The Five Elements Within A TCM-Inspired Self-Care Series for Women

An Inner Garden Journey with Tea Ritual · Yin Yoga · Deep Lymphatic Self-Massage

Workshop 1: 28 May Thursday:

Restore & Root — Rebuilding from Within Water · Wood · Earth

Workshop 2: 20 June Saturday:

Refine & Radiate — Letting Go & Opening Up Metal · Fire

You've been falling sick more than usual. Life has been a lot lately — and you can feel it in your body.

You know you need to slow down and take better care of yourself. You're just not sure where to start.

This series is your invitation to pause, turn inward, and begin finding your way back to balance.

Our philosophy

In TCM wisdom, we are each a unique mixture of five elemental energies — Water, Wood, Earth, Metal, and Fire. When these are in harmony, we feel grounded, clear, and quietly energised. When they fall out of balance — through stress, overwork, or simply the demands of daily life — we feel it.

This is not about adding more to your plate. It's about learning to listen to what your body is already telling you — and giving it what it actually needs.

Through tea ritual, yin yoga, and deep lymphatic self-massage, we work with your body from the inside out — restoring your inner reserves, releasing what's been building up, and helping you find your way back to a steadier, lighter version of yourself.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

• You've been falling sick more often and know your body needs support
• You've been putting everyone else first and want to turn the focus back to yourself.
• Life has been overwhelming lately and you're ready to ground again
• You want to feel good in your body again — not just get by
• You're curious about TCM wisdom and want a gentle, practical way in

🌊🌱 Restore & Root — Rebuilding from Within

Water · Wood · Earth

Workshop 1 of 2

• Thu 28 May
• 7:30–9:30pm
• Co. @ Duxton

We begin with the full Five Elements framework — so you understand the whole picture of how your body, energy, and emotions are connected. A short self-discovery quiz opens the session, helping you sense which elements might be calling for your attention right now.

From there, we move gently through the first three elements — exploring what balance looks and feels like, recognising the signs of depletion, and practising simple ways to begin rebalancing through movement, touch, and breath.

Water — your inner reservoir

When this runs low, you feel it as bone-deep tiredness, low immunity, or a quiet anxiety you can't quite shake. Working with Water is about learning to replenish — not just rest, but truly restore.

Wood — your inner momentum

When this is blocked, life feels frustrating and stuck. You might hold tension in your body without realising it. Working with Wood is about releasing that tension and finding your way back to clarity and forward movement.

Earth — your inner anchor

When this is unsettled, the mind races, digestion feels off, and nothing feels quite stable. Working with Earth is about coming back to centre — nourished, grounded, and calm.

What you'll experience

A grounding tea ritual to open the senses and settle in. A Five Elements self-discovery quiz — a gentle way to see yourself through a new lens. Meridian-inspired yin yoga — working with the body areas connected to Water, Wood, and Earth. Deep lymphatic self-massage — hands-on techniques to stimulate flow, ease puffiness, and restore energy.

You'll leave with

A clearer sense of your elemental nature and where you need support right now. Practical tools to continue your reset at home — including a custom tea blend, aroma oil, and a self-care booklet.

WORKSHOP 2 OF 2

Refine & Radiate — Letting Go & Opening Up Metal · Fire

• Saturday 20 June
• 3:00–5:00pm
• Co. @ Duxton

Once we've restored the foundation, we turn to the final two elements — the ones that help us release what's accumulated and reconnect with what truly matters.

Workshop 2 can be attended on its own, but flows beautifully as a continuation of Workshop 1. Together, they complete the full Five Elements cycle — from restoration and grounding, to release and radiance.

Metal — your inner clarity

When this is blocked, we hold on long after things have served us — old worries, old grief, old ways of doing. Working with Metal is about learning to let go, creating space for something clearer and lighter to come in.

Fire — your inner warmth

When this dims, life loses its colour. You go through the motions but the joy isn't quite there. Working with Fire is about rekindling that warmth — reconnecting with what lights you up and letting yourself feel it again.

What you'll experience

A warming tea ritual to open and soften. A brief check-in with your Five Elements quiz — noticing what has shifted since Workshop 1. Meridian-inspired yin yoga — working with the body areas connected to Metal and Fire. Deep lymphatic self-massage — techniques to support release, open the chest and heart space, and restore a sense of lightness.

You'll leave with

A felt sense of completion through the full Five Elements cycle. Practical tools to carry Metal and Fire wisdom into your daily life — including a custom tea blend, aroma oil, and additions to your self-care booklet.
