| Movement as an Eastern Healing Art for Dancers Learn essential concepts of Eastern Healing Arts through movement and touch. We are made up of the same ingredients as our Mother Earth: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal/Air. These elements move through our energy pathways, called meridians. Our uniqueness is expressed through these dynamic interactions. These movement explorations are fun and nourishing, encouraging self-discovery, balance and harmony in our daily lives. |
