SUMMARY:Seasonal Self Care | Winter
DESCRIPTION:Return to Stillness:\nStrengthen your Foundation & Reclaim Inner Wisdom IntroductionWinter 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. \nWhen 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. \nThis 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. \nEach workshop stands alone — and the accompanying seasonal eBooks offer ongoing guidance to support your self-care journey all year round. \nThis WorkshopJoin Tania for a restorative day of learning\, reflection\, and gentle movement as we align with the deep\, quiet essence of Winter. Together\, we’ll explore how to protect your reserves\, soothe the nervous system\, and rebuild the foundation that supports energy\, hormone balance\, emotional steadiness\, and resilience. \nWhat We’ll Explore \n\nThe Essence of the Water Element — Jing\, Qi & ShenUnderstand why your foundational energy matters most in winter\, how stress drains your reserves\, and how to rebuild vitality through lifestyle\, rest\, and nourishment.\nStrengthening the Kidneys & AdrenalsLearn simple daily practices that support energy\, hormonal balance\, deep rest\, and emotional steadiness — especially during times of burnout\, midlife change\, or prolonged stress.\nThe Wisdom of StillnessExplore how fear transforms into clarity and insight when we pause\, listen deeply\, and create space for inner guidance.\nBladder & Nervous System CareDiscover how to soothe urgency\, night waking\, adrenal depletion\, and the “tired but wired” feeling through warmth\, hydration rhythms\, gentle movement\, and bladder-supportive strategies.\nWinter Nourishment Without Dampening DigestionLearn which foods and cooking methods best support warmth\, digestion\, fluid balance\, and Kidney energy during winter.\nSeasonal Qigong for Inner StabilityExperience Qigong to calm the nervous system\, strengthen the lower back and core\, ground your energy\, and cultivate a sense of deep inner stillness.\n\nYou’ll leave feeling grounded\, replenished\, and supported — with practical tools to nourish your energy\, calm the mind\, and honour winter’s natural rhythm. \nWhat’s included:\n\nA printed folder of detailed workshop notes \n\n\nMorning and afternoon tea featuring winter-inspired tasters and warming herbal teas \n\n\nGuided meditation and a seasonal Qigong practice \n\n\nA supportive\, nurturing environment of like-minded people \n\n\nPlease bring a plate to share for lunch \nWhat participants say:\n\n“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.” \n\n\n“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.” \n\n\nJoin Us for a Day of Restoration & Inner Strength Winter invites us to rest\, listen within\, and rebuild our reserves. \nJoin us for a nourishing day of learning\, movement\, and quiet reflection. You’ll leave feeling clearer\, steadier\, and more deeply aligned with the season — ready to move through winter with resilience and ease. \n\nEarly bird $185 until Jun 12 — Full price $220 from Jun 13\n\nBook Now!
