The heart plays a greater role than just functioning as a pump. As an organ of connection, it is the seat of many emotions, allowing us to feel joy & pleasure as much as the tender pain of loss. Pulsing with the changing rhythms of our lives, how do we care for our heart, cherishing both its tenderness and strength?
Drawing on both Traditional Chinese Medicine and ‘’Western’’ perspectives, this class will focus on the energetic aspects of the heart, weaving the poetic, the physiologic and the emotional to paint its holistic portrait. We will discuss common ailments that affect our hearts, plant medicine and practices to call in for support & ways to integrate these in our lives.
Whether the heart is broken or full, inspired or mourning, anxious or exalted, plants can teach us to gracefully come back into its center.
