This immersive weekend will explore the Element of Metal.
This element helps us establish and maintain clear boundaries. Helps us open to our natural breath and helps us understand what is right for us - what to say YES to and what to say NO to. It helps us sort our SHIT out - allowing us to release with ease what is no longer serving us.
The Metal element also helps us draw in what we DO want - and helps us release any abundance issues and blocks.
We will work with Wei-chi - our protective chi - which strengthens the immune system and creates a protective energy shield around us.
We will be introducing External Chi fields -how to access them and draw energy from them.
*Action of the Lungs and Large Intestine
*Breathing forms
*Strengthening Wei Chi, using Spheres, synchronising movement and awareness of boundaries
*The Tiger forms
*Lung and Skin the boundaries of the body
*Wei Chi and the Immune System
This is an amazing practice to set us up into our Autumnal season - these forms will be invaluable as the winter kicks in and we have done a few months of immune forms to keep us tanked up. The herbs also from this module help us strengthen and enliven our natural immunity, enhance clarity in our boundaries and make our breath easeful and full.
“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””
Elemental Alchemy - Qi Gong + Energy Medicine creates a powerful understanding of our qi (energy) flows. It helps us tap into our intrinsic healing potential for ourselves and for others and to live with optimum vitality. Revitalising our connection to the earth and elementals as well as the heavens and the mystical alchemy alive within us and available for us to tap into anytime.
These weekend immersives can be taken individually or together as a series to become a teacher or for your own depth of practice (there are 10 in each series)
Taken as a series over one or two years you will experience a deep and profound cleansing and rejuvenation of your whole system as we move through the elements (including organs and meridians for each element) and then into the deeper chi flows of the alchemy series.
As part of these immersives and training modules, using Willa's knowledge as a medicine woman, we also tap into plant medicine, tea ceremony and essential oils for each element - using all our senses to unlock powerful healing and rejuvenation.
Elemental Alchemy incorporates classic styles and philosophies with modern bodymind and energy concepts. The approach explores body and qi awareness as a way to deepen into our internal qi flow through movement, stillness, meditation and breath. We open to creative space to allow our essential nature to express itself and bring about transformation. The approach emphasizes the five elements as the foundation of our energy medicine.
The immersives are an ongoing series that participants can enter at any point. The immersives can either be attended individually or as a whole series.
There are ten, 2 day immersives and the overall intention of the program is to introduce Elemental Alchemy as a way to open to a deeper and richer connection to the life force within the human system and within nature. In particular to listen and be aware of the subtle power of your own health and become aware of movements of qi within your body and mind. To build resilience in our systems and create the platform for growth, expansion and awareness.
The immersives will teach the following skills:
* Self reflection
*Stability and groundedness
*Stillness of the body and mind
*Sensitivity to qi (energy/lifeforce)
*Use of intention
*Strength, stamina and flexibility
*Synchronisity of movement, along with an understanding and appreciation of the body's structure, traditional Chinese medical concepts and Taoist philosophy.
