The Inner Room

A winter afternoon to store warmth with qigong, seasonal food & expressive arts The darkness and cold are settling in. Let’s keep our warmth through ancient wisdom and by creating art together. ​In Chinese medicine, winter is the season of storing (藏, cáng): resting more, protecting your warmth, and keeping your energy inside. ​We’ll warm the body with gentle wellness qigong, breathwork, and a few acupressure points to regulate the movement of Qi. Then we’ll share a bowl of winter porridge, made with warming ingredients from Chinese medicine, along with seasonal snacks. To close, you’ll be guided through a quiet expressive arts process to soften and connect even deeper to yourself and the group. What to expect • ​Seasonal warming TCM tea from arrival, all afternoon • ​About an hour of gentle wellness qigong, breathwork and acupressure • ​Winter porridge and seasonal snacks, with a short guided eating meditation • ​A quiet expressive art process, all materials will be provided by us • ​A closing circle ​You’ll leave with • ​A warm, settled body and mind • ​A few qigong movements and acupressure points to keep you warm through winter • ​A small artwork made by you • ​A new way of understanding the season ​We’ll be a small circle of 8 at my home in Mitte (Almstadt str). No art experience needed. Wear warm, comfy clothes and thick socks. The food is plant-based and contains sesame and nuts, so please mention any allergies when you register. Qigong is gentle and can be adapted. Acupressure needs extra care during pregnancy or post-surgery recovery, so if either applies to you, or you have a condition that affects how you move, feel free to reach out before booking.
