Going Inward to Access Winter’s Wisdom: A Daoist Seasonal Alignment Class

Winter’s Wisdom: a Free Daoist Seasonal Alignment Class
Join us for a special online event where we’ll explore the quiet, restorative energy of winter through the lens of Daoist philosophy. Learn how to align with the natural rhythms of the season and support deeper rest, reflection, and inner steadiness. This class is perfect for anyone wanting to understand how seasonal shifts influence well being and how winter can nourish clarity and renewal. Taught by Marianne Benforado, Licensed Acupuncturist and Certified Advanced Holden Qi Gong teacher.

Want to live in harmony with winter’s energy? In Chinese medicine, winter is a season of deep rest and is connected with stillness and going inward. Many people feel more tired or sensitive at this time of year, and I'll share ways to honor that while also supporting steadiness and inner strength. This is based on principles from the Daoist Five Elements. I’ll add some gentle lifestyle suggestions that I give to my acupuncture patients. And we will practice a short guided meditation to support balance during this seasonal transition.
