Saturday, January 25, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., North Beach Inn
— from Stephanie Rosenblatt —
Winter epitomizes Mother Earth’s YIN Cycle. Deciduous trees are bare as their fallen leaves create a blanket of warmth and nourishing energy for seeds and bulbs below. Visually, the starkness creates more space to see
the world around us with a different perspective. Colors are muted, skies grayer, misty…a magical Film Noir at its finest. Now that the days are shorter and our energetic batteries receive less light… it’s a time of reflective hibernation.
Winter Energy invites us to go inward:
- To become contemplative as we dream, gathering our “manifestation seeds” to plant for the coming year and appreciate the importance of living in harmony with the season.
- Understanding the Chinese 5 Elements’ Philosophy and how it relates to Winter’s “Water Energy.”
- Why “hibernation” and meditation serve us well this time of year.
- Discussing nutritious recipes and cooking techniques that fuel the body for the colder weather ahead.
- A guided Manifestation Ritual for your 2020 dreams coming true.
