2024-03-24 17:15 - 19:15 (Europe/London) | Belbroughton Church Hall, Church Road, Belbroughton, England, DY9 9TE, United Kingdom
Qigong & Soundbath Spring Energiser, come and join us for an evening peace and tranquillity through a unique fusion of these arts

Starting with a 50 minute Qigong session- Qigong is the grandfather of tai-chi combinging slow movements with deep breathing to create a moving meditation. It is helpful for many health problems from managing stress to easing pain and improving sleep.
Then get cosy and let Sarah’s magical sounds take you on a rejuvenating journey !Regular soundbaths are ideal for relieving stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression and chronic pain issues, and for deep meditation/ journey experiences for those wishing to expand their inner awareness.
Sarah is a professional percussionist who uses her skills to create multi-layered textures of dreamy sounds. Her beautifully crafted Gongs, Shamanic Drums and array of healing instruments will draw you effortlessly into creative states between sleep and deeply relaxed awareness – (the alpha & theta states) – where your mind and body can recuperate and re-energise.

WHAT TO BRING• Comfortable clothing for the Qigong. • A COMFY MAT AND SOFT BEDDING for under you as well as the floor can be chilly. (You are also welcome to sit in a chair.)*No sleeping bags as they are too noisy! Soft blankets, fleeces & duvets please.• Eyemask if you wish.• Water
PRECAUTIONSGongbaths are not advisable during first trimester of pregnancy (and under your own responsibility at other stages), for those with a pacemaker, and those with dissociative disorders and serious mental health issues. Take care also if you have sensitive hearing issues – Sarah doesn’t play loudly but bring earplugs as a precaution.
