Ignite Your Inner Fire:
Cultivate Joy, Calm & Heart Wisdom
Rediscover Your Spark This Summer
Do you sometimes feel that life is moving so quickly there’s little time left to truly enjoy it?
Between work, family, responsibilities and the constant demands of modern life, it’s easy to lose touch with the things that bring us joy. Even summer, traditionally a season of warmth, connection and celebration, can leave us feeling overstimulated, exhausted or struggling with the heat.
In Chinese medicine, summer belongs to the Fire Element, associated with the Heart, joy, connection and emotional wellbeing. When our Fire energy is balanced, we feel vibrant, open-hearted and connected to ourselves and others. When it’s out of balance, we may experience restlessness, anxiety, disturbed sleep or emotional exhaustion.
Join us for a day of heart-centred self-care in the beautiful Blue Mountains. Through Chinese medicine, seasonal food, Qigong, meditation and reflection, you’ll discover practical ways to nurture your physical, mental and emotional wellbeing — and bring more joy, calm and vitality into everyday life.
Early Bird $185 until 15 January — Save $35
