Explore the Elements: Water

Let’s flow with the element of water and discover its wisdom together! The elements exist within us and all around us. They are always accessible and yet we often feel disconnected from the natural elements in this modern age. Wisdom traditions from cultures around the world offer different approaches for understanding and connecting with the elements, helping us deepen our awareness and integrate them more fully into our daily experiences. In this workshop, we’ll focus on the element of water and its associated qualities of fluidity, clarity, emotional wisdom, and intuition. Through guided practices and shared reflections, we’ll explore how water exists within our internal and external worlds. Drawing from the Tibetan Five Wisdom Families, TCM Five Element Theory, yoga, astrology, tarot, and more, this class weaves together a multicultural, interdisciplinary approach to working with the elements. Expect to engage with meditation, movement, discussion, and experiential learning. We’ll close the session with tea and light refreshments. This workshop can be taken as a standalone class or as part of the Explore the Elements series, which meets five times throughout the year to focus on a different element.
