A weekend of earthing, qi gong, energy medicine and plant medicine.
In this module we explore the cycles and rythums of nature, tuning into her great wisdom and allowing the soft, still gentle earth to heal us in myriad ways. Tuning into the earth and the earth element automatically reduces tension, reduces inflammation, deepens the breath and calms the nervous system. We also tune into the stomach, spleen and pancreas and bring healing chi to those areas that help us digest life.
How to connect with our Earth body, balancing the digestion and endocrine systems. Tuning into the natural healing qualities of Earth. Bringing stillness and balance. Where doing and Being become one - the earth never hurries. Slowing down to EARTH-pace.
• Exploring the properties of Earth in Nature
• Support Cycle and Control Cycle
• Looking at Stomach and Spleen
• Movements and forms which support the Earth Element in an effortless way
• Monkey Forms
“Owning up to being an animal, a creature of the Earth, Tuning our animal senses to the sensible terrian: blending our skin with the rain-rippled surface of rivers, mingling our ears with the thunder and the thrumming of frogs, and our eyes with the molten grey sky. Feeling the polyrhythmic pulse of this place - this huge windswept body of water and stone… becoming earth. Becoming animal. Becoming, in this manner, fully human. “ David Abram

“Having not experienced qi gong much before I was blown away by how accessible, enjoyable and profound the Elemental Alchemy Earth Element weekend was. I found myself reconnecting in a way I have not for a long time, and the best part was the feeling of connection has stayed with me and seems to be deepening as I continue to practice a little every day. I feel my creativity and enjoyment for life bubbling over and everything seems more manageable and easier to ‘digest’ than usual. The weekend itself was a celebration of movement, breath, nature and wellness and Willa seamlessly wove together the qi gong forms with plant medicine, word wisdom and time in nature. I am deeply grateful for this experience”
