This is a self-paced workshop with 5 modules. Each module includes didactic lectures on culture, history, and metaphysics; and experiential practices to integrate the lectures.

In addition to the teachings on the Po spirits and Hungry Ghosts, this workshop offers powerful experiential practices designed to help you process and integrate what you learn. You’ll engage in somatic embodiment exercises to connect with your Po spirit and explore the deeper layers of your subconscious. We also cover simple protection and cleansing practices to help you maintain energetic balance and navigate the rest of the Dragon year with clarity and resilience. These tools are practical and empowering and can be used daily to cultivate greater self-awareness and protection.

Please bring 3 sheets of unlined paper and utensils to create images such as crayons, markers, colored pencils, etc. If you do not have these utensils, a pen and pencil works. Also a journal or paper to write reflections.

Everyday possessions are moments when we act in ways that don't feel like our usual selves. This could look like snapping at a loved one, feeling jealous of a friend's success, checking a partner's phone out of suspicion, or getting stuck in endless procrastination. In Chinese metaphysics, these behaviors are seen as signs of an imbalance in the Po spirits, which govern our subconscious instincts and reactions. By recognizing these moments as everyday possessions, we can bring awareness to the underlying imbalance and work to restore harmony within ourselves.

Hungry Ghosts, in both Chinese metaphysics and spiritual traditions, represent insatiable desires or unfulfilled emotional needs that linger in our psyche. They symbolize a deep sense of longing, emptiness, or dissatisfaction, often arising from unresolved traumas or imbalances in our Po spirits. Hungry Ghosts manifest as patterns of obsession, addiction, or constant yearning for something we feel we lack, whether it's love, validation, or success. By acknowledging and addressing these Hungry Ghosts, we can release their hold on us and move toward healing and inner peace.

This workshop is for anyone looking to explore the deeper layers of their subconscious and connect with shadow aspects of their psyche. If you're interested in Chinese metaphysics, personal transformation, or gaining tools to work with your emotional and instinctual responses, this workshop will resonate with you. It's also ideal for those who want to learn simple protection and cleansing practices to navigate everyday challenges and stay energetically balanced, especially during the transformative Dragon year. No prior experience is needed—just a willingness to engage with your inner world.
