Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult Education

The fourth in a yearlong series of five classes offering an introduction to Chinese medicine's cycle of the Five Elements and Seasons. Stay tuned for additional classes in 2025 as Meret will be covering all of the seasons! Take one or all!

Explore tools for wellness, including self-acupressure, Qigong & movement, guided meditation, diet and lifestyle guidelines. Late summer is an additional season between summer and fall in Chinese medicine. It is the season of the earth element and is about harvest, grounding, and coming home to our roots. Yang returns to Yin, and the focus is on nourishment and digestion, as well as the stomach and spleen organs and meridians. Each session will end with a circle of feedback and closing. Dress comfortably and bring a yoga mat or blanket. Registration closes at noon on 9/13.
