I don't know how many years you have to do something before it becomes tradition, but we'll once again be joined for an Autumn seminar by the wonderful Feixia Yu. Last year's popular seminar gave an overview of the 12 exercises which make up the Mawangdui Daoyin 12 Movements, some of which we've subsequently worked on in our Qigong classes over the last 12 months. This year we thought we'd revisit the set, but wanted to allow more time to look at each individual exercise. As a result we've decided to split the seminar into two 3 hour sessions: Saturday 21st October and Saturday 4th November, each running from 1 - 4pm.
In addition to her work as Director of UCLan's Confucius Institute, Feixia also hosts her own regular online Qigong classes. This summer she travelled to Tokyo to take part in the 10th World Health Qigong Tournament and Exchange where she won two silver medals, one for the Ba Duan Jin and the other for Liu Zi Jue (Six Healing Sounds). Over 500 athletes from almost 30 countries competed, including a number of very accomplished practitioners from the well respected Shanghai Sport University.
You'll find full details about our Mawangdui seminar and book a place via our seminars page. If you'd like to know a little more regarding the history of the exercises you might like to read this news post about last year's seminar.
As if all that wasn't enough, the UCLan Confucius Institute has organised an event to celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival this coming Saturday 30th September. Guests are invited to come along and try a variety of moon cakes and green teas. The celebration is taking place at Caritas Care Plungington Community Centre, Brook Street, Preston PR1 7NB next Saturday 30th September from 2:30 - 3:30pm. To book yourself a place, click here.
