BCA & Folks Healing's: Seasonal Foundations

 
 

FALL ‘26 Seasonal Foundations

embodied introduction to seasonal living & healing
every other monday | 4–6pm | @ bca
starting: Sept 7th

Seasonal Foundations introduces participants to healing through seasonal awareness, self-care practices, and shared learning.

Classes offer practical tools for supporting oneself and others, alongside an embodied introduction to Chinese medical cosmology. Participants learn to recognize seasonal patterns in the body, practice simple forms of care, and develop a relationship with medicine as something lived and relational.

    • wish to learn simple tools of healing, to treat themselves, family, and friends.

    • enjoy learning in community — through shared practice, conversation, and hands-on experience.

    • are curious about cosmology and how it shows up in the body, daily life, and the turning of the year.
