Cycle of Seasons
A Year-Long Online Mentorship for 5 Element Healing
We’ve already begun the cycle in Wood, but you can join us in Water.
Season by season, learn Classical Chinese Medicine practices to transform the emotions at the root of illness into a source of courage, strength, and clarity.
Join us for an immersive experience that builds your personal competence in each element’s healing potential, for yourself and for those you serve. This program offers a blend of live online sessions, self-paced learning, and community engagement to help you transform harmful patterns in each element, so that you can engage with life (even during very hard times) from health, and for health.
This is your chance to live into this year of your life with new strength, support and community of healing. It’s like a year-long treasure hunt that leads you to your own buried wisdom (so you can bring it out into the world)

You’ll earn more CEUs than anyone needs within one recertification period, but no problem — the course is structured so that you are awarded the CEUs only when you complete the final quiz — which you can do whenever you choose.
