Drop-in Meditation

 Facilitated by Blair Carleton

November 11th, 2019

6:00 - 7:00 pm

About the Session 

Qigong is an ancient physical art and a moving meditation that can be a powerful tool for self-healing.  It is easy to learn and can be done anywhere – standing, sitting, or lying down. Qigong combines mental focus, breathing techniques, and body movements to promote balance and healing at the physical and emotional levels. It can be easily adapted and beneficial for people with limited mobility. This session is called “Mostly Qigong” because although we begin and end with qigong, we may add in additional mindfulness techniques. People from all experience levels are welcome.
