Welcome to Harwich Conservation Trust's (HCT) "Connecting with Nature" series with QiGong instructor Andrea Belford of Cape Cod QiGong (capecodqigong.org). QiGong is the ancient Chinese practice of cultivating life force energy by following a series of slow and gentle movements that combine proper posture, healthy breathing, and mindfulness. With an emphasis on the 5 elements of Nature - Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water - QiGong will circulate the life force energy within you to help us achieve and maintain health, healing, and vitality of the body, mind, and spirit. When we practice QiGong outside, and move our body with nature, it helps us to become more rooted and more aware of the profound energetic relationship we have with everything and everyone around us. This deepens our connection with our surroundings, helping us to cultivate a stronger connection with our inner nature so we may feel more at peace with ourselves and with one another.
Please join us at a Harwich Conservation Trust Preserve for this QiGong practice followed by a gentle stroll through forested trails.
Please dress for weather, warmth, and comfort.
