Winter: Season of the Cave

Ladies only

One of four seasonal workshops to help you form a deeper connection to your cyclical life and the link to nature and the seasons. By connecting to the natural laws of the universe so we connect to our own fitrah (innate dispositon). We are looking at the signs on the horizons and in ourselves, as written in the Holy Quran. PLEASE NOTE this course is not just for Muslims but anyone who is God-concsious or wants to deepen their connection with the Source of all things.

According to Five Elements Theory, water is the element of winter, kidneys are the organs and the emotion is trust/fear. In Islamic Tibb winter has properties of cold and damp and leads to particular illnesses . We will use the principles from these two deeply holistic medical practices to embrace the season, and prepare for re-growth / birth of the impending Spring season.

In this workshop you will learn

• what is qi and how we can harness our energy over winter
• how to support the kidneys, adrenals, bones and teeth
• Islamic Tibb remedies for common winter ailments
• a gentle movement practice to bring tranquility to the body
• Yoga breathwork to support your health

You will also get a chance to sample a cup of Divine Tea : an exquisite blend of all organic turmeric tea containing turmeric, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, liquorice, fennel and black pepper. Shahida Aslam will be here with her “hug in a mug” tea and you can check out more @divineteas_uk.

You will leave with a wealth of information feeling eager to put restful practices in place for the rest of the season.
