**“The Five Elements in Practice: Foundations of Holistic Health,” ** introduces participants to the core principles of the Five Element Theory in Chinese Medicine—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. In the first block, students explore the elemental qualities, their cosmological origins, and how they correspond to nature, seasons, and organ systems in the body. Foundational concepts such as Yin-Yang and the generating and controlling cycles are introduced, along with guided meditations, journaling, and observation exercises that encourage learners to reflect on their personal elemental tendencies and deepen their connection to the natural world.

In the second session the focus shifts to how each element manifests in both physical and mental health. Students learn to identify symptoms of imbalance in organ systems—like digestive issues linked to Earth (Spleen/Stomach) or respiratory conditions linked to Metal (Lung/Large Intestine)—and understand the emotional associations of each element, such as grief (Metal), worry (Earth), and anger (Wood). Through journaling, movement exercises, and breathing techniques, participants gain practical tools to observe and begin to regulate their own patterns. Simple food therapy and lifestyle adjustments are introduced to support elemental balance.

The final session brings it all together by offering students personalized ways to apply Five Element Theory in daily life. They create individual wellness plans aligned with seasonal rhythms and elemental needs, integrating practices such as acupressure, meridian stretching, sound healing, and environmental alignment.
