The Alchemy of Autumn

Saturday, November 1st, 2025 at 6:30pm

As nature releases what no longer serves, autumn invites us to do the same. But how do we know what to keep and what to let go?

Join Portland-based Alchemical Acupuncturist, Qigong instructor, and Meditation guide Christopher Miller for an evening exploring autumn's wisdom through the lens of Taoist wisdom and Chinese Medicine.

Autumn belongs to the Metal element—the season of discernment and distillation. This workshop offers practical tools to align your body, mind, and spirit with nature's rhythms during this powerful transition.

You'll experience:

• The foundational principles of Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements in everyday life
• Why autumn affects your lungs, skin, and digestion (and what to do about it)
• Specific foods and practices to support your immune system through winter
• Gentle Qigong movements for releasing what no longer serves
• Guided meditation for clarity and grounding
• Journal prompts for personal reflection

You'll leave with:

• A seasonal nutrition guide
• Morning and evening practices for autumn
• Clear understanding of your body's seasonal needs
• Community connection with others seeking alignment

Perfect for anyone experiencing seasonal transitions, exploring Taoist Wisdom for the first time, or deepening their existing practice.

What to bring: Comfortable clothes for gentle movement, journal, and an open mind.
