The Heart of the Season: Autumn

About This Event

Heart of the Season: Autumn 

Wednesdays, Sept. 30, Oct. 7 & 14, 6pm - 8pm 

with Dave Eyerman 

Explore the seasonal themes of autumn through the lenses of Chinese Medicine and other Earth-based spiritual practices. In this three-week class, licensed acupuncturist and shamanic practitioner Dave Eyerman will guide participants in understanding how this season affects their body, emotions, and energy, through a mix of teaching, group discussion, time outdoors, and guided meditation.

Autumn is the season to embrace the beauty of receiving the pearls of wisdom from the past few months of life, so that we can let go of the old with gratitude and grace. It is also the season that asks to deepen our sense of faith, trusting that we are held in great love through the darkness. Just as the trees shed their leaves, trusting they will grow and bear new color in spring, the same is asked of us.

The Metal element of Chinese Medicine governs autumn, and its associated channels Lung and Large Intestine are our physical embodiment of these seasonal themes. Participants will learn practical seasonal self-care strategies, ways to support their physical and emotional balance, and simple techniques for connecting with natural cycles. All the practices shown are designed to help everyone develop their own personal relationship with the land and its seasonal rhythms. Sliding scale: $60, $75 or $90 for the series.
