Fire Element Summer Workshop & Supper Club

Join me and ZAO AN for our seasonal summer workshop and supper club at Loom Club.

We'll welcome summer's expansive energy with nourishing movement practices and delicious food to honour the shift in season.

In Chinese Five Element Philosophy, summer belongs to the Fire element and to the heart. It's a season of joy, warmth and connection; a time that invites us to radiate and come alive. Fire's true invitation is not to blaze, but to burn steadily. A calm flame that sustains rather than consumes. Rather than doing more, can this summer be about being fully present with what is.

What to expect

We begin the day in Loom Club's bright and spacious studio, where Emma will guide you through heart-opening qigong to draw on Fire's qualities of joy and compassion. We then settle into restful yin yoga to activate the Fire meridians, before heading upstairs to the beautiful lounge to enjoy a summer-inspired Chinese dinner by ZAO AN Founder Irene.

Rundown

• 4:00 - 6:30pm: Fire element philosophy and practice - heart-opening qigong and yin yoga

Food in TCM

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), food is part of how we tend to our qi and align with the seasons. Summer calls for cooling and detoxifying foods to support our vitality and health.

TCM philosophy sits at the heart of ZAO AN's cooking. Founded by Irene, ZAO AN is an East and South East Asian community cafe cooking seasonally inspired Asian cuisine to nurture the soul.

We'd love to welcome you for a day of dropping in, softening into the senses and connecting with the warmth of the season.
