What's On in Fern Tree

Mindful Inner Health Cultivation is the practice of conscious attention to the mind-body. It is a traditional training and meditation regime of ‘Chan (Zen) Martial Arts Medicine’, an indigenous form of Buddhist practice. It involves unwavering attentiveness to deep breathing and slow, graceful movements originating from martial art forms. The practice promotes the flow of ‘qi’ and blood, nurtures internal organs, strengthens your ‘core’, improves joint function, stretches muscles and tendons, and improves posture, flexibility, and balance. The workshop will be broken into three parts: an introductory discussion plus practice breathing exercises and foundational Qi gong movements, a tea-break, and a further practice session learning more qi gong movements.
