CHINESE HEALTH QIGONG WORKSHOP
SUNDAY 5 SEPTEMBER
RINGWOOD, HAMPSHIRE

Faye Li Yip, President of the British Health Qigong Association and Director of the Deyin Taijiquan Institute (GB), is coming to Ringwood to teach two of the four routines selected a few years ago by the Chinese Government to promote Qigong as a health regime:
         ·        Ba Duan Jin (Eight Treasures)
          ·        Wi Qin Xi (Five Animal Exercises)
 
 In the morning session,  the routine introduced will be the Ba Duan Jin, often called the ‘Eight Treasures, or the ‘Eight Silk Brocades’.   The movements are straightforward enough for a beginner to pick up, but there is also plenty for the more experienced student or teacher.  
 
In the afternoon, we shall look at the Wu Qin Xi, known as the ‘5 Animal Frolics’. It is regarded as the oldest form of medical Qigong in Chinese history, dating back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).
 Some of the proven health benefits that  Ba Duan Jin and Wu Qin Xi can provide are:

         ~ Improvements to circulation and the functioning of the heart;
        ~ Increased mobility in some chronic joint problems such as arthritis;
~ A more efficient digestive system, with relief from conditions, such as indigestion and constipation;
~A strong immune system.
Students will get the chance to try exercise sets taught by a top level Chinese teacher.
 
Date:  Sunday 5 September
Venue: Ringwood Waldorf School,
Folly Farm Lane, Ringwood, BH24
Time:  10:00-12:30 - lunch-break - 13:30-16:00
 
Suitable for all levels of ability
Cost: £45 for both sessions, £25 for one session, per person in advance. £55, or £35 on the day.

The Way of the Mystic Warrior with David Hand

Sun28th June ~ Glastonbury, Somerset, 1pm-5pm, cost: £15
(plus small entry charge to Chalice Well Gardens)

Glastonbury Tor Initiation

The Glastonbury Tor Initiation, including the purification and healing rite at Chalice Well, aims to open a portal into the angelic and elemental realms that can connect you with the beings and energies that are aiding you on your soul’s mission. David has chosen this incredibly powerful sacred site as it acts as a meeting place between our world and the subtle realms that surround us. Wisdom, insight, practical help and healing may be freely given as we connect with the guides of our path and the ancient guardians of this sacred place. Ultimately, on our journey of initiation, we invoke the powerful energies of Michael, the Archangel of the element of fire, to transform our lives and facilitate a strong bond to souls.
