Medicine Body Workshop is based on somatic movement and TCM to experience our body and mind in the present moment with all our senses, exploring the wisdom of energy medicine and creativity.
This is an opportunity to dive into a process of direct feeling, sensing, and perceiving through the symbolic meaning of the well, where we can bridge to a deeper sense of creation and healing within.
The well symbolises the water and earth elements, with its precious water deeply rooted in the ground, representing depth, sustenance, and nourishment.
Human nature is basically the same. Just as the well can be deepened to produce clearer water, we can enrich our lives by delving deeply within to tap into our essential nature and reach the true source of nourishment.
Drawing from the insights of the 5 elements, which emphasizes the significance of delving into one’s essential nature, the workshop explores the fluid depth of water and the solidity of earth to cultivate wisdom such as:
Grounding
Nurturing
Reflecting
We will work with felt senses, sensory movement, drawing, and writing to translate our inquiry process, and work as a group and in a partnering format to support each other’s journey.
