Why Soul Moves?

In unpredictable times, when things seem to be beyond our control, it is important to have access to tools which help us centre  and come from a real place. We can then live our lives rather than be the victims of circumstance. A Soul Moves day with Richard offers you this opportunity – to re-connect with your own vitality and aliveness, and re-find the inner peace which lies at your centre, just behind the tension.

What is Soul Moves?

It is a movement which brings you closer to your original self, your true self, rather than your habitual ‘survival’ self. Through Soul Moves, Richard brings the formal benefits of Tai Chi in an informal and accessible way, without unnecessary technique or complications.

How does this happen?

We use gentle Tai Chi exercises to enable relaxation and flexibility, and to allow you to experience the principle of stillness in motion. We explore meditation – the art of being present. When you are present you have the ability to make a choice rather than be pulled by old habits of thinking and reactivity.

What can you expect to gain from the day?

• Rest, nourishment, support and inspiration.
• Valuable tools to take back into your life to help you live your life rather than just survive it.
• The opportunity to join longer courses in this work should you wish to continue your exploration.

Pricing Policy & Booking

We aim to make our courses as financially accessible as possible so we offer a range of fees: £45 / £30 / £15. We trust you to choose your option. Please print the flyer and fill in the booking form below to reserve a place.
