Winter Retreat Day – 5 Element Water Spirit Day


Event Details


Main Instructor: Ben Calder

Join us for a nourishing Winter LifeForce Qigong retreat day exploring the Water element and the strengthening of Kidney energy. This seasonal practice supports stillness, resilience, and the release of fear and tension held in the body.

The morning session focuses on cultivating jing through gentle but powerful foundational practices: joint opening, spine loosening, standing work, breath awareness, and LifeForce Qigong’s core movement sets. We also introduce Microcosmic Orbit breathing and completion practices to settle and integrate energy.

In the afternoon, we work with the emotional energetics of the Five Element organs. Through accessible movement and breath-led practices, we loosen, activate, cleanse, circulate, and harmonise internal energy. Extended Water element work helps deepen presence, restore vitality, and align with the quiet, inward nature of the season.
