Are you curious about Qigong and how it might help you?

This is a self-paced online course, with 6 guided recorded session to support your learning and practice. You can begin whenever it feels right for you, and go at your own pace supporting a steady and integrated learning process.

The sessions include guided Qigong movements, breathing, and meditation practices to nourish and uplift and are between 60-75mins in length.

Qigong practice naturally calms and clears the mind, creating space for creativity, focus, and a more relaxed inner state where peace, joy, and vitality can arise.

The Yuan Qigong methods support the amount, quality, and flow of Qi throughout the body, while gently opening the heart and supporting a deeper connection with your own inner awareness and innate wisdom.

My intention is that you will finish the course feeling more connected with your Qi, body, pure heart and True Self, and have practical tools you can integrate into daily life. Regular practice can make a profound difference to health and wellbeing, and this course offers a clear first step.

What if uncertainty is not a problem to solve, but a space to comfortably stand within?
I look forward to sharing this session with you under the light and wonderful Qi of the full moon!
Whether you are an experienced practitioner, new to Yuan Gong, or simply curious to find out more — all are welcome.
- Sunday 1 March, 5.30-7pm
- Suggested donation of $15-20
- Bring a water bottle and wear layers you can take off.
- Cushions and mats are provided and there is some seating

Do you have any ongoing challenges with your energy, stress levels or overall health? Would you like to feel more grounded, calm and emotionally steady and centred?

I’m offering a YUAN QIGONG DAY RETREAT teaching the organ method: XIA YUAN - a deeply nourishing practice that supports the health and vitality of the internal organs to increase energy and wellbeing and calm.

📅 Date: 8 March 2026
🕘 Time: 9.30am – 4.30pm
📍 Location: The Birdsnest, Marahau
✅ Register here: https://forms.gle/Q65Tnr1UfGoJtMfb6

Xia Yuan includes organ-specific movements, healing sounds and vibrations, colour visualisation, and simple hand postures to nourish the Yin organs (Liver, Heart, Spleen/Pancreas, Lungs, Kidneys, and San Jiao) and in turn support their paired Yang organs (Gallbladder, Small Intestine, Stomach, Colon, and Bladder).

As the organs become more balanced and harmonised, many people notice they feel healthier, more emotionally centred, more open-hearted, less stressed or reactive, and more connected to a sense of wellbeing and inner strength.

Xia Yuan is safe and easy to learn, and if you are already practicing Qigong, this method will take you to a new level.

If you’d like to participate but are an absolute beginner, or if you have any questions, please contact Rachel: [email protected]
