Join us on an immersive year-long journey through the five elements of nature: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal and learn how they reflect and affect your own inner landscape. Each element has its own season, emotions, qualities and wisdom.
Through nature connection, creative practices, personal reflection, movement, meditation and shared experiences in stunning locations around the bay, you’ll explore how this ancient and eternal cycle can support your health, understanding and flourishing, along with that of our planet.
This is a space to engage with the wider systems and cycles of life, to reconnect with our beautiful Bay and our shared, evolving story, as we celebrate the depth and complexity of being human.
Our Journey with Fire – Summer 2026
Step into the radiant energy of Fire, summer, joy, warmth, and the heart’s wisdom. Through movement, creative expression, and heart-centred practices, we’ll explore openness, trust, honesty, and the vibrant power of shared connection.
Along the way, we’ll dive into playful, heart-opening activities like candle making, dance, drama, the Council of All Beings, and other expressive practices that spark curiosity, kindness, and joy. Set in inspiring locations around the bay, this course invites you to ignite your inner warmth and celebrate the luminous, transformative energy of Fire.
Course Dates: July 4th, 11th & 18th, 2026
Location: Torbay
Cost: It is our heartfelt wish to offer this course as authentically as we can and to anyone who is drawn to it. Therefore, we are offering it based on Dana. Dana is an ancient Pali word meaning generosity or giving and comes from the Buddhist tradition.
In practice, it means that at the end of the course, you will be asked to consider the value of the experience and teachings you have received and give what you can to ensure that courses can continue for others. There is no set price – just like all other aspects of our lives, each of our financial circumstances is unique. In the Dana tradition, the amount is less significant than the intention to enhance the lives of others. This is an intention which has kept the Buddhist tradition alive for the last 2,500 years, it is a commitment to our Collective well-being.
