Move With the Wisdom of the Elements

For the first hour, we will connect with the five Ayurvedic elements: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. Using theater warm-up exercises, we will explore the theories of the five elements with our body and voice. Each element has a positive and a negative pole; by connecting to the neutral space, we can bring those polarities into balance.

We will also connect with the Chinese five elements as they relate to each season and the changes in Nature. We’ll explore these theories through sensing, feeling, and awareness. At the end of the hour, we will go out into the elements and connect directly with Nature in the magical landscape of Wild Heart by the lake.

My hope is to create a safe space where we can experiment and share with one another, creating an ongoing momentum to help one another heal, grow, and learn.
