The Water Circle

The intention of this 1 Day gathering will be to utilize the 5 Elements as a mirror to help us build energy reserves in the Winter months. 

In Western Washington State, Water is synonymous with the Winter months, and in Chinese medicine, Water is the season that corresponds with Winter. We all know the effects Winter can have on our physical bodies and mental attitudes. The effects of dampness, shorter days of daylight, and cooler temperatures can impact our usual daily routines. Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD  can bring some challenges.  

In this circle, we will encourage group members to share their strategies regarding seasonal changes and it’s impact. We will utilize 5 Element and Systemic Constellations, dietary suggestions, group support, and energy building exercises to help nurture and build our reserves.
  
 Winter’s cold minimizes the activity of plants and animals alike. In the cycle of the day, Water governs night and sleep. At night, most people and businesses lie dormant, restoring their energies for another day. At this time, our tissues, cells, and organs rest in a state of reduced activity that engenders repair. The dormancy of sleep epitomizes the character of the Water Element when it is at a state of stillness. 

This daily cycle can be seen in the Winter months. Oftentimes, we sleep more in the winter. We reflect the stasis of the natural world around us. The Kidneys and Bladder are considered the 2 organs (yin and yang batteries) belonging to the Water element.  

If your body seems prone to having urinary tract problems, knee and back problems, nervous system disorders (MS, cerebral palsy), weak bones and teeth, hearing problems, sexual dysfunction, and adrenal gland issues, this workshop can be a helpful support to find new solutions…….

In this healing “circle”, we will gently examine healing our bodies. With love, humor, and patience, we will look at our strengths, human nature, burdens and entanglements, to see, bring light, and provide an environment to feel and release, and bring balance to our bodies.
