The meditative movement practice of qigong (“chee-gong”) teaches us to observe the energies and flows of nature and, like a wise gardener, cultivate our personal health and wellbeing according to the same principles – continual change, the balanced pulse of yin and yang, and the cycle of the five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal and water). Join movement-wellness coach Kele Baker for a practical exploration into how these Daoist principles are alive in the design of Innisfree Garden and the functioning of body and mind.
