AUTUMN INSIDE- AMSTERDAM: GRIEF, LETTING GO AND RETURNING HOME
October 7
AMSTERDAM
IN PERSON
@ De Nieuwe Yoga School
10:00 – 14:00 (10-2)
$100
Through archetypal qigong and the nature-based teachings of Chinese 5 Element Cosmology, we will be exploring and tending specifically to the season and cycle of Autumn and the Metal Element in our bodies and lives and preparing the ground for our passage into Winter and the Water Element, a time for profound replenishment, incubation and rest.
The expression and exploration of Archetypal Qigong is a somatic participation in medicinal gestures that offer us maps, mirrors and potent energetic medicine. Through the forms we literally move our way into a conversation with the wisdom, resources, and deep memory of the archetypal world of patterns and stories that hold keys to our potential, integration, and creative power. Each form holds a different medicine. What is it to inhabit and cultivate patterns of discernment, letting go, surrender, protection, courage, consolidation, trust? Archetypal Qigong helps us meet the ever-evolving world by shifting us from mere ideals into a felt-sense inhabitance of life’s vital energies.
