Qigong in Nature

10am

Tue 3rd March 2026

meet at Islington Ecology Centre in Gillespie Park

191 Drayton Park, London N5 1PH

Join us for the first Mindful Qigong or moving meditation session back at Gillespie park in the Year of the Fire Horse.

Through this practice, we learn to live well, return to balance, restore connectedness with oneself and all beings, and remember we are nature.

It is about

• Allowing the energy to flow

• Unblocking stagnation and releasing stress and tension

• Unlocking calm and clarity

• Exploring the connectedness of the body, mind and heart with deep listening

• Cultivating focused attention, kind intention and open awareness

• Reconnecting with oneself/others and nature

No Qigong or mindfulness experience required.

The heart circle is a space to slow down, breathe, and be together.
Here we listen, to ourselves, to each other, and to the more-than-human world we’re part of.

In these times of uncertainty, we’ll gather our stories, questions, joys, and grief, holding them with care. We’ll use simple practices from meditation, somatics, and shared inquiry to help us drop into a deeper connection, with our own bodies, with community, and with the earth beneath our feet.

Co-facilitated by Ariyanandā from Open Ground and Michel from Social Landscapes, the circle is a place where stillness and play can meet, and where new ways of relating to the world can quietly take root.

Sessions are held online and in person in London, and are funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.
Registrations open September 2nd.

The online sessions will be hosted on Zoom.

The venue for the in-person session is the Islington Ecology Centre, 191 Drayton Park, London N5 1PH, easily accessible from Arsenal Station or Finsbury Park.
