Providing opportunities for presence.
WE INTEND
To encourage curiosity, contemplation and a greater sense of self- connection. Our sessions are designed to guide members into a space of their own wisdom. Every element of our events is chosen to elicit your awareness of the present moment, and what is held within it, for you.
WE OFFER
A thematic workshop which harmonises meditative and creative practices, community and conversation.
The Stagnancy + Flow workshop offers a space to observe where you resist and where you move with ease. Through a practice of meditation, Qigong and an Ensō drawing practice, your inner obstacles can be met with curiosity and an understanding of your own inner process can be found.
Buddhist Meditation and Qigong facilitator Kasia Murfet, and artist and Therapist Mimi Robson, support you to become present and deeply connected to your Self. We provide all the materials and serve a complimentary tea to renew your focus and energy throughout the day.

Conversation
“WE MEDITATE TO MEET OURSELVES”
Meditation practice offers us an opportunity for connection. It allows us to soften and build interoceptive awareness - the ability to acknowledge and feel bodily sensations. By bringing awareness to our own breath and the body, we arrive in the present, pause, and make a choice.
We will practice a meditation that supports us ‘Acknowledge, Feel and Soften’ around the obstacles in our personal practices.
“A SINGLE STROKE WILL REVEAL THE CHARACTER OF ITS MAKER”
Mindful mark making develops our focus and sensitivity in your brushwork, cultivating skill, self-awareness and self-reflection.
Ensōs invite us to contemplate the whole cycle of experience and detach from judgements about where we find ourselves within it. Open Ensōs are incomplete, but allow for movement and development and a lingering appreciation of what is beautiful within the imperfect.
TEA
During the day, we serve tea to nourish and renew your energy, as well as offering a moment of contemplation and conversation.
“WHERE MIND GOES, ENERGY FLOWS”
Qigong is a Chinese healing art that incorporates intentional movement, meditation, breathwork and visualisations.
Qigong teaches us proficiency. By focusing on form and technique we begin to develop precision and strong body-mind connection. Qigong does not challenge time under tension but it dares us to be present with life as it is.
