Qi Gong, Chinese Medicine & Fire Horse Personalised Predictions
Saturday 7th February 2026 | Steyning, Sussex
Spring is the season of awakening and new beginnings — the time in the year when energy starts to rise, creativity stirs, and we begin planting the seeds for the months ahead. In Chinese medicine, spring is governed by the Wood element, supporting flexibility, vision, emotional flow, and healthy direction in life.
This special Chinese New Year day retreat in Steyning is aligned with the powerful shift into the Year of the Fire Horse (2026) — a bold, heart-led year associated with momentum, visibility, confidence, and purposeful change.
As part of the day, you’ll receive your personalised Fire Horse Chinese New Year insight, created using your birth details, to help you understand how this year’s energy will influence your:
-
Health & vitality
-
Emotional wellbeing
-
Work & life direction
-
Personal growth & decision-making
