AUTUMN WITHIN
Qigong & Meditation for the Metal Element
As the season turns inward, Autumn invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and release what we no longer need. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Autumn corresponds to the Metal Element, associated with the Lung and Large Intestine. Metal teaches us about breath, boundaries, discernment, and the natural rhythm of receiving and letting go.
Join me for this four-week journey and discover how to:
-
Cultivate a deeper understanding of the Metal Element and its connection to Autumn, the Lung, Large Intestine, breath, and the Po — the Corporeal Soul.
-
Explore the art of release through gentle Qigong, breathwork, meditation, and mindful movement, creating space for greater ease, clarity, and presence.
-
Develop a nourishing home practice that supports you in moving through life's transitions with greater awareness, groundedness, and inner clarity.
Week 1: Returning to the Breath
We begin with the Lung and the fundamental rhythm of receiving and releasing. Through gentle Qigong, breath awareness, and meditation, we'll explore how the breath creates space within the body and connects our inner world with the world around us.
What am I ready to receive?
Week 2: The Art of Letting Go
This week, we turn toward the Large Intestine and the wisdom of elimination and release.
Just as Autumn invites the trees to let go of what has completed its season, we too can explore what we may be carrying that is ready to be released.
What am I ready to let go of?
Week 3: The Po — Listening to the Body
This week, we explore the Po 魄, the Corporeal Soul, associated with the Lung and Metal.
The Po connects us with our embodied, instinctive awareness—the part of us that senses, feels, breathes, and experiences life directly through the body.
What does my body know before my mind explains it?
Week 4: Refinement & Inner Clarity
In our final week, we bring the journey together.
Metal is not only about letting go. It is also about refinement—distilling what is essential and recognizing what is truly worth carrying forward.
What remains when I let the unnecessary fall away?

DISCOVER YOUR ELEMENT
A Five Element Journey Through TCM, Qigong & Self-Discovery
Begin 2027 by coming home to yourself.
A new year often brings questions:
What do I want to create?
What do I want to change?
What do I need more of?
What am I ready to leave behind?
The Five Elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a beautiful framework for exploring these questions through the lens of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal.
Each element carries its own qualities, rhythms, strengths, and challenges. Together, they offer a way to better understand how we respond to change, move through the world, experience relationships, find nourishment, and restore ourselves.
Join me for an intimate 3-hour small-group experience, limited to just 4 participants, designed to help you begin the new year with greater self-awareness, curiosity, and intention.
Through TCM, gentle Qigong, meditation, reflection, and a personalized Five Element assessment, we'll explore your unique elemental patterns and consider what qualities may support you as you move into 2027.
YOUR FIVE ELEMENT JOURNEY
You'll begin with a 40-question Five Element reflection designed to help you explore your elemental tendencies without placing you into a fixed or permanent category.
The intention is not to determine “which element you are.”
Instead, we'll explore:
Which qualities are most present for you right now?
Which patterns may be supporting you?
Where might there be an opportunity for greater balance?
And perhaps most importantly:
What element might you want to cultivate as you enter 2027?
WHAT WE'LL EXPLORE
-
An introduction to the Five Elements and their relationship to the body, emotions, and spirit
