What we do: Chi Walking is pretty much as the name suggests: 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 move together and sometimes simply 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 for the passion of the experience 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....

show their shapes clearly against the pale,
bright January sky
buds promising the coming of spring

"Such a special day yesterday - the combination of people and connections, the place, the elements, the beings - the dippers, the kingfisher, the sheep, the ducks, the damsel flies and dragon flies, the fish, the swallows and house martins, the woodpecker, the tea and Karen's cake in the kitchen. I'm so happy that you are happy at the thought of the Barn Owl box ... just wonderful".

A mid-summer evening from 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.
