Tai Chi has changed my life

🌿 Invitation to Readers
Over the past few weeks I have been writing a new mini series that explores the quiet work of returning to yourself. It is gentle, reflective, and rooted in the kind of truth that arrives slowly, the kind that settles in the body before it reaches the mind.
If you have ever felt shaped by old expectations, if you have ever softened yourself to keep the peace, if you have ever wondered who you might be without all the learned behaviours that once kept you safe, this series may speak to you.
It is called Deconditioning and it follows a simple path:
• seeing the old patterns
• understanding where they came from
• releasing what no longer belongs
• and slowly reclaiming the parts of yourself that were never lost, only quiet
Each piece is short and spacious, something you can read in a few breaths. I am releasing them twice a week on Substack, and you are very welcome to join me there.
If you feel called to explore this journey of returning to your centre, you can subscribe here: https://frankfarrer1.substack.com/ It is Free I would love to have you with me.

A gentle archive of reflections, rituals, and poetic breathwork—where movement meets meaning, and legacy unfolds in quiet rebellion. For seekers, facilitators, and those who walk their own line. Click to read The Circle Within, by Frank Farrer, a Substack publication. Launched 5 months ago.

“If you want to begin returning to yourself in 2026, start with weekly Tai Chi & Qigong classes.”

🌿 **January Tai Chi & Qigong Returns A Sanctuary for Your Nervous System**

As we step out of the long night of winter and into the quiet beginnings of a new year, I’m opening the doors again to our **weekly Qigong Sanctuary classes**.

These sessions are a place to soften, to breathe, and to return to yourself, especially if you’ve been feeling numb, sensitive, overwhelmed, or simply tired from the year we’ve just lived through.

**Tai Chi & Qigong begins again in January.
All are welcome — beginners, returners, and the quietly curious.**

Each class offers:

- gentle movement
- grounding breath
- nervous system regulation
- space to release what you no longer need
- a soft, steady rhythm to anchor your week

You don’t need experience.
You don’t need flexibility.
You don’t need to “get it right.”
You just need to arrive as you are.

**This is your 90 mins of sanctuary.**

If you’ve been longing for a place to feel held, to reconnect with your body, or to rebuild your energy after a difficult year, this is a beautiful place to begin.

**January is the month of returning to yourself.
Let’s begin together.**

Classes return, on the week Beginning the 12th of January 2026

Wednesdays: Hubberston and Hakin Community Centre 7pm £7 per class of 90 mins

Thursdays: The VC Gallery Pembroke Dock 6pm £7 per Class of 90 mins

Message me to join, or to ask anything you need to feel comfortable stepping in.

🌿 Pembroke Dock Class – VC Gallery Update 🌿
Dear friends,
Our Pembroke Dock class at VC Gallery returns this evening 6pm (Thursday 2nd October) for a one-week re-gathering. I’m so looking forward to moving, breathing, and gently reconnecting with you.
Due to a work commitment, there’ll be a pause next week, and we’ll resume fully on Thursday 16th October.
✨ New students are warmly welcome—your first session is free, and the space is beginner-friendly, neurodiversity-aware, and gently held.
To mark this threshold, here’s a short piece from my recent reflections:

With warmth and presence,
Frank
