After the success of the January workshop, I am delighted to be returning to Claridge House to host another Qigong & Forest Bathing Workshop at their beautiful House and Garden.
I trained in Qigong many years ago but have only recently introduced it into my work. I now realise I should have done that ages ago because it combines beautifully with Forest Bathing.
Qigong allows us to first focus on our own nature, coming into conscious awareness and connection with the body through gentle mindful movements and breathwork that allows you to flow with your own Qi (energy) and connect with the Qi of Mother Nature.
After the Qigong you will sink blissfully into the Forest Bathing which is based around mindful connection to Nature and involves simple yet powerful exercises that help you connect with your senses and the environment around you to feel calm, grounded and connected.to yourself and the present moment.
The Japanese term `Shinrin Yokuβ, which translates directly as βForest Bathβ, means to bathe in the atmosphere of the Forest or a place of Nature and does not refer to any physical kind of swimming or bathing.
The Japanese began Forest bathing back in the 80s and today there are forest bathing guides all over the world guiding people back into Nature to find peace, deep relaxation, connection and meaning. The practice has been subject to a vast amount of research and has been scientifically proven to be effective support for mental health illness and physical/emotional health and wellbeing too.
