Qigong

Qigong is a system of gentle exercise, rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and philosophy, that will help you to relax, repair your body, strengthen your immune system and improve your health and wellbeing.

Qigong contains both vigorous and gentle movements which stimulate and open the acupuncture channels and points to allow the free flow of Qi. Vigorous movements (including shaking and slapping) release negative Qi, while gentle movements gather fresh Qi which is stored through meditation.

Peter learnt Dayan (Wild Goose) Qigong from his Sifu Grandmaster Michael Tse, one of the few teachers in the West who earned the blessing of Great Grandmaster Yang Mei Jun to teach the skill. Yang Mei Jun was the 27th generation holder of the skill. She was a remarkable woman who lived to be 104.

Peter has been a Tse Qigong Centre instructor for nearly 30 years.

The retreat

Felinganol Woodland Retreat is near Aberteifi (Cardigan market town and Mwnt beach in rural west Wales.  Your hosts, Meriel and Mark, invite you to take some time for yourself to relax in nature and begin to learn the skill of QiGong with Peter Siggaard Anderson here in the warm forest studio, and outside if the weather allows.

You are invited to dine with us and enjoy forest life and explore the local beaches and beautiful coastal walks nearby, if you like.

Felinganol is a tranquil experience where you'll stay in your own cabin immersed in nature. Meriel and Mark will serve delicious, balanced, home-made lunches and dinners, breakfast will be laid out for you to take in your own time in the mornings.
