Creation Cycle: Wood

A 5 part monthly class series to illumnate the Five Elements

In-person at Philosophical Research Society

Limbs loosen and elongate from the hold of winter’s stillness. It’s time to wake up, unfurl your arms, and stretch your legs as we take our next step in the Five Elements cycle of creativity. This phase is the seedling’s emergence, blinking eyes wide to familiarize as the sun’s illumination tempts us forward to grow, to explore, to change. Free of expectations, this class will focus on how to harness emptiness within the rapidly changing landscape of birthing a new work. Imperfection is where everything manifests. In play and error, we’ll bear witness to evolutionary expansion. Through meditation, lecture, qi gong, and at-home creative exercises, wood’s budding insights will enliven us in this 2-hour class.

The Creation Cycle class series is a tool for anyone participating in acts of creation. Together, we’ll make our way through the philosophy of the Five Elements to witness the enduring cycles of our dear Earth and our own co-creation of the world around us.

Each month, we’ll meet on the first Wednesday at the Philosophical Research Society and explore a new elemental step in the creative process. Participants are welcome to join all five classes or skip around, depending on their own curiosities.

Creation Cycle: Water

A 5 part monthly class series to illumnate the Five Elements

In-person at Philosophical Research Society

Submerge yourself in the supreme yin. Within the dark fertile stillness of water, we’ll enter our monthly class series journeying through the elemental cycle of creativity. Water is resting - retreat to replete before leaping forward. Passive reception and deep internal navigation prepare us to dive within the inky realms and illuminate a glimpse of the mystery. Through meditation, lecture, qi gong, and at-home creative exercises, the wellspring of water’s wisdom will consume us all in this 2-hour class.
