Insight Meditation and Qi-Gong

Insight Meditation and Qi-Gong

In this retreat, we will cultivate a sustained and gentle attentiveness to the movement and stillness of the body, heart and mind. As we bring investigation and kindness to this constantly-changing experience of life, the entanglements that bind us become more visible, allowing us to soften and open to the simplicity of this moment. Through this cultivation we can access a spaciousness, which allows our natural compassion and wisdom to become more available to us.

The Qi Gong practice is very much part of the meditative inquiry, using simple standing and moving exercises suitable for all levels of experience and health.
