Return to Stillness:
Strengthen your Foundation & Reclaim Inner Wisdom
Introduction
Winter is the season of stillness, restoration, and deep nourishment. In Chinese medicine, this is the time of the Water Element, which governs the Kidneys, Bladder, adrenals, and our core energy reserves (Jing). These systems influence not only our stamina and emotional resilience, but also the entire reproductive and hormonal landscape — from menstrual health and fertility to perimenopause and menopause.
When Water is supported, we feel calm, grounded, and well-rested. When depleted, we may experience fatigue, anxiety, irregular cycles, waking through the night, or a sense of inner instability.
This workshop offers practical, nurturing guidance to help you replenish your reserves, soothe the nervous system, and reconnect with your inner wisdom throughout the winter season.
Each workshop stands alone — and the accompanying seasonal eBooks offer ongoing guidance to support your self-care journey all year round.
This Workshop
Join Tania for a restorative day of learning, reflection, and gentle movement as we align with the deep, quiet essence of Winter.

What participants say:
-
“Tania explained the Water Element in such a grounded, practical way that everything suddenly made sense — the fatigue, the fear, the winter blues. I left feeling calmer and more in tune with my body. I’ll definitely be slowing down, keeping my kidneys warm, and starting my mornings with a warm breakfast.”
-
“The blend of theory, food-as-medicine, movement, and emotional insight was perfect. Tania is such a clear, generous communicator. I left with practical steps I can use straight away — better sleep routines, hydration rhythms, and the reminder to actually rest in winter.”
