Qigong with Dawa (Natimuk Wellness Project)

📍Location: ArapilesFlow Movement Studio, 117 Main Street, Natimuk (enter via Depot Lane)

Qigong can be roughly translated to vital force skill. It is an ancient Chinese healing practice which has its roots tracing back to the founder of Chinese Medicine, the legendary Yellow Emperor (2696–2598 B.C) or perhaps even earlier, developing from ancient Shamanistic practices. Qigong incorporates soft and flowing movements in harmony with deep, gentle, natural breathing

Dawa spent 5 years in China learning Qigong and will be sharing a simple age old Qigong practice to promote vitality, nourish and liberate the joints, stimulate the flow of blood, clear the mind, improve balance and connect with nature.

Dawa discovered his passion for rock climbing at 14, favoring the cliffs of Djurite (Mount Arapiles) and Gariwerd (The Grampians) over the classroom. At 19, his climbing adventures took him abroad to Thailand, Spain, England, and France, where he also discovered juggling. This led him to pursue a Bachelor of Circus Arts at the National Institute of Circus Arts, followed by further training in France. Over four years, he performed across Europe and the Middle East before co-founding ‘Wobbly Spoon’ in 2012 and undertaking a Cultural Arts Exchange in Georgia. Seeking a holistic approach to movement, he and No Mi spent five years in China studying qigong, meditation, and nutritional healing, earning a Qigong Instructor accreditation. Returning to Australia in 2020, Dawa completed a Diploma of Remedial Massage and now runs his own clinic while leading ‘Circus Jam’ with No Mi, climbing at Djurite, and working as a qualified climbing instructor.
