From a new poetry collection: Dreaming with Elk

As the cold winter days come to an end and we transition into the new season of spring, it's a great time to reflect on the element of water and its transformation into wood as well as the significance of these elements in our lives.

The whispers of Spring awaken the energy of the Wood Element, the Green Dragon and enliven the liver energy. It is the time when the Earth brings forth manifestation from the potentiality stored in the seed. It is also a good time to connect with the Hun, the spirit of the liver.

The Art of Spiritual Acupuncture, Sacral-Cranial Touch, Plant Spirits and the Cosmos the new book by Debra Kaatz has completed its long journey across the ocean and we are happy to report that it is in stock and will be offered at a small discount in celebration of the Lunar New Year.

Each journey Each day Each rock Each way

Suddenly thirsty fields with poring rain

The season of the Yin Feminine Water Element shows up as the dark time that pulls us inward, into our self, to be still. She pulls us into places of shelter to be warm, and then asks us to listen closely to the wisdom that whispers when we are quiet. During this time, we begin our descent into the dark season that rests.

In the cycle of seasons, with the approach of Winter Solstice we enter the time of year that is most yin. This is the tipping point where the zenith of yin begins its shift toward yang. The spark of the yin fire quickens, and the darkness of the days begins to give way to lengthening times of light. Even as winter begins, there is movement toward the energy of spring. In the Pagan tradition, it is the time when the goddess becomes The Great Mother and births The Sun King.

Both workshops are offered live on Zoom with senior Acutonics Licensed Faculty Member and Certified Acutonics® Practitioner, Mary Burke Kelly.
