It can be very beneficial to immerse yourself in a subject; to give yourself more time to absorb an intricate flow of thought or feeling. Longwater Tai Chi provides weekend workshops in two formats, to suit your available time:
- half day (typically 3 hours)
- full day (5-6 hours incl. time off for lunch)
Summer Qigong - Downton
Five Seasons Qigong: Summer's Joyful Opening
We continue our popular series of 'immersion' weekend workshops that span the year and its seasons. Discover and embody ancient practices that were created to naturally resonate with the energies of the Earth through its annual cycle.
With the associated Fire element of summer comes the desire to enjoy the sun and spend time outside. The heart energy opens in joy and compassion. The word for heart in Chinese also means 'mind' and it encompasses a much broader understanding than we have in the west.
Sat (10am to 4.30pm) / Sun (10am to 1pm). Cost £70 for both days / £35 for the Sat Morning session only.
On Sunday we offer an in-depth workshop where you can deepen your study, as well as review and practice what we learn on the Saturday - see details. You do not have to attend this session but it is included in the price.

Late Summer Qigong - Downton
Five Seasons Qigong: Late Summer to Centre and Integrate
We continue our popular series of 'immersion' weekend workshops that span the year and its seasons. Discover and embody ancient practices that were created to naturally resonate with the energies of the Earth through its annual cycle.
At this time the Earth element rules and we focus, gather and integrate all levels of our energies through the organs of spleen and stomach. The spleen is so powerful it is not limited to just this season but rather, like the earth itself, fosters all things. The spleen is responsible for the use of all post-natal chi in the body. It transforms everything that we eat and drink into chi and blood.
Sat (10am to 4.30pm) / Sun (10am to 1pm). Cost £70 for both days / £35 for the Sat Morning session only.

Autumn Qigong - Downton
Five Seasons Qigong: Autumn Gathering
We continue our popular series of 'immersion' weekend workshops that span the year and its seasons. Discover and embody ancient practices that were created to naturally resonate with the energies of the Earth through its annual cycle.
In autumn the predominant element is Metal. This element is also related to minerals that are born out of the earth and infuses life to water as it flows over the ground - hence metal gives birth to water (the winter element). The two systems in the body that are most strongly activated at this time are the lungs and the large intestine. Both organs have the function of gathering in what is essential and of letting go of what is not needed.
Sat (10am to 4.30pm) / Sun (10am to 1pm). Cost £70 for both days / £35 for the Sat Morning session only.
On Sunday we offer an in-depth workshop where you can deepen your study, as well as review and practice what we learn on the Saturday - see details. You do not have to attend this session but it is included in the price.
