The third in our Five Element Series, this workshop will explore ways to support health and wellbeing in late summer through principles of Chinese medicine. The class will be taught by Kim Christensen, licensed acupuncturist and co-owner of Constellation Acupuncture & Healing Arts. 

Lush, humid, and brimming with the bounty of the harvest, late summer has a different vibe than the early days of summer. That’s for good reason - late summer is a season unto itself! According to the Chinese medicine five element system, each of the five seasons corresponds to a different element, energetic meridian, taste, emotion, and more. Late summer corresponds to the Earth element, nurturing our digestive systems and our sense of “grounding”, and providing the ultimate source of nourishment and support. 

In this 60 minute workshop, we will explore the influence of the Earth element in the season of late summer and how this impacts body, mind, and spirit. You will learn actionable ways to support your health and wellbeing through food therapy, lifestyle practices, and self-acupressure, inviting greater ease through the seasonal transitions.

Stay tuned for our upcoming Five Element series classes for fall and winter!
