THE HEART OF SUMMER COLLABORATION with Liz Koch
Single Workshop
Saturday July 1 on ZOOM
9:00-11:30 am MT
$65
This collaborative and stand-alone workshop with Sarah Byrden and Liz Koch will nourish and tend to your Heart energy and Fire Element as we are ushered into the shining power of the Summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. The confluence of our two bodies of work creates a unique alchemy and synergy. Together they touch, awaken, and nourish a deep longed for place, returning us to the truth of our fluid form, to the mystery, miracle, and intelligence of our human life. You will leave this workshop with greater coherence, resilience, and sustenance.
Fire energy graces us with loving generosity, blossoming, expressiveness, aliveness, compassion, shining, spirit and joy. In Chinese Medicine, the organs of Heart and Small Intestine, as well as Pericardium and Triple Burner carry the expression of the Fire Element. Summer is Nature’s call toward fullness, ripeness, the risk of the heart, desire, longing, celebration, and a follow-through to fruition.
If our Fire Element is weak, we can stop short of our desires, shy away from healthy risks, feel a lack of courage, a lack of compassion, “fire”, generosity and love, an inability to express one’s destiny. If our Fire element is overactive, we can be impulsive, ungrounded, erratic, prone to burn out and “flying away” or “too close to the sun”,, overexpressed to the point of exhaustion, thus exhausting and depleting ourselves in a multitude of ways. When the Heart becomes scared, protected or without connection, tenderness and love for too long, we lose our faith in life, and the courage to give love and receive love. We lack the courage to meet the moment with resilience and integrity. We forget the power of the warm sun at the center of our chests.
Join us for this exploration in healing, nourishing and preparing your Heart for its Summer.
