What’s On – Events Calendar Weekly

Coming Alive is a new body of work by Edinburgh-based artist Alice Boyle. For many years Alice Boyle has sketched following her daily meditation routine, creating odd and often distorted creatures that come streaming to mind as soon as the pencil hits the paper. In the spring of 2018 she began to bring these characters to life, creating a unique world that is as strange as it is familiar.

Psychoanalyst Carl Jung said that there were things in his dreams that came from somewhere beyond himself: the collective unconscious. Jung claimed that while the collective unconscious is common to all human beings, it is genetically inherited and not shaped by personal experience. Boyle believes we can delve into this realm through sleep, meditation, prayer, ritual or creativity. It’s where all the world’s mythologies come from, making it both frightening and comforting at the same time.

“I am inspired by the power of dreams, mythology and the collective unconscious. I use textures, vivid colours, shapes, symbols and layering techniques, aiming to stimulate the senses while exploring the eternal and intrinsic search for individual wholeness through the process of art and creativity.”
Alice Boyle was born in Scotland and gained a Masters in Interior Architecture from Edinburgh College of Art. In 2006 she co-directed, the internationally acclaimed Graffiti Project at Kelburn Castle near Largs. “The painter Alice Boyle has developed a style and artistic language that she has made entirely her own.” Giles Sutherland, The Times (2017)

Susie and Phil are pleased to offer these two hour sessions, which combine Qi Gong movement and mindful meditation. These practices go so well together, it’s great to be able to offer them both in the same session.

These sessions are open to everyone, from beginners to experienced practitioners.  Qi Gong has a powerful effect on the whole of the body and mind. Every Qi Gong exercise has an effect on the whole energetic system, allowing energy (qi) to flow freely.

It is possible to practice Qi Gong with mobility difficulties – each posture can be adapted, and it is feasible to practice whilst sitting on a chair. Mindfulness is the perfect partner to Qi Gong, as it endeavours to bring body and mind together, to be truly present in this moment. Again, don’t worry about needing to be on the floor for these – you can practice mindfulness in any position that feels comfortable.

Meditation cushions and yoga mats are provided, although if you have your own you may wish to bring them for extra comfort. Please wear clothing that is comfortable for movement.  We have the option of either booking in just for one session, or booking in for two at a reduced price. Please note that we have sessions on the same days at both the Old Pavilion, Linlithgow and The Wee Yoga Room, Bridge of Allan.

You are more than welcome to come to one venue one week, and one the next – just let us know your plans.
Please get in contact with any queries, or to book directly to avoid the booking fee – susie@pauseandbreathe.co.uk
With a smile, Susie & Phil
