What are hexagrams? 

Hexagrams are 6 lined symbolic pictures composed of yin (broken) and yang (solid) lines. The Yijing is used as a guide to consult when one is trying to understand or gain guidance on a situation or life event. It was common for the Emperor of China to ask the Yi Jing daily questions regarding any and all subject matters, whether personal or for the country. The Yi Jing is still used today among scholars and laypeople to give insight into the very nature of life’s happenings. Around 500 B.C.E. Confucius wrote in his bookThe Analects: “If I had another 50 years I would devote them all to studying the Yi, and might thereby avoid falling into error.”

The movement of heaven is full of power. 
Thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring.

Yi Jing (I Ching) 易經 
Hexagram Series

This Yijing ~ I Ching series will focus on going in-depth into each of the 64 Yijing Hexagrams. The overall course is divided into 8 classes with each class exploring 8 Hexagrams in-depth. By the end of the course, you will have a solid base for making interpretations and should be able to recognize key insights about each Hexagram solely from the line patterns.

As always, we will incorporate meditation and mindful movement with the self-reflective practices of the Yijing. You should come out of each workshop feeling clear in body and mind and vibrant. 

Each workshop may be taken on its own or you can take the whole series to deepen your practice and strengthen your "wisdom muscles." :)

The Yijing is one of the oldest existent wisdom texts in the world and its words are especially powerful today. Read more about the Yi (pronounced like the letter "E") below!
What is the Yi Jing ~ I Ching: Book Of Changes?

The Yi Jing~The Book of Changes is most assuredly one of the most important books in world literature. It dates back thousands of years (circa 2,000 B.C.E.) and has been a formidable guide and study for eminent Chinese scholars and emperors from the past to today. This text has been molded and shaped some of the most important acts in Asian history. It is a guide for the study of change, for the wisdom of self-action and in-action in any life situation, and for what it is to be human in this world of constant change and transformation.

As an ancient Chinese divination text, the Yi Jing is composed of 64 Hexagrams.
