Discover how the ancient arts of Feng Shui and Qigong beautifully support one another in creating greater balance, calm, and vitality in everyday life. In this presentation and through examples, we will explore how the energy of our surroundings affect the energy within us — and how simple shifts in space, breath, and movement can help us feel more grounded, centered, and connected.

Rather than a formal lecture, this gathering will be a warm and engaging conversation about energy flow, the Five Elements, and the relationship between our environment, body, mind, and spirit. Through relatable examples and gentle reflection, participants will learn how Feng Shui principles such as flow, balance, decluttering, and connection to nature can deepen and empower a Qigong practice.

Join us for an evening of conversation and a willingness to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the natural flow of energy around and within you.
