Guided meditation session whilst playing quartz crystal bowls. Crystal sound therapy is a vibrational remedy that uses the principle of resonance. As the sound waves enter the body, sympathetic vibrations occur within the cells. If an organ or system is out of balance (normal vibrational frequency) we can use a vibrational remedy to bring it back into its normal pattern. The overall effect can be likened to a deep massage at the atomic & molecular level. Materials: Bring yoga mat/cushion, water & a light rug (Class dates: 28 Oct, 25 Nov & 9 Dec)

Qigong (also known as Chi Kung) is a set of exercises involving body movements and deep breathing to promote the flow of internal energy within us (known as Qi or Chi in Chinese). There are many forms and approaches with Qigong, all dated back hundreds of years. Fragrance Qigong is one form which was initially promoted by Master Tian Rui Sheng in 1988 who was taught by monks earlier in his life. Qigong is very popular in China and it has been claimed to be beneficial in treating many forms of sicknesses. Although it is most useful during rehabilitation and recovery, if practised regularly, Fragrance Qigong can promote good health. In this talk and demonstration, an introduction to Fragrance Qigong will be given and the speaker will share his experience with this form of Qigong. He will also demonstrate levels 1 and 2 of the practice with the participants.

The start of the fifteenth century saw a flourish of activity in Florence: Filippo Brunelleschi designed the famous dome for the Cathedral, Lorenzo Ghiberti created the impressive bronze doors for the baptistery and Donatello set the first steps in what would become a long and successful career in sculpture. While the city of Florence was under direct threat of an attack by its mighty neighbour Milan, these artists through their rivalry brought out the best in each other and changed the face of the city forever.
