Nourishing the Five Elements

April 10th – 16th, Rome, Italy

Discover an approach to living that is guided by nature. Learn how the Taoist system of the five elements can act as useful guide and support for daily modern life.

Many healing systems believe that the five elements govern everything in the universe, including our health.
