Qigong Workshops 2026

1 Day workshops @

the Tithe barn, mells, BA11 3PN (nr frome)

dates: 18th september, 24th october & 21st november

time: 10am - 4pm

cost: £50

set: shibashi I

These workshops offer an opportunity to deepen your practice, understand more about each movement and learn/refine a complete set.

This year we will focus on Shibashi I before moving on to a other sets including Shibashi II, III & Ba Duan Jin (8 Brocades).

If you are familiar with the sets it will be a chance to refine the movements, learn the sequence and understand more about the physical and mental benefits.

If you are new(er) to Qigong it will be an opportunity to become familiar with each movement and confident enough to practice this set at home with the support of a video.

An idea of the schedule for the day is as follows:

10am - 11.15am Session 1

11.15am - 11.45am Tea break

11.45am - 12.45pm Session 2

12.45pm - 2pm Lunch

2pm - 3pm Session 3

3pm - 3.20pm Tea Break

3.20pm - 4pm Final short session

NB This set can be practiced seated and chairs will be available for anyone who needs to sit for part or all of the day. For those who cannot manage the whole day it may be possible to come for the morning.

The day may include some short sessions of walking, standing or seated meditation

There is a lovely private outdoor space which we may use for part of the day, weather permitting

Bring your own lunch (there is a kitchen with fridge etc) OR visit The Walled Garden cafe, The Mells Cafe (attached to Village Shop) or The Talbot Inn

Please be aware that The Tithe Barn has no internet due to thick stone walls and although there is good phone coverage for O2, some other networks (Vodafone, EE and Three) may only be available outside or further up the lane.
