FACE READING IMMERSION
Thursdays in January, February and March (2-4pm EST)
with Abbie Galvin & Tyrone Watson
All hours bankable toward your Katonah Yoga® Certification.
Face reading is an ancient art in accordance with Taoist principles. Following universal laws of nature, one's face is a blueprint of their narrative. Just as we read feet and hands as indications of someone's nature, one’s face is another map of a self, a life and its potentials.
Are you WOODY with the entrepreneurial spirit and forward moving trajectory of a tree?
Are you FIERY, the archetype of a lover, possessing the qualities of affection, generosity and a love for novelty?
Are you EARTHY and maternal, a caretaker who is responsible and family oriented?
Are you METAL, the alchemist, forward looking with a psychic vision of the future and a propensity for precision?
Are you WATERY, a philosopher, a deep thinker, creative, flowing through life and around problems?
Join us for an exploration of our faces using aspects of the Katonah material and the five element theory of Taoism to find out!
SECTION 1 - Five Elements + Facial Characteristics
January 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th
The face is the topography and geography of how one lives. Our first section will be an exploration of how individual facial characteristics reflect great nature. Personal nature is how we interpret the implicit from the explicit by virtue of mountains, rivers, moisture and boney elements of the face. Just as nature's elements reveal patterns, so too can behaviors, propensities, habits, personalities be found by exploring the five elements within the context of the face.
SECTION 2 - Facial Maps + How to Read Them
February 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th
Maps give us a framework through which to position ourselves in time and space. Our second section will be an exploration of facial maps that mark time. How the facial features tell the story of our life experiences and give us insight into what might lie ahead. We will explore the maps of the left and right sides, the zones of the face, the decades and the markers of Jing and Qi, offering us an understanding of how we make Qi to buffer the use of Jing.
SECTION 3 - Shapes, Markings + Health Issues
March 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th
Our moles, scars and wrinkles mark our experiences and offer us insight into what we need to work on. Is there a health issue, a trauma that is buried, a pattern that repeats? Our third and final section will be an exploration of the shapes and markings found on the face, revealing where we get stuck, glitch out or fall apart. Just as body reading gives us a portal into the implicit, likewise, the face exhibits the story of our lives.
