Creating Harmony
We’re so happy you’ve decided to join us as we embark on a weeklong adventure together.
There are No Accidents
Each season seamlessly folds into the other. There are no mistakes and no one is managing the process! Simply put, it’s natural wisdom. Think about how this happens. Winter, is a time to slow down, reflect, and to accumulate energy. Then, as Spring approaches, the energetic reserves produce new, vibrant life. Each season has its own duty and natural requirement. Here are a few things you can do to support yourself this season.
Stay Warm
Stay warm! Winter is related to Kidney Qi. Kidney likes to be warm not cold. Include more soups and tea in your diet.
Reflect
Take time to reflect and build up your energy. Cut-back on draining mental and physical activity. Relax, read a book, meditate, do more Qigong.
Rest
Go to sleep earlier and no devices after 8:00 PM.
Everything is Energy
In Chinese culture, animal signs are assigned to different birth years in cycles of 12 with 5 cycles completing every 60 years. Your animal sign carries a consciousness that may help you understand some of your potential. Download this booklet to learn about your animal sign. ZodiacBooklet

Ever Evolving Journey
Nature transforms season after season. She shows us how to proceed through life gracefully. Winter is a time of deep rest–no growth, no movement. It’s a time to absorb. This consciousness, if we tap into it, will support personal transformations.
“If you follow Natural Law, you will recognize yourself. The combination of Chinese medicine and Qigong practice create a unique healing path to help you mentally and physically discover your innate potential.” Grand Master Nan Lu
Five Element Consciousness
The Five Element Consciousness Framework offers us a guide to understand our connection to Nature and the Universe. Energetically, our organs communicate with Nature and with one another. They constantly strive to keep the body in balance. To understand signals of imbalance, the ancient Chinese doctors turned to the Five Element chart. There are many layers to understand when studying this chart, so we’ll start with just a few.
Each organ resonates with the vibration of a different season, emotion, taste and color. Notice the element associated with the Kidney: water. Now look at the taste: salty, the color: black and the emotion: fear. Do you resonate with any of these signs? Are you drawn to wearing black continually? How about salty foods? Sound appealing? That’s your body communicating its needs.
Take some time to study the Five Element chart below and unravel your own messages.
Kidney/Bladder: Associated with the Water element and the Winter season.
Liver/Gallbladder: Associated with the Wood element and the Spring season.
Heart/Small Intestine: Associated with the Fire element and the Summer season.
Spleen/Stomach: Associated with the Earth element and the Late Summer season.
Lung/Large Intestine: Associated with the Metal element and the Fall season.
