A Journey Through Movement, Breath, Rest, and Renewal
You are invited to soften into, and come home to, the sacred rhythm of natures true seasons — to release what no longer serves, and to replenish what quietly sustains.
............................................................
As we transition from autumn into winter, in this full day Qigong workshop we will meet the wisdom of two of the chinese five elements; metal and water.
✨ Metal, the breath of autumn, offers the courage to let go. It teaches refinement and the beauty of empty space and asks us to consider what is of true value to us. Connected to the lungs and large intestine, it asks us to exhale — to trust the wisdom of release.
💧Water, the still mirror of winter, invites us inward.It holds the strength of quiet reflection and the power of leaning into rest. Linked with the kidneys and bladder, it whispers of restoring our essense, replenishing reserves and opening to the mysteries of the deep.
............................................................
Over the course of the day you will:
- Learn and practice some Five Elements Qigong, along with breathing exercises and meridian self-massage, helping to balance your metal and water elements for seasonal and emotional harmony.
- Discover how living more inline with the cycles of nature can set you up for a truely nourishing and replenishing winter season.
- Spend some time reflecting on and celebrating what is of value to you in life, and considering what might be useful to let go of in order to make space for new.
