Tai Chi, Qi Gong & Sauna – Day Workshop – 24th October
Join Bruce for a full day of mindful movement and revitalisation supported by the wonderful Ardagh Community Sauna.
Tai Chi and Qigong are time-proven practices combining dynamic movement and relaxation. Sometimes described as “meditation in motion”, or “movement medicine”, the systems can help develop flexibility, core strength, balance, coordination, mobility and body awareness, while creating a deep sense of stillness and connection.
Throughout the day, Bruce will guide you through accessible Tai Chi and Qigong exercises, suitable for beginners, and those with previous experience. There’s no pressure to ‘keep up’ or be super agile — the practice is about finding your own rhythm and giving your body and mind space to reset.
The day will also include a group sauna session, giving you the opportunity to unwind, relax and enjoy the restorative warmth of the sauna after your practice.
A nourishing day to slow down, breathe, move

Taijiwuxigong Workshop in Wales, with Bruce Turner
The Wild of the Words at Cwmffrwd Farm Campsite
Saturday 22nd August 2026 POSTPONED
Overview
Energise, relax and re-calibrate mind, body and soul in this beautiful Taiji day workshop.
Taijiwuxigong is a life system that has evolved through centuries and has adapted to have many functions and benefits.
Taiji means ‘unlimited in size’, or put another way freedom of energy
Qi Gong means ‘Cultivating Energy’
Together, Tai Chi and Qi Gong form a powerful system of optimising health, and developing potential in life for improved physique, more energy, balance of emotion, mental clarity and stability. Taijiwuxigong exercises are dynamic and fun with participants being able to quickly grasp the core principals, and so take command of their health and well-being.
A fundamental principle in Taijiwuxigong is to harness nature and the farm is the perfect setting to explore this – the forces within us, and the natural forces of the ground, the air, and moving with these!
The Taijiwuxigong system was developed by Dr Shen and Bruce studied closely with Dr Shen for many years, attaining certification in Martial Arts, Self-Healing and Therapeutic application. There are many teachers out there, many classes of Tai Chi and Qi Gong, but there are few that have preserved the true essence and quality of these art forms. Bruce’s classes are memorable, easily repeatable, and so can become great stabilisers to deal with the complexities, stresses, distractions and conditions we are faced with day to day in modern life.
Happiness should be unconditional, the trick is to learn how to de-condition the body, energy and mind. Bruce’s workshops are a wonderful way to begin this journey!
The workshop will be split into two sections – morning and afternoon. Please bring a picnic lunch to enjoy between these session.
