Harness transformational allies and practical tools from the natural world based on feeling, desire, tongue, and pulse! This class will add technicolor to the honey of flowers and magic of wood New Mexico is laden with. While some interpret Winter as impending doom, and others as a valuable time for introspection, we can signal a soft surrender to shorter days and darker nights by building Kidney Qi and immunity alongside nourishing the water element.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the 8 Principles School: Yin/Yang, Excess/Deficient, Exterior / Interior, Hot/Cold, and 5 Elements: Water/Wood/Fire/Earth/Metal. They are interconnected with each other and can be used as a lens onto deficiency caused by genetics/lifestyle or deficiency begun after an external excess has invaded.
This class will explore the common patterns behind problems and the seasonal herbs that facilitate the shift to improve them. Encourage balance in your body by learning which symptoms correlate with Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and or Metal. You will walk away knowing which common weeds regulate blood, how to distinguish Yin and Yang deficiency, the 3 Treasures of the body, and how reading your tongue and pulse helps inform these! Like Tarot, I-Ching, Yoga, or Research, Tongue and Pulse Diagnostics is a data point for informing the self. Bring a notebook and a mug to this class!
Victoria’s Bio: Victoria is a clinically trained hypnotherapist and herbalist whose practice adds nuance to science and spirit’s attempt to convey the same message, in two different ways. Her close study of botany in Vermont precipitated her interest in locating plants’ inherent desire to benefit human health; with a heart and mind entrained to the woods already, she later studied western and Chinese herbalism in Appalachia and participated in pilot research projects with woodland botanicals that merged the two. Later welcomed by the embrace of wild diversity of plants in the micro-climates of Florida, this began her home of the study of hypnotherapy. Hypnosis can help anything that the mind affects: this has allowed Victoria’s training to flesh out concepts from the New Thought Movement to Oversoul Theory and techniques from Eye Movement Therapy and NLP to Regressions. Taking note of the interplay between mind, emotion and spirit have inspired her to observe how the inner ecosystem correlates with outer ones. She was given insight into these changes by learning to assess Qi and Essence by taking the pulse. She wasn’t surprised to learn that some of the wild vines in the Everglades helped the most common afflictions in the people there. Everyday she strives to learn more on the synchronicities and folkways of plants and bring them into the context of herbal medicine!
