultivating the soft strength and playful movements that are at the core of Qi Gong’s health benefits, for longevity and a balanced life. Accompanied by a live soundscape by bones and various ambient musicians over the months, practitioners will be fully immersed in the sonic sounds as they move intentionally through this energy practice. Moving somatically, bones guides students into a poetic relationship to their bodies and the space and world around them.
