Rest and Renew

A day of restorative qigong, meditation and time in nature

Sunday 18th January 2026, 10.15am – 6pm, Wytham Village Hall

‘Rest and Renew’ offers you a space to feel more deeply the core of your energy, to take stock of what’s moving in your body and being, and learn some movement and meditation for replenishing your energy reserves. There will be space for reflection, sharing, and time in nature.

As the energy of nature goes inwards and downwards towards the roots, conserving itself, winter qigong helps us do the same. Winter is associated with the Water element in traditional Chinese medicine, and with the Kidneys and Bladder network. The Kidneys are the area where ‘the spark of life’ is seen to reside in the human body.

The ‘Rest & Renew’ session will include:

• Self-massage to support the Kidney network
• The Nine Forms of Pre-Heaven qigong
• Winter-specific qigong for restoring energy
• Deeply relaxing breath meditation.

‘Rest and Renew’ is suitable for beginners and those with some experience of Tai Chi, qigong, or other forms of embodied movement.
