Qigong is part of traditional Chinese medicine and it is widely used as a moving meditation for health. Suitable for men and women. This Qigong session will be accompanied by some ambient background music to encourage relaxation.
Afterwards, participants are welcome to sit and enjoy a hot drink and tasty treat, courtesy of The Coffee Cart.
This event is part of a programme aimed at people aged 50+. It is part of a wider project called Waterside Together.
Waterside Together is a shared green spaces events and festival project which aims to reanimate spaces that are perceived as belonging to the 'other community', transforming them into areas that are open, welcoming, and safe for all members of the Waterside community. Programmes will be delivered in parks, greenways and community spaces, targeting a range of participants including families, children and young people, older people, and members of the BAME community. Part of the programme will be a shared spaces festival that promotes the collective usage of the green infrastructure in the Waterside and which encourages the movement of people to areas that they would not usually use for recreational purposes.
Waterside Together is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) and funded under the theme of Community Regeneration and Transformation, and it is also funded through Derry City and Strabane District Council's PEACEPLUS Local Co-Designed Action Plan.
Waterside Together is delivered by Waterside Neighbourhood Partnership.
