During this fascinating conversation we explore Chinese medicine’s five elements and uncover the importance of creating space to let innovation and new ideas flow.   KEY TAKEAWAY “I'm a strong believer in the power of daydreaming and how that can begin to change things. We can't create something unless we imagine. And we can't imagine if we are burnt out and highly stressed, it's beyond us.”   ABOUT CHANAN ChaNan Bonser is a highly experienced therapist and trainer who is dedicated to helping others find their own unique way. She works with clients all over the world both personally and in an organisational context, listening deeply to the stories that the body holds while facilitating a clear, deep, and embodied relationship for her clients, which fosters resilience and calm. She holds regular Dreaming Circles in which participants develop with a deeper connection to Earth and their interrelationship with our human selves through embodied imagination and creative prompts.  Her online course, Self-Care for Sensitives, helps folk who are highly sensitive learn how their bodies systems contribute to their sensitivity and overwhelm and teaches them techniques to help become more robust and resilient, and to learn how to harness their sensitivity as a superpower.
