Embodying the Five Elements | 4-part Series with Magick Makers

Generously hosted by Magick Makers & Kindred Club, join me throughout 2026 for a four-part seasonal series exploring the Taoist five elements through a some combination of movement, breathwork, and meditation drawn from yoga and qigong traditions.

Each workshop will examine the element's role in body and inner life, including its associated heart spirit, before we practice. All levels and experience welcome!

Spring/Wood
May 2, 2–4 PM ET
Spring is the time of renewal. From the tiniest flowers to the tallest trees, new life sprouts around us. As the days grow longer, we emerge from winter's shadow with increased energy and a bounce in our step.

The element of spring is wood, admired for its strength and flexibility. Wood is also associated with vision and imagination — making this the perfect time to dream big and set direction.

Summer/Fire & Earth
August 1, 2–4 PM ET
The buildup of yang energy during spring peaks in summer. Long days and abundant sunshine foster expansion, growth, and plenty of time to bring spring's intentions to fruition. The element of summer is fire, characterized by heat, passion, and inspiration. This is the season to socialize, radiate, and nourish spiritual bonds.

We'll also work with the earth element, associated with late summer's ripening just before the harvest. Often evoked during transitions, earth welcomes a quality of groundedness to temper the exuberance of high summer.

Fall/Metal
October 17, 2-4 PM ET
Autumn is the season for harvesting the essentials and letting go of excess, setting the stage for the inward focus of winter. Just as the trees release their leaves before tucking in for winter, this is a time to create space. Autumn’s element is metal, the most malleable substance in nature. It can be reshaped over and over again without losing integrity, reminding us that letting go doesn’t mean loss.

Winter/Water
January 23, 2027, 2-4 PM ET
Nature goes quiet in winter. What was once vibrant and abundant has retreated into the long night. This is the season to conserve energy, nourishing the seeds that will emerge in spring. Winter’s element is water, more often known for its formlessness and soft power. But the stillness of water in winter evokes the wisdom and bearing of the elders, encouraging us to turn inward for contemplation and reflection.
