Late Summer is related to the element of Earth and is the time when the Earth yields its greatest ha rvest. Our bodies mirror this process through receiving and transforming n ourishment through the Late Summer organs\, the spleen and stomach. The La te Summer season is considered a time of dampness and transformation. When our Earth element is in balance we feel centered\, stable\, and grounded both physically and emotionally. When out of balance\, we experience dampn ess as fatigue\, feeling stuck\, digestive upset\, along with worry\, anxi ety\, and rumination.Join our qigong community to experience deep physical \, emotional\, and energetic grounding and stability. No experience necess ary! All are welcome to attend\, no affiliation with Unity Center of Peace is necessary.
