Autumn Retreat Day – 5 Element Metal Spirit Day

Main Instructor: Ben Calder

Join Ben Calder (35+ years experience) at the Walled Garden School for a gentle, grounding retreat rooted in seasonal wisdom. As we enter autumn, we explore the Metal Element—the energy of breath, refinement, and the art of letting go.

What to Expect:

Morning (Jing): Focus on physical vitality through joint-opening, foundational LifeForce Qigong, and Microcosmic Orbit breathing to build strength and cultivate inner harmony.

Afternoon (Qi): Focus on emotional flow and Metal/Lung energy. Includes 5-element organ activation, guided meditations for emotional healing, and outdoor practice (weather permitting).

Included: A delicious seasonal light lunch from Hawarden Estate Farm Shop and all necessary equipment.

Experience: Open to all; no prior experience necessary.

What to bring: Wear comfortable, layered clothing.

Reconnect with yourself and the natural rhythms of the season in this soulful day of clearing and centring.

Investment: £70

Event Address: The Walled Garden School, Pedlars Central, Hawarden, Flintshire CH5 3NY
