The Year of the Wooden Snake is a BIG chance to shed what no longer serves us!

2025 asks us to pause, feel into the present, and practice awareness.

2025 is an opportunity for reflection, adaptability, and intentional growth, inviting us to a reconnection to our deeper purpose.

If we let Snake Year initiate us, we will come out completely different people.

How do we support each other's in surrendering to the Wooden Snake transformative energy?

We practice together, in the morning, and we reflect together,in the evening, every day. Quinta Ten Chi is foremost a community of practice, and you are invited iin stepping into a social field that is cultivated through awareness for at least the last 6 years. Sharing the space of practice brings us to our common humanity and fosters compassion, understanding and curiosity.

Within that quality of social field, we than invites you to choose your medicine and explore your inner being through movement, voice,, art making and interactions.

To support our journey together during this deep and transformative time, we have 3 powerful invitations:

Be PRESENT

We start by slowing down and fully letting go of the wood Dragon’s urgency. It is time to be patient, take time to turn the camera toward ourselves and allow the transformation of our perception of the world by witnessing and letting go of all our preconceived ideas, including the exciting and powerful ones.

Allowing our mind, heart and will to freely contribute to the Beauty of the world as a prayer of Gratitude for Life.

Be SIMPLE

Complex symbols invite a return to simplicity. It makes no sense to worry about the possible meaning of the Snake Year. Simply accept its invitation. Drop the unnecessary and simplify your life. The less baggage you carry, the more freedom you have to move and uncover your truest nature.

Be LOVE

We can only love what we’re willing to see, and see what we’re willing to love.

Love is the only thing that matters, love as a creative force rooted in Nature. Love as the practical expression of non-duality, the Cosmic Dance of Life.

Collaborating on behalf of Earth, listening to what wants to emerge from the whole, and transforming our planet through simply, loving every moment helps us navigate this time of accelerated developments in human awareness with the tenderness, aliveness and enthusiasm of a bean sprout!

The Year of the Yin Wood Snake invites us to reveal our love through presence and simplicity.

If we let Snake Year initiate us, we will find ourselves in LOVE with LIFE!

Join us to celebrate and co-create a social field held in LOVE!
