What we’re about
What is the goal of ESTCM "Elements Seasons TCM Food & Wellbeing Circle"?
To create a warm, grounding space where people reconnect with their
body, mind, and natural rhythm through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) inspired food, shared meals, and honest conversations. ESTCM brings people together around the table exploring the ancient and modern wisdom of TCM, the power of seasonal ingredients, and the quiet strength of simple, nourishing food. Each gathering is a slow, mindful experience. Slow down. Nourish deeply. Come back to yourself.
Who is this group for?
This group is for:
• people interested in natural health and holistic wellbeing
• anyone curious about Traditional Chinese Medicine and food
• busy minds who want to reconnect with their body
• nature lovers, conscious eaters, and creative souls
If you feel tired, disconnected, overstimulated or out of balance, this space is for you.
What will we do?
We meet in small groups in calm locations, kitchens, tea rooms, community spaces, or nature settings.
This is not a diet program.
This does not replace medical treatment.
This is a real-life nourishment experience.
Expect:
• shared preparation of Chinese recipes
• TCM-inspired discussions about balance, organs and seasons
• herbal teas and warming tonics
• mindful eating and sensory awareness
• simple rituals for grounding and calming the nervous system
• space for conversation, silence, and real connection
Each event explores a theme such as sleep, energy, digestion, immunity, or emotional balance.
About us
We're believing food is a language of love and care. Sometimes you don’t need a solution. You just need a warm bowl, a quiet space, and someone who reminds you how to listen to your body.
