Rainer Maria Rilke described Winter as a time to tend to inner our inner gardens. Winter is both a beginning and an ending, it’s the perfect time to bunker down and practice stillness.
Join Katie for WINTER RESONANCE, a morning of nourishment and exploration. Winter Resonance is a practice encompassing, Qi Gong Forms and Guided Meditation. These practices have an affinity with TCM and will be oriented around the meridians of the Kidney, Urinary Bladder, and element of Water. In Chinese Medicine theory, there are five natural elements that exist within us, as they do in nature. Each season belongs to a particular element and has unique correspondences. When we study nature’s patterns and cycles, we can learn how to support our own health and stay well year-round. The Water element belongs to the season of Winter. We make our way from the quieter reflective days of Autumn and slow down into the deeper introspection that Winter lends. The Kidney and Urinary Bladder meridian systems belong to the Water element, and they play a very important role in our overall health and wellbeing. The focus of Winter turns to strengthening the Kidneys and Urinary Bladder, gathering inspiration, and to practice that which we observe in nature: slowing down to stillness, so that we can align to our wisdom.
