Welcome to Gathering Essence

We teach Embodied Biodynamic Meditation and Movement from our studio in Edinburgh and online. Our classes are a comprehensive toolkit for conscious living that can be integrated into everyday life to nourish and cultivate the body, mind, and spirit.

Drawing from Daoist and Buddhist movement and meditation practices as well as modern Biodynamic understanding, we offer weekly classes (in person and online), weekend workshops and residential retreats. Our practice combines Daoyin Qigong and Taiji forms with a deepening exploration into the Biodynamic nature of embodied consciousness.
