Qi Gong for Vitality with Lee Holden


This weekly course is within ‘Responsibility for Our Creation’ programme. Whether you join for single week(s) or commit to the full Spring 6-week programme, you'll learn to think freely, feel deeply, and see the world with newfound clarity.

FULL JOURNEY DETAILS

At The Transmission School, Lee will offer a deeply complementary layer to our work with the Five Bodies, especially the Physical, Energetic and Spiritual bodies. His presence and teaching would support students in:

• Cultivating embodied vitality

Daily QiGong sessions to awaken and regulate life force energy, improve circulation, reduce stress and increase groundedness.

• Building emotional fluency through movement

Lee’s somatic approach helps students recognise emotional patterns stored in the body and transform tension into clarity and flow.

• Experiencing energy as a living force

Through Taoist principles and guided practices, participants learn to feel, direct and harmonise subtle energies within themselves and their environment.

• Strengthening the connection between body, breath and awareness

Foundational practices for stabilising the mind, increasing focus, and accessing deeper meditative states.

• Developing resilience and inner balance

Practical tools that students can continue integrating into their daily lives and creative processes.

• A bridge between Eastern wisdom and contemporary transformation

Lee’s teaching style is clear, accessible and immediately applicable, making him an excellent guide for students entering or deepening their journey with energy awareness.
