5 Element based healing movement and somatic meditation practices happen in 6 week series at the beginning of each season. These are guided practices you can do in the sanctuary of your own space. The intention is self-care, nourishment, unwinding, grounding, re-membering, finding pathways into presence in your body in the present moment. There is typically self-bodywork, some stretching with slowness and attention to create innerspace, some qigong and/or nei gong, and some somatic meditation - which just means I will guide you to listen to your body/sensation in particular ways to support your presence and opening into a healing state. 5 Element Chinese Medicine has 5 Seasons - Water/Winter, Wood/Spring, Fire/Summer, Earth/Late Summer- Harvest, and Metal/Fall. Aligning with the cyclical nature of earth, soul, spirit, and cosmos our human nature can unfold in accord with life and we can aware of, welcome, and enjoy change.
