Maine Adult Education

The third in a yearlong series of five classes offering an introduction to Chinese medicine’s cycle of the Five Elements and Seasons. Stay tuned for additional classes throughout the year as Meret will be covering all of the seasons! Take one or all!

Explore tools for wellness, including self-acupressure, movement, guided meditation, diet and lifestyle guidelines. Summer is the season of the Fire element, of fullness, joy and play. Yang energy, the heart and small intestine meridians, and staying cool and balanced on a heating planet are among the topics we’ll cover. Each session will end with a circle of feedback and closing.

Note: Students new to this series (i.e., did not attend Winter session) should arrive by 8:30 AM so Meret can get you up to speed on general concepts like Qi, Yin & Yang and the Five elements.

Required: Proof of registration, dress comfortably and bring a yoga mat or blanket.
