What if we reframe illness as being a spiritual journey, an opportunity to connect more deeply with ourselves and those that we care about, and health as being a process of listening to our inner wisdom? In this workshop, we’ll use guided meditation, journaling, and reflection to create an inner refuge of comfort that we can go to in the midst of any storm. Using the guidance of theancient traditions of acupuncture and Eastern medicine, we will find ways to bring light into times of darkness and authentic feeling into the holiday season.
