Start your weekend with calm and clarity: Violets in Bloom in Elkins Park is offering free Sunrise Mindfulness Meditation every Saturday at 8:30 a.m. The practice invites participants to pause, breathe, and experience the stillness of the present moment before stepping into the flow of the day.

Right after meditation, guests can join an all levels Sunrise Qigong with Sifu Andre at 9am, a gentle movement practice designed to cultivate and circulate Qi, the body’s life force. With slow, intentional movements connected to breath and philosophy, Qigong helps participants deepen their focus and feel more grounded in both body and spirit.

For those looking for a practice during the week, Sunset Qigong is also now offered on Tuesday evenings at 6pm. Violets in Bloom is located at 7906 High School Rd in Elkins Park (Cheltenham Township). To learn more or join in, visit myvioletsinbloom.com.
