In the Healing Love workshops we’ll access the energy of jing, located in the cauldron of the pelvic bowl and produced by the sex organs. All of the energies within the body rely on jing, transforming it for full life vitality. We’ll tap into the sexual/creative force of jing with exercises and meditations along with plenty of time for personal and group reflections and questions. These workshops are introductions to working with this energy, and are for the curious as well as anyone looking to (re)connect to their personal well of inspiration, intuition, and relational prowess.

Happy Earth Season ! A breathing moment, a pause to catch up to yourself. A point to tap into what you see as your equilibrium. A resting place to release tension and anxiety. Earth is a brief season of sweetness, a song, a balancing act. It’s the break to consult the map, see where you are, and assess if that’s where you want to be as the greater transition from yang into yin begins (or yin into yang if you’re in the souther hemisphere.) Taking inventory before you begin to harvest (or bloom), earth is associated with the stomach so it’s the start of processing. Things are still whole, close to how they were before they were introduced to you and your systems. The beginning of integration. So things may feel whole or obvious or the shape of things may stand out to you (what is the object and what is the shadow…) or ideas may feel big before you’re able to dial into detail. This waiting period is here to allow you to access both: the big picture and the minutiae. The patience, the fairness, the starting to digest what’s going on around and within you. Again, there’s a sweetness so trust your gut, let intuition run the show, allow there to be some fun to it. Bring yourself to meet your world <3

Gentle Earth (37 minutes standing, sitting, lying down) Soft entrance into Earth Season/Element by beginning to draw the energy towards the center to locate the body's core in relationship to the larger map of the universe. Working with wrapping the muscles around the bones, finding that deeper architecture to know where to send the qi for storage once we move into the Autumnal/Metal Season. Practice turtle and monkey variation.
