Eastern Healing Arts
Element Wood -
Liver & Gallbladder
With the transition from winter to spring , the energy of nature begins to move upwards again.
The energy that was accumulated in the element of water during the winter begins to unfold.
Movement arises from the depths – new growth becomes possible.
The element wood symbolizes this new beginning.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the wood element is associated with the liver and gallbladder .
They support the free flow of our life energy, our ability to make decisions, and to clearly align our visions.
Immerse yourself in the world of Eastern healing arts and learn how to activate the energy centers of the Wood element, release stagnant emotions and create space for inner transformation and balance through meditation, Qi Gong, tea, knowledge and Inner Taoist Alchemy.
A space to consciously experience the transition into spring and activate the power of new beginnings within you.

Through:
-
Meditation - Arrival
We begin in silence.
With our eyes closed, we turn our attention inward.
The breath becomes the bridge to this moment.
Here, in the now, we connect with our bodies and the space.
-
Qi Gong – 5 Animal Frolics - The Tiger
With the movements of the animals, we return to our original life force.
Fluent, playful, powerful – each animal embodies a quality that strengthens body, mind, and organ energy.
In late summer, we specifically activate the animal that corresponds to the current element and organ.
Movement becomes medicine.
​
-
Tea & Knowledge
We connect with the wisdom of tea and delve into the deeper meaning of the organ system from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Through mindfulness, we open the inner space for insight and transformation.
Together, we examine which emotional, energetic, and physical blockages can express themselves in each organ.
-
Inner Taoist Alchemy
We direct our attention inward—to where energy is shaped, refined, and transformed.
With breath, mindfulness, and conscious guidance of the mind, we cultivate Qi in the organ realm.
We harmonize the element and emotions, strengthen energies, and connect with the alchemical forces of transformation.
The workshop will be led by:
