If you’ve been feeling out of sync with the changing seasons or just need a reason to get outside and breathe a little deeper, Cleary Lake Regional Park has got your back – or, more appropriately, your entire being. Come Sunday, November 20, from 11 AM to noon, the park invites you to immerse yourself in Autumn Outdoor Qigong. This isn’t just your typical stretch-and-stroll session. It’s an hour of holistic mind-body alignment, courtesy of teaching artist Scott Stafford, geared towards embracing the seasonal shift.
In more practical terms, here’s what you can expect: a mix of seated and standing sequences, lifted straight from the practices of tai chi and qigong. These forms are all about promoting well-being and balance, exactly what the doctor ordered as we slide into the cooler months. And the best part? No prior experience is necessary, so it’s a level playing field for all attendees, whether you’re a qigong enthusiast or can’t tell tai chi from a chai tea latte.
One thing to remember is to bring a yoga mat or towel – something to keep you comfy when seated because, despite the outdoor venue, comfort remains key. Stafford’s approach is designed to be accessible and modifiable to all levels and abilities, so it’s not about pushing limits; it’s about finding your flow.
Outdoor activities always come with a plan B because let’s face it, Mother Nature plays by her own rules. If the weather decides not to cooperate, the program transitions smoothly to the Cleary Lake Pavilion. Rain or shine, the Qigong experience will persist, so don’t let a gray sky deter you. This event is as free as the air you’ll be deeply inhaling, open to anyone 18 and over. And remember, embracing change, especially that of the seasons, is a vital part of staying grounded and healthy, or so the healthier among us say.

Scott County’s alert
. It’s an opportunity to get in touch with both nature and one’s own internal rhythm – which sounds like just the kind of dual harmony we could all use a bit more of in our lives, doesn’t it?
