Moving with the Elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water

This session ended on February 11. The remaining sessions were cancelled.

With Denise Nadeau (DMIN, MDIV, BMPC)

This workshop series will provide tools to work with earth, air, fire and water as resources for health and wellness.  We will explore our internal and external relationship with these elements, draw on spiritual teachings about earth, air, fire and water from various traditions, learn healing lessons from each element and consider how we can defend and protect their sacred powers. Using movement, dance, presence skills, chi gong and ritual, we will develop a more enlivened, relaxed, and caring relationship with our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual bodies.  People of all ages and ability levels are welcome.

What you can expect from this series:

• ·         Different ways of exploring an element including experiential anatomy, dance, drawing, and listening with all senses

• ·         Learning body skills to assist in grounding your energy and feeling the flow of energy within and with the environment outside

• ·         Learn a series of gentle movements from chi gong that refresh and vitalize specific organs

• ·         Share spiritual teachings from our traditions about earth, air , fire and water
