Harmony Circle – Guest Presenter Sunday 11th July
Paula Robinson – Qigong for Health & Healing

Venue; Community Hall, 2 Alnwick St (next door to Town Hall), Warkworth.
Open at 6.45pm for a 7pm start. $5 Koha – Harmony Circle is non-profit.

When I say I teach Qigong (Chee-gong) the most common response is “What’s Qigong?”. My easy reply to that is… “It’s an incredible and accessible practise where you can learn to heal yourself, easily, simply and quickly.”
How awesome would that be if you were to find a method of healing your own self that fits into your lifestyle, that resonates with you, and that produces positive results!
I practise and teach Spring Forest Qigong. It’s a practise that anyone, of any age and ability can do.
This particular Qigong has been simplified to be both easy and effective. It can be done standing, sitting or lying down.
I’ll explain how this works and how it may help you, along with some information around the 5 Element Healing Moves, Yin & Yang and Qi (Energy).

Win a healing session or a one-on-one qigong lesson in the evening draw!

Everyone welcome, this is an open group, come along if you can, look forward to seeing you there!

This month we’re celebrating the diverse array of people who call New Zealand home. Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.

There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:
