A COURSE ON THE 5 ELEMENTS

FIRE. EARTH. METAL. WATER. WOOD.

Join us as we do an investigation into the very ancient study of the 5 elements as presented through traditional Chinese philosophy. If you are not already familiar, this presents a rich story of human archetypes as well as the interplay between the elements both within our physical bodies, in our thoughts and motivations, as well as the relations around us. What are the roles of the forces of water, fire, earth, wood and metal in our lives? Which ones do we gravitate to and why? And perhaps most importantly, how can we put this language into some form of practical meaning in our lives?

This class is created to support the online course which you can visit below. There you will find videos. Illustrations and lessons to support the class. It should also be noted that although the study of the 5 elements is often associated with the practice of Chinese medicine, this class focuses on a more general use of the philosophy giving people not interested in an intensive study of Chinese medicine, an opportunity to apply the fundamentals to their daily life and personal evolutionary process.

We will start the class with some simple breathing and stretching, including a handful of easy and low stress chi gong exercises, just as a reminder that healthy energy is the most important part of any practice and then we will do jump into a deep discussion on our main topic. Expect to sit relax and engage. If you would like to bring a notebook that is recommended. This is a donation only class. If you enjoy the course, I have a recommended donation of 20.00. The class will be approximately 1-1.5 hrs long and it will extend into four weekly sessions.

 



WHAT TO EXPECT AT OUR MEETINGS

Our meetings we do QI Gong and energy work to start. Expect to stretch a bit. Breath a bit. Relax for a little bit. Have some tea, and discover that we have far more in common with others than then we often like to admit. We are all uncovering the same wisdom, we are just in different places and phases of our lives. Our groups are often small, so it is an intimate bunch. As mentioned our courses are donation based. You can come and stay for out stretching and qi gong, You do not have to stay for conversation, that is up to you.
