Spirit of the Elements: 5 Day CPD course

About the workshop

The Spirit of the Elements A year long training series in five parts to delve deeper into the sophisticated model of the Five Elements (wu xing) and the ways that this perspective can be understood in everyday life to bring health and balance. One of the most accessible ways to understand the Elements is through the qualities of the seasons which offer a direct experience of the nature of each Element. We will explore the resonances, activities and issues of an element during its own season with a blend of theory and practice including qi gong, yoga, and mindful nature walks. ​ This is a perspective that is not just to be studied, but to be lived, explored, pondered and played with, and each Element provides a brand new phase to widen and deepen the spiral of experience and understanding.
