Lunar New Year ~ Wood Dragon

2024 is the Year of the Dragon — According to the Chinese zodiac, the Year of the Dragon is one of the most fortunate and potent years. Symbolizing everything from power, nobility, success and luck to honor, courage, and tenacity. Dragon years are defined by momentum and reaction — to add to the bonfire, the element for 2024 is wood, which fuels flames and enhances the intensity and instability of the dragon. Uh oh! Lets be prepared for what this year ahead is about to bring us. Within the story of the dragon lies the true message of this year — strength is a gift to be lent, not a power to be wielded. * Our guest this month is new to our community ~ Cherie Blier is a breathwork and somatic movement practitioner from the South shore region of Massachusetts. She will lead us with a powerful and activating breath and movement ritual designed to bring out our Wood Dragon energy and help us SLAY the year ahead!
