Harnessing the Power of Wind
Wind blows over vast periods of time, shaping the landscape and bringing great change. Like a subtle force steadily applied, wind clears stagnation, aligning us with nature and the wisdom of the Tao.
Navigating Spring's Growth and Change
Springs’ palpable limitlessness leaves us either drowning in a sea of possibilities yet unable to grasp even one, or floating above it all trusting that the current knows its way home.
Discover how the Wood Element helps navigate this energy, transforming limitations into opportunities for growth and transformation.
From Water to Wood
At this seasonal crossover, we meet Wind’s gentle persistence and unrelenting influence. Like a long rope, Wind helps us draw from the deep well of Water within, guiding us to replenishment and inner clarity.
Late Winter Light
Late winter reminds us that completion is the beginning of renewal. As winter’s light wanes, we are called to remain vigilant and attentive, preparing for the creative energy of spring while grounded in winter’s wisdom.

Increasingly we are navigating polarities, times where ordinary people are profoundly divided, angrily waving rakes and insults at their neighbours, or running indoors to avoid conflict.
