What we do: using the simplicity and natural movement that is tai chi, we walk, pause, immerse ourselves in the feeling of nature, the feeling of life in our bodies and the feeling of life under our feet, over our heads,  inside of us and all around us.

We find places where we tai chi together or simply take time to be alone in the landscape, tuning to the natural world, connecting with the ‘spirit of place’ in a variety of settings.

You'll notice with the timing that sometimes a Chi Walk is designed to fit with the natural world rather than for convenience.  If the timing seems odd, it'll be set to give the richest, fullest experience influenced by the season, ​the sea, the moon, the sun.... 
April 30 2023 : Spring Chi Walk at Andrew's Wood
In association with Devon Wildlife Trust
and the Saving Devon's Treescapes Project
​
​So much life, so much birdsong, so many different shades of green on our spring chi walk!
​
A greeting from the chaffinch and oak leaves bursting forth on the big tree in the car park. Then hazel, hawthorn, snails on the blackthorn, a swallow over the field of dandelion clocks. Beautiful crab apple blossom, a chorus of chiff-chaffs, harts tongue ferns unfurling.  Buzzard, bluebells, beautiful stitchwort....

Taking time to breathe, to listen, to tai chi, to learn about the trees. Ash and mountain ash (rowan), oak, willow, birch, hazel, hawthorn, blackthorn...more....

 A beautiful winter's morning at Andrew's Wood
The trees' branches bare of leaves 
show their shapes clearly against the pale,
bright January sky
buds promising the coming of spring

I'm so happy that you are happy at the thought of the Barn Owl box ... just wonderful".

A mid-summer evening at Hound Tor
​Sunday 11th June 2022 from Hound Tor Car Park

An evening mid-summer chi walk on Dartmoor starting from Hound Tor carpark, walking across to the Bowerman's nose, with gradually setting sun and rising full moon, wonderful light and long summer shadows, stonechat, skylark, space and sky and the rare treat of a cuckoo close by when we paused for a little tai chi at the top of the hill...oh...and excellent tea and carrot cake too.
