Community Ecologies - 'Micro-Seasons, Meridians & Collective Organising: Traditional Chinese Medicine as Community Ecology' by Yaya-海 Wang

2.00pm – 3.30pm
Sat 24 October 2026

Join us for 'Micro-Seasons, Meridians & Collective Organising: Traditional Chinese Medicine as Community Ecology', a workshop by Yaya-海 Wang.

Together, we’ll explore the Five Elements, micro-seasons and some principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), looking at how they connect with London's urban ecology.

We’ll think about how the elements relate to different parts of the human body, how these relationships echo across wider ecologies, and what they might teach us about how we relate to one another and build communities.

📅 Date & time: Saturday 24th October, 2-3:30pm
📍 Location: Bethnal Green Nature Reserve, Middleton Street, E2 9RR
💚 Cost: Free, no booking required
🌱 Meeting point: Entrance to Bethnal Green Nature Reserve on Middleton Street

Places are limited to 12 per session, so arriving early is recommended.
