An Evening of Taoist Health & Embodied Wisdom
with Simon Murray
Wednesday 21st January, 2026 @ 6:30-8:30pm
This evening is for those who sense there is more to health than what conventional models alone can explain.
If you’ve felt dissatisfied with one-size-fits-all approaches to wellbeing, or you’re curious about health frameworks that honour rhythm, relationship, energy, and lived experience, this gathering offers a rich and thoughtful exploration.
Simon Murray will guide an accessible discussion of core Taoist health principles, including:
-
Yin and Yang — balance, polarity, and dynamic regulation
-
The Five Elements — understanding patterns, cycles, and constitutional tendencies
-
Xing and Ming — the relationship between essence, vitality, destiny, and lived life
We’ll explore how Taoist approaches to health both differ from and intersect with:
-
Western biomedical models
-
Standard Traditional Chinese Medicine frameworks
This is not about rejecting modern medicine, but about broadening perspective—learning how multiple models can coexist and inform one another, offering deeper insight into your own health, resilience, and capacity for change.
Throughout the evening, these ideas will be gently embodied through specific Qigong practices, allowing you to feel these principles in your own body rather than only understanding them conceptually. The practices will be accessible, grounding, and supportive of nervous system regulation.
There will also be time for reflection and discussion, including space to consider how these perspectives might relate to your own health questions or experiences.
Who this evening is for
-
People curious about integrative and holistic health models
-
Those living with ongoing or complex health concerns who want new ways of understanding their body
-
Yoga, Qigong, and movement practitioners seeking deeper philosophical and practical context
-
Health practitioners interested in complementary perspectives
-
Anyone drawn to a more relational, cyclical, and embodied view of wellbeing
