About the workshop
Why Five Elements?
Our lives have changed drastically over the last century or so. We’ve lost some of the basic skills that our ancestors had that kept them grounded and healthy, connected with the Earth and the people around them.
Five Elements is an ancient system of living that encourages harmony between body, mind, spirit and the natural world that surrounds us. Living with an awareness of five elements:
- encourages intuition and a heightened awareness of our purpose
- improves performance at work by bringing greater mental acuity, planning skills and general calmness
- improves our relationships by increasing our understand of ourselves and others
- brings better health, happiness and joy to our lives.
