Details and outline:

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, we all consist of 5 Elements - Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.

Understanding how they work within ourselves and in the world around us will:

• enhance the natural self-healing ability of our bodies
• improve our relationships with others
• help us live in greater harmony with nature.

During the workshop you will learn:

• 5 Element model principles
• Generation and Control Cycles
• Element manifestations in people and nature

This workshop is dedicated to Autumn & Metal. Working with Metal will help you understand:

• your connection with instinct and spirituality
• your relationship with holding on and letting go – are you unawarely blocking the flow of energy in your life?
• how imbalances of Metal manifest themselves in our emotional, spiritual and physical bodies
• how to support your Metal Element with diet and daily activities
• how to understand your cravings and use Control and Generation Cycles in cooking 😉

We will engage you in multiple activities supporting your journey, like:

• journaling and self-reflection
• meditation
• organ awareness exercises
• 1.5hr long taoist yoga practice supporting Metal Element followed by grief relieving restorative sequence

For the workshop you will need:

• a notebook and a pen (for journaling activity)
• comfortable clothes for yoga practice (mats are available at the studio)
• open mind and curiosity 🙂

We provide a workshop manual in pdf format to all participants.
