Our Five Element Course Returns!
After a too-long hiatus and many requests, we’re finally offering our Five Element class again this fall! I am so excited to dive back into teaching our beautiful Daoist system of medicine. It can truly change the way you see yourself, those around you, and the whole world.
We designed this course for anyone who is curious. If you're one of our patients who has been asking questions about the Elements, a practitioner from a different lineage who wants to understand how to apply the Five Element model in the treatment room (PDAs pending!), or just someone interested in how nature's rhythms mirror our inner lives, this class is for you.
What this course includes
-
The Elements: You’ll learn about the energetics and spirit of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water, as they show up in all of us.
-
The art of diagnosis: Everyone has a ‘home base’ Element and you'll start learning how to recognize people’s constitutional type. It takes years to really hone these skills, but we'll start practicing right away.
-
Virtues and challenges: We will look at the virtues of each element, as well as the spectra of issues that tend to arise for each constitution.
-
For practitioners: An extra 3 hour class at the end of the course will explore how to use Five Element theory in the treatment room.
What class looks like
The Elements are much more alive than lecture alone can convey! In addition to talking about them, we’ll be introducing them directly through listening to recordings, bringing in live guest stars to embody the Elements for you, and of course fun decorations and costumes!
Recordings will be available after each class and for two months after the course ends.
