The outside Qigong Session really helped me to feel connected to nature.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nI would highly recommend this weekend to a friend. it felt very nourishing, relaxing and fun. A lovely opportunity to “fill up the cup”\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nSuper timetable which flowed very well\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nI found the whole weekend beneficial and enjoyed the variety and the way it has been timetabled. I found the tai chi in particular stimulating and fresh,\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nMindfulness, Yoga and Qigong all made for a wonderful escape from daily distractions in a beautiful location. The qigong outside was a truly unique experience.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nGreat for mental and physical health\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nThis weekend has been amazing and one of the most beneficial relaxing weekends of mindfulness. The highlight was practicing outside in nature.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\nRich and nourishing\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]\nMindfulness, Qigong & Yoga Retreat Weekend\n \nWhatever age we are,  many of us can get stuck in old habits, such as neglecting self-care, not getting enough good quality sleep and forgetting to move in ways that maintain our strength, balance and flexibility. Research evidence suggests that practicing mindfulness with yoga and qigong can help all these issues and increase our confidence, happiness and overall quality of life.  As we get older we need to put a little more effort into taking care of ourselves, but this needn’t be difficult. In fact with yoga and qigong it can be quite fun.\nDuring this weekend you will learn some short, easy to do, gentle Chi Yoga and QiGong movements integrated with Mindfulness practice. You will be practicing along as part of a group of like minded people in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.\nSo if you feel stuck in your old habits why not do something different? Come and join us for a weekend of movement, mindfulness and relaxation. This weekend is open to anyone who wishes to join.\nTutor: Jacky Seery and Amy Copsey\nDates: 26-27 September 2026\nPrice: £185.00 including manual\nTimes: 10.00am- 17.00pm on Saturday and 9.15am-16.00pm on Sunday.\nVenue: The Crichton, Bankend Road, Dumfries, DG1 4TA.  For more details about the Crichton please click here.
