TOLD & RETOLD
a workshop + zine series that provides space to relearn and creatively explore our relationships to medicine, surroundings, and bodies with guidance from Chinese Medicine.
Collaborators: Li-Lan Hsiang Weiss L.Ac., Alexis McKenney
Framework: Five Paths
This series is framed around the five paths or elements in Chinese culture: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood.
Each element corresponding to certain movements, seasons, organs, and emotions.
The series activates our existing wisdom and stories through reflection, discussions, and collective art-making. Here, we encourage each other to embody the creativity needed for an ever-evolving and unfolding medicine practice.
Medicines are stories, told and retold, invented and reinvented based on deep listening and observation of circumstances and surroundings.
