What is a Seasonal Gathering?
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory there are 5 elements: fire, earth, wood, water, and metal. Each element is associated with its own particular season, emotion, and organ system. Ancient Taoist alchemists based an entire philosophy and healing system on observing these cycles of change in nature. Each element and season brings forth its own alchemy, offering its gifts but also carrying its shadows.
Local
Our seasonal gatherings are curated experiences right here in San Diego, CA. Each season is an opportunity to work with the gifts & life lessons that the element has to teach us.
Community
Our intention is to gather as a community in welcoming the next season of life; just as the seasons change, we too experience various transitions throughout our lives. Let’s celebrate these changes together as we heal in community with the support of others!
Support
Through yoga, breath work, inquiry, sound healing, journaling, creativity & support we access our true nature & let go of what is no longer needed.
Say yes to you!
