20.03. The Wood element and spring

Gathering through the changing seasons: a journey through Traditional Chinese Medicine

We warmly invite you to join our workshop series “Gathering through the changing seasons”. Over four evenings in 2024, we want to explore and experience the many methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine together.

The workshops will include short talks on the philosophy of change, the characteristics of the seasons and their associated elements, Chinese and Western herbs, nutrition tips, and Qi Gong and Tai Qi exercises. It will be a time for listening, experiencing and enjoying as we travel through the seasons together.

20.03.: The Wood element and spring

On 20 March 2024, the first day of spring, we begin with the Wood element and the awakening of spring. At this time, energy rises again and a new cycle of the seasons begins. Liver energy brings a joyful anticipation of what is new. At the same time, blockages can make themselves felt particularly painfully and affect our health. Digestive complaints, tiredness, blood pressure problems and headaches become more frequent.

Together we will explore the particular energy of spring and the Wood element. We will learn how herbs, nutrition, Qi Gong and Tai Qi can support the Wood element. Along the way, we will taste various dishes, fruits, herbs and teas, all associated with the Wood element. A nourishing strengthening soup is also on the programme. Afterwards, we will enjoy relaxed time together to chat and share.

The talks will partly be given in two languages (German and Chinese) so that all participants can follow the content well.

When:

• Date: 20 March 2024
• Time: 6–8 pm
• Location: Pfeilgasse
• Fee: €30 per evening

We look forward to inspiring and enriching gatherings through the changing seasons, in cooperation with the Wiener Schule für Traditionelle Chinesische Medizin (WSTCM GmbH).
