This 7 day (week long) Qi Gong & Tai Chi Retreat at The Ceridwen Centre, in Wales will bring you a great feeling of peace, harmony and balance.

It is a great opportunity to escape to an amazingly unspoilt part of Wales, whilst re-aligning with nature and balancing the body, mind and spirit.

Ceridwen is close to the sea, located on the hill-side as part of a 40 acre holding, with 3 acres of organic horticulture. Created from the old stone smithy and stables, Ceridwen is an enchanting place with breath-taking views across woodlands and valleys.

The Qi Gong sessions will explore the many different areas of Qi Gong, with Qi Gong meditation, exercises & relaxation techniques to unblock and clear energy channels (acupuncture meridians), whilst creating new positive energy, giving a great feeling of well-being.

The Tai Chi sessions will explore the fundamental essentials of the Old Classic Tai Chi Quan form LaoJia. This form of Tai Chi stimulates the nervous system, developing internal 'musculature', increases energy levels and circulation.

The Qi Gong & Tai Chi sessions will take place in either the indoor training space or outdoors in the tranquil surroundings of nature.

You are welcome to miss certain parts of training to explore the environment and relax in the surroundings.

Additionally to staying at the retreat centre which is a high energy environment, you will have the opportunity to explore this part of wales and trips may be arranged to visit high energy areas to train with the different 5 elements (Earth,Wood,Fire,Water,Metal).

Opening the Little Heaven Energy circuit - Qi Gong Workshop

Time 3pm - 6pm

Cost for this 3 hour workshop is £10

Opening the Little Heaven energy circuit - Ren mai & Du mai - Governing & Conception reservoir vessels.

Using Daoist & ShaoLin Qi Gong techniques we shall open the Du mai & Ren mai vessels using key gates along the Little Heaven circuit.

Once these vessels are opened, Qi will be circulated through the Little Heaven energy circuit culminating in absorbing the energy of the Heavens & the Earth into the 3 Dantians, the Little Heaven & the Chong mai (penetrating vessel).

Following this we will regulate the flow of energy through the Little Heaven.

Bringing a strong flow of energy through the Ren mai & Du mai channels unblocks and clears all the primary energy channels (acupuncture meridians) of the heart, lung, pericardium, liver, spleen, kidneys, small intestine, large intestine, SanJiao, gall bladder, stomach & bladder allowing you to create new positive energy throughout your body, giving a great feeling of well-being & balance.
