SUMMARY:Qigong Exercise
DESCRIPTION:Qigong\, pronounced “chi gong\,” was developed in China thousands of years ago as part of traditional Chinese medicine. It involves using exercises to optimize energy within the body\, mind\, and spirit\, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being. \nThe sessions are led by Truus Jansen. They are informal sessions\, so you don’t currently need to book\, although it’s helpful if you can let us know in advance that you intend to come along as the sessions could become very popular.  You’re advised to wear loose comfortable clothing. \nFor more information\, or to tell us you’re coming contact mina.kakaiya@positiveeast.org.uk

SUMMARY:Ear Acupuncture

SUMMARY:Women's Group - What Women Need
DESCRIPTION:This month we’re delighted to welcome back Rebecca Mbewe – mentor\, speaker and trainer with long standing experience of working in HIV and lived experience of living well with HIV for over 20 years – to guest host a follow up to our September session about What Women Want.  This month we’ll be taking a deep dive into What Women Need – exploring the difference between wants and needs\, and how those needs can best be met. \nOur Women’s Group is a regular social and support group for women living with HIV who either live in East London or if you get your HIV care in an East London clinic.  It usually meet on the 4th Wednesday evening of each month\, but this day and time may vary especially for visits out\, so its best to check these listing regularly. \nIf travel or care costs are a barrier to taking part\, let us know in advance. \nFor more information\, or to tell us you’re coming\, contact Sarah.Boum-Enock by email on sarah.boum-enock@positiveeast.org.uk or call 020 7791 9341
