Instructor: Patricia Kyritsi Howell, RH (AHG)
At the center of all healing traditions is this understanding: the essential energy and rhythm of the Earth manifests in and profoundly affects health and well-being. Our task as healers is to sharpen our ability to recognize how this energy moves through us and around us, so we can help bring it into balance. As a metaphor, the Five Elements concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a profound way to understand the patterns that permeate and affect every living thing.
This series explores the distinctive ways that elemental energies create symptoms of health and disease in the body, mind and spirit, and provides specific guidance for working with them.
Using this simple, easily understood framework, you will begin to recognize patterns of strength and weakness in a radically new way. We’ll examine each of the Five Elements and how they are expressed in health, personality/character and psycho-spiritual well-being. Topics covered also include depressive states associated with each element.
This is an intermediate level course. Students should have a fundamental understanding of the use of herbal medicines. Preparatory reading suggestions are available upon request, simply contact us.
