SUMMARY:Qi Gong Retreat with Hedwig
DESCRIPTION:Qi Gong Retreat with Hedwig \n28 November\, 4pm – 1 December\, 2pm  \n\nA 3-day retreat to explore the Blue Dragon style of Qi Gong \nBlue Dragon Qi Gong is an elegant and graceful practice combining stretching\, warmups\, breathing\, and flowing exercises. The movements are inspired by dragon-like motions and emphasize stretches and flows to encourage optimal Qi flow through the meridians. \nBy learning the Blue Dragon routine\, you will nourish your internal organs\, accelerate physical healing\, increase vitality\, flexibility and inner strength while deepening your knowledge and practice of Qi Gong. \nWhat is Blue Dragon? \nThe Blue Dragon is also a mythical figure and archetype embodying certain inner qualities we can enhance within ourselves. Sometimes these qualities are not integrated\, or we don’t have access to that inner resource.  \nThe color blue represents both water and sky\, symbolizing the vastness and openness of the heavens and the fluidity\, adaptability\, reflection\, depth\, and cohesiveness of water. \nAnd so\, the qualities related to Blue Dragon that we will be practicing and exploring through breathwork\, meditation and movement are strength-resilience\, inner wisdom-reflection\, spaciousness\, calmness-tranquility and fluidity. \nThe dragon has so very much to teach us and when we dive into this particular style of Qi Gong it gives us an opportunity to delve deeper into our own innate\, untapped power and potential.  \nWe all have a tremendous amount of energy within us and sometimes all this energy is dormant like a dragon within us\, waiting to be released and explored. \nUltimately\, Qi Gong is a practice for life. The intention is that when we cultivate and strengthen these qualities and principles through our practice\, we can embody and express them in daily life. This is very empowering! \n\nWhat other people had to say\nIt was awesome practicing with you and having such a loving shared experience. \nIt was such an amazing experience\, you are brilliant. \nI love this truly awesome practice. Hedwig is a wonderful teacher and this practice is absolutely supreme\, it fills my cup every time I do it. \nYou offer such an incredible gift in service to the well-being of others…. you are an inspiration to me. \n\nWhat to expect\nLearn a dynamic Blue Dragon Standing Routine and a gentle Blue Dragon Seated Moving Meditation \nPractice indoors and out in nature \nFeel inspired and empowered through tuning into the qualities of the Blue Dragon  \nEnjoy the beauty and magic of Mana with its expansive views\, peaceful setting\, wonderful walks\, delicious organic food\, and supportive staff. \nPlease note that some parts of this retreat will be conducted in silence  \n\nDaily Schedule\n \n  \n\nYour Teacher\n \nHedwig grew up in the Netherlands\, was trained as a teacher physical education and worked  as an outdoor instructor for 15 years until she left the Netherlands in 2000. Initially she travelled overseas\, then lived in India and Nepal for nine years where she engaged in Buddhist teachings & retreats and several charity projects.  \nHedwig has been practicing meditation for over two decades and has been leading meditation classes\, courses and retreats since 2004. She is also a certified Holden Qi Gong teacher and leads all kinds of Qi Gong events.  These many years of personal practice and leading retreats & courses have resulted in a richness of experience and a genuine joy in sharing and guiding others in meditation & movement practice. \n\nThis retreat is suitable for all skill levels: those new to Qi Gong as well as those with previous experience. \nFor more information\, contact Hedwig at qigonghedwig@gmail.com \nFor an impression of the practice\, visit: https://www.youtube.com/@QiGongwithHedwig or https://www.facebook.com/qi.gong.with.hedwig
