*first Wednesday of each month September - January (final class on *January 8th)
Return to center and watch the fruit ripen to burst and nourish. The earth phase within the creative cycle of the Five Elements offers stability as the fruits of our labor are now ready for consumption. Together we’ll sink into embodying reciprocity in the dynamic movements between offering outward and integrating inward. Creation will coalesce in the earth phase of this class series as we prepare for the harvest. Through meditation, lecture, qi gong, and at-home creative exercises, earth’s noble stability will hold us in this 2-hour class.
The Creation Cycle class series is a tool for anyone participating in acts of creation. Together, we’ll make our way through the philosophy of the Five Elements to witness the enduring cycles of our dear Earth and our own co-creation of the world around us.
Each month, we’ll meet on the first Wednesday and explore a new elemental step in the creative process. Participants are welcome to join all five classes or skip around, depending on their own curiosities.
