Five Dynamics Creative Art Cycle

A Pamphlet on:

Nourishing life through the elemental forces and flows of relation of the Five Dynamics


The five elemental forces of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are a configuration of natural aspects of life. These dynamical phases have become understood through millennia of study through Chinese energetics and the Taoist healing arts.

Working with these elemental forces has supported my movement practice, as well as how I structure my creative life. This pamphlet is one expression of this. The materials here in this booklet are a gathered and designed version of some of the principles and practices of the Five Dynamics and perhaps can offer cosmological scores for wherever they lead you. There are many resources available on Five Elemental Theory, so what this offers here is more of a personal compendium —  some interpretations and translations of their subtle uses.

These materials are a springboard and reference for offerings and programs of the seasonal cycles of the vivid grove...
