A Winter We Have Never Known Before :

How to find warmth, nourishment and connection in Winter 2020

This is a collaborative afternoon class with Claire Cummings at Juniper Healing Arts.

Christmas will be different this year. Some of our usual sources of comfort and warmth in wintertime may not be available to us due to the realities of the global pandemic. We are contending with many unknowns and interruptions. 

Under stress we may seek quick forms of comfort like sugar, TV, and other substances that do the job of numbing out our distress. These can be good in moderation, but there are other ways of bringing warmth into the wintertime that can sustain us more deeply, without draining our reserves.

Claire Cummings and Luka Symons will host an exploration of nourishment in wintertime, engaging with our emotional and spiritual as well as physical wellbeing. You are invited to light a candle and prepare your favourite tea or comfort drink in a ritual of self care and gather with us. 

The format will be conversational -- Luka and Claire will discuss how the particular qualities of this season influence how we nourish ourselves and how we relate to our food.

Claire will share insights from Classical Chinese Medicine and energy work about how to tap into the energetics of this season to support us at a challenging time of year.

 

Luka will provide simple and practical suggestions for how to engage in comfort and nourishment of our whole selves.
