Practice is easier when we don't do it alone. These community practices offer regular, supported opportunities to show up — whether it's daily online, weekly in Nelson, or monthly for a Full Moon Gathering. Each one is a chance to build consistency, deepen your connection to a healthy inner state, and let your practice nourish you. Let consistency do its quiet work!
DAILY
Online Community Practice
Every morning | Online
At different times
Each morning, a small and dedicated group of practitioners comes together online to begin the day with Yuan Qigong practice. It is a simple and powerful way to start the day grounded, connected, and nourished from within. There is something quietly profound about practising together across distance, supporting each other to show up consistently. That consistency creates a momentum that is difficult to replicate alone.
Please note: these are community practice sessions, not classes. There are no teachings. You will need to be familiar with the practices before joining.

WEEKLY
Community Practice Class
On Mondays during Term Time
In-person | Mondays | 6:30 to 8:00 pm
Each week during the Term. These sessions will support you in deepening your inner state and nourishing your life at a profound level through Yuan Qigong practices. It is an invitation not only to nourish your Qi, but also to deepen your trust in your inner resources, including your pure heart.
These weekly classes will include the practice of Method 1 (Tian Yuan) and Method 2 (Di Yuan), while placing a greater emphasis on two key areas: deepening our practice through guidance, shared experiences, and practical insights; and fostering a genuine sense of connection, belonging, and mutual support within the group.
We will also continue to cultivate the heart, explore disturbances that affect our inner state and deepen our understanding of life through key Ren Xue theories.
Together, these elements create a supportive, harmonious, and uplifting Qifield that nurtures both our individual and collective growth.
Monday evenings
6:30 to 8 pm | Fairfield House
With Chris and Claire
These classes are designed for those who have completed our introductory course (see Module 1) or are already familiar with the practice of Tian Yuan and Di Yuan and feel ready to have a regular practice.
Through practice, reflection, and exploration of Ren Xue teachings, participants will deepen their practice within a supportive group Qifield while developing a deeper understanding of themselves and others. The classes also provide an opportunity to enjoy practising together, foster a genuine sense of connection and belonging, and explore practical ways to create positive change in everyday life.
