As the Five Element wheel turns, we transition into the expansiveness and warmth of the season of Fire - the time of year when the sun is at its highest, energy is abundant, and joy is in full bloom. The Fire phase within the Five Element wheel governs the heart and small intestine, responsible for circulation, emotional balance, and joy. To help you align with this vibrant energy, we invite you to join Holly Brocklebank from Innate Being Therapies and Angie Liu from Piniri Wellbeing for a transformative Summer Celebration Fire Element Mini Retreat, where we’ll explore the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its connection to the Fire Phase.
Date: 23 November 2024
Where: MacKillop House, 50 Archibald Street Lyneham ACT
When: 9am to 1pm with light refreshments. You are also welcome to bring a summer inspired plate to share to help embrace the Fire element’s time of connection to community.
Cost: $115 early bird (until 8 November 24), $130 standard (from 9 November)

In this immersive experience, you’ll learn how to balance the intensity of the summer heat, both physically and emotionally through heart-centred practices that nourish your Shen (spirit) and bring harmony into your life. The Shen - the spirit that resides in the heart - must feel safe to flourish. When our body and mind are grounded and calm, the Shen feels supported, allowing us to open up to joy, abundance and connection. Without this sense of grounding, the Shen may become unsettled, leading to emotional turbulence or restlessness. However, when we take time to root ourselves in practices like Qigong, meditation, mindful movement, we create a stable foundation for the Shen. This balance opens the heart to receive the fullness of summer’s energy, cultivating deep joy and emotional wellbeing.
What to Expect:
🔥Heart-opening Qigong: Engage in gentle yet powerful Qigong practices designed to balance the Fire element, and explore how deep meditative movements help to calm your Shen and open your heart and promote a deep sense of peace and joy.
🔥Meditation for the Shen: Discover meditative techniques that calm the mind, nurture your Shen, and foster emotional clarity. These meditations are specifically designed to help you align with the energy of Summer
🔥Embodied Movement: Be guided on a journey to help you embrace the passion of the Fire element through embodied movement and ecstatic dance, helping to release any emotional stagnation and welcome the vibrant energy of the season
🔥Nourishment for the Season: Learn how to incorporate seasonal practices into your daily life, including dietary tips, cooling foods and self-care rituals to keep your inner flame balanced during the hottest months.
🔥Connection & Community: Summer is a time of connection - both with others and yourself. This mini retreat provides a safe, supportive space to share experiences, build community, and celebrate the joy of the Fire Element together.
This workshop is a perfect opportunity to align with the natural rhythms of the Five Element cycle, balancing the peak of the Yang energy while taking care of your heart and spirit. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and equipped with practical tools to carry the joy of the Fire element into your daily life.
Whether you’re new to TCM or looking to deepending your practice, this mini retreat is designed to uplift and empower you, allowing you to embody the essence of summer’s fire while staying cool, calm and connected.
