As winter’s stillness settles in, we gather in the heart of the season — around the kitchen, the fire, and the field of our own energy.

This special KitchenQi seasonal celebration invites you to embody the wisdom of the Five Elements through movement, sound, emotion, and nourishment — transforming what you’ve carried this year into pure, vital Qi.

​

Together, we’ll explore how emotion moves through the body — and how expressing it consciously clears and rebalances your energy.
You’ll experience an emotional clearing ritual that engages the organs and their associated emotions:

• Wood / Liver: We’ll scream to release frustration and reclaim our creative flow.

• Metal / Lung: We’ll cry to let go of grief and open to inspiration.

• Water / Kidney: We’ll shake to dissolve fear and awaken courage.

• Fire / Heart: We’ll dance and laugh to expand joy and connection.

• Earth / Stomach & Spleen: We’ll yawn — a deep, primal grounding — to restore harmony and peace.

 

Then, we’ll move into the kitchen — the heart of healing — to prepare and share seasonal dishes that nourish all Five Elements.

Think warming, earthy stews, root vegetables, bitters, and bright winter greens — each dish a meditation in mindful cooking and seasonal balance.

You’ll leave with:

• A deeper understanding of the Five Elements in body, mind, and spirit

• Practical ways to use sound, movement, and food to regulate emotions

• Recipes and rituals for seasonal harmony

• A renewed sense of calm, joy, and energetic flow

This is not just a cooking class — it’s a ceremony of release, renewal, and nourishment.
Come as you are. Leave lighter, freer, and full of Qi.

No previous qigong or cooking experience necessary—all are warmly welcome!
