Our bodies are the access point, but really underneath it all, we are trying to access the Spirit. It’s much more than just staying aligned with the seasons, it’s about staying in tune with our hearts. - Suzannah Lim
The eight extraordinary vessels are the core energetics of our beings. They hold the original blueprint of our individual nature and evolve and grow as we engage with the unfolding of our lives. Connecting with these energetics is an unlocking of deep embodiment, a way to consciously work with the body in our Spirits’ evolution. As we open into the essence of Autumn/Winter, a time of shedding and reflection, we will focus on the Yin pathways of the eight extras - Ren mai (our ability to receive love), Yin wei mai (our ability to be present) and yin qiao mai (our ability to see with clarity).
We had an incredible reception for Chapter 1 earlier this year, and I want to invite you to come and join us this month for an Autumn chapter of CHANGE, CHALLENGES and CREATION placing your Heart Essence as the gaze point for our time together.
Join our Urban Day Retreat filled with Yoga & Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom. I’m honored to have my long time friend, teacher and therapist Suzannah Lim join me for this 2nd Chapter.
I personally have an appreciation of this methodology. I remember learning the Dragon Dance with Suzee during my Yin training at Land of Medicine Buddha where Paul and Suzee Grilley were hosting the Yin teachings I attended, and something about the tissues, fascia, inner intelligence, unseen parts, and functional approach to Yoga made me hold my humanness in a way I haven’t experienced before. There in that moment, and still to this day, I sensed a gentleness and potency encountered by my body.
This Autumn & Winter circle will be in Story Work, placing Yin Yoga, a deep slow Dragon Dance, heart centered philosophy that Suzannah & I will share to hold your actual physical heart in a relatable way.
You will walk away with tools that will support your Winter with a functional, gentle, yet potent way to embody this place of nurture and nourishment in your practice. Manuels, rituals, and post workshop practice care in the online community circle.
Being brave and familiar with the content of our heart is our way. Your own story is here to bring you deeper into the connection and conversation you are having with your Spirit. You can allow silence to sit there in your practice this Winter, like an elder, directing you on where to yield and move forward with this place where you know what is imperative, necessary, deserving and uplifting.
Please join me, Liz & guest teacher Suzannah taking you through these human constructs, the three C’s using Yoga philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and your own personal story as the great work, in a carefully curated Yoga day, specific to you.

Suzannah has spent over 15 years exploring health, healing, human nature and what it means to be truly embodied. She has found that there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to working through this path of healing, so although Acupuncture is the primary tool with which she works, she incorporates a variety of different methods and techniques using intuitive guidance for you, the individual.
Her aim in practise is to assist you on your journey inwards. Exploring the depths of yourself in a process of discovery in which you can find a sense of personal power, freedom, peace and joy in being through a fundamental reconnection to the body. She is passionate about holding space for each individual to dive deep in an environment of trust, safety and loving compassion.
Suzannah has a special interest in psychosomatic manifestations of mental and emotional issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, existential crises, childhood trauma, loss, loneliness, eating disorders and addiction. She effectively treats a wide range of acute and chronic conditions (digestive, sleep, pain, emotional, allergies, women’s health) using ancient acupuncture techniques and modalities.
