This workshop looks at the Wood Element, and can be attended either ONLINE or in-person

The Wood element is the element of growth and transformation and the opening to SPRING. We tune into the magic of spiral - from the universe to our DNA. We will embrace the grace of the DEER. Combining the flows of qi gong, plant medicine and energy medicine we open to cleansing, purifying the liver, letting go of stored anger and creating more room for joy and light in our systems. The Wood Element creates a light delicate flow of Chi through the whole system.

Common symptoms of a liver out of balance and reasons to do WOOD Element are:

• Digestive system imbalance - bloating, rumbly stomach, flatulence, belching

• PMS symptoms before your menstrual cycle

• Headaches behind your eyes

• Light-headedness or dizziness

• Waking up between 1-3am and not being able to get back to sleep.

• Frustration and anger

• If you are also experiencing heart palpitations or shortness of breath or memory loss - this could also be the liver effecting both the heart and spleen

  We will be looking at:

• Liver and Gall Bladder - clearing and strengthening these organs

• Exploring qi gong forms to ensure transformation and increased chi flow

• Relationship between Water and Wood

• Wood and Jing (primal life force)

• Joint suppleness and muscle relaxation

• Deer forms

• Foods to support the WOOD Element and the liver and gallbladder

• Plant medicine and essential oils to support the WOOD element

Elemental Alchemy - Qi Gong + Energy Medicine creates a powerful understanding of our chi (energy) flows. It helps us tap into our intrinsic healing potential for ourselves and for others and to live with optimum vitality. Revitalising our connection to the earth and elementals as well as the heavens and the mystical alchemy alive within us and available for us to tap into anytime.

These workshops can be taken individually or together as a series to become a teacher or for your own depth of practice (there are 10 in each series)

Taken as a series over one or two years you will experience a deep and profound cleansing and rejuvenation of your whole system as we move through the elements (including organs and meridians for each element) and then into the deeper chi flows of the alchemy series.

As part of these modules, using Willa's knowledge as a medicine woman, we also tap into plant medicine, tea ceremony and essential oils for each element - using all our senses to unlock powerful healing and rejuvenation.

Elemental Alchemy incorporates classic styles and philosophies with modern bodymind and energy concepts. The approach explores body and chi awareness as a way to deepen into our internal chi flow through movement, stillness, meditation and breath. We open to creative space to allow our essential nature to express itself and bring about transformations. The approach emphasizes the five elements as the foundation of our energy medicine.
The workshops are an ongoing series that participants can enter at any point. The workshops can either be attended individually or as a whole series.

There are ten, 2 day workshops and the overall intention of the workshops are to present Elemental Alchemy as a way to open to a deeper and richer connection to the life force within the human system and within nature. In particular to listen and be aware of the subtle power of your own health and become aware of movements of qi within your body and mind. To build resilience in our systems and create the platform for growth, expansion and awareness.

The workshops will teach the following skills:

* self reflection

*stability and groundedness

*stillness of the body and mind

*sensitivity to chi

*Use of intention

*Strength, stamina and flexibility
