FINDING PEACE
A DAY OF YOGA & QIGONG
AT
THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL ARBORETUM, ALREWAS
SATURDAY 11 JANUARY 2025, 10AM TO 4PM
***BOOKING now open***
In these uncertain and challenging times it’s more important than ever to hold on to hope. And to the values that help foster peace: understanding, empathy, courage and kindness.
Join me for this special day of yoga and qigong at the National Memorial Arboretum, just off the A38/A513 between Lichfield and Burton on Trent. Home to over 25,000 trees and over 400 memorials that remember ordinary people and the values they sought to uphold, the National Memorial Arboretum sits on a tranquil 150 acre site on the edge of the National Forest. It provides the perfect setting to pause, to reflect and to be inspired never to give up on the good in life.
We’ll begin our day with a mindful yoga practice designed to create a sense of inner peace and to equip us with a few tools we can call upon to help us meet life’s inevitable ups and downs with greater compassion for ourselves and others.
After a mid-morning break for a hot drink and tasty snack, you’ll enjoy a qigong practice in which the invitation will be to consider how we might draw strength and inspiration from and harmonise with the natural world around us. If you’d like to know a bit more about qigong, click through to the qigong page above.
After lunch in the on site restaurant*, which serves hot and cold seasonal dishes using locally sourced produce, you’ll be treated to a guided walk around the Arboretum.
To round off this special day, Jen (from Serenity Sound & Soul with Jen) will create a blissful Sound Bath for us. All you need to do by this point in the day is lie down, snuggle up under a blanket or two and allow Jen to take you on an immersive sound experience designed to create a deep sense of peace and wellbeing.
Places are limited. Booking now open.
Cost: £70 (includes all hot drinks and snacks and free parking. * Lunch is at your own expense)
