In this workshop, we’ll touch on many things that will make it easier to embrace fall and prepare for winter. In addition to actual balance enhancing practices (day and night are in balance on the Equinox, after all) we’ll use tools from Qigong to bolster our immune systems, explore teas that support mood and ward off illnesses and look at what both Western science and psychotherapy say about seasonal adjustment.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has a lot to offer about transitions, especially this tricky one as Summer ends. The Lung Meridian (acupuncture) is associated with unmet grief and judgement. In its optimal form, it supports discernment, learning, reflection and inspiration.
We’ll honor the season with gratitude, while protecting ourselves from S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder), that can arise in this quieter time. And we’ll explore embracing Hygge, or coziness, in our very own ways.
