The Fire element 火 (Fire - embodiement, definition, action, dynamic phase, design), one of the Traditional Chinese Medicine "Five Elements", is associated with the heart and its partner organ, Small Intestine. When it is unbalanced, you may experience: anxiety, agitation, or disturbed sleep: this is because heart governs blood circulation and houses the Spirit (mind). According to Chinese Medicine which sees a man as a microcosm – the fire element, linked to the heart, the tongue, the bitter and sweet taste and is as well associated with... summertime. The element of fire is expressed in the mind, the eyes sparkle, communication-relationships-intimacy, in the conscious thinking that controls our behaviour and also in the basic activation of various body systems.
During five days of our retreat we will explore and understand how to cultivate our inner fire in the right balance * for us * because each person is a world in its fullness.
Supported by a light and nutritious seasonal diet; vegetarian chef meals, yoga practices, meditation and sound healing alongside practical tools from Chinese Medicine, we will celebrate ourselves, with more wellness and joy.
