>peaceful setting beside the River Chess.

>

>Here is how describes the day's workshop:

>

> " It all starts with the four seasons; Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter

>

>The observation that the earth went through cycles

>

>and noticing that people went through similar cycles in their lives

>

>and that different people thrived in different seasons

>

>Air, Fire, Earth, Water the four elements correspond to the 4 seasons

>We are born with our full compliment of vitality, a gift of love from

>our parents and their ancestors. As we grow older we spend it. Children

>have excess vitality and may spend it freely. Elders have low vitality

>and must husband it carefully but have often acquired a sort of

>toughness that stands them in good stead. Children have strong vitality

>but it is weakly grounded. The vitality of Elders is well grounded but

>weak.

>

>The vital spirit is warm and damp. Babies are warm and damp. We say they

>are dominated by the Sanguine (or Airy) temperament. People who stay

>warm and damp carry that Sanguine temperament through their lives.

>

>As we grow older we start to dry out and become more fiery - the time of

>Adolescence and of the Choleric humour.

>

>And so it goes on through life. Our healing strategies changing

>according to the time of life and to the dominant temperament of our

>patients. "

>

> will discuss the different strategies; herbal, dietary and

>life style and show you how these may be applied to modern herbal

>practice.
