Programme of the masterclass
This two-day immersive workshop offers an introduction to the fascinating art of Face Reading from a Chinese medicine perspective. Our face is said to be the blueprint of who we are and who we are becoming. Every feature, line, shape, and expression reflects aspects of our personality, life experiences, strengths, challenges, and emotional patterns.
Throughout life, our experiences leave their imprint on the face. In many ways, the face becomes the story of our journey.
During the workshop we will study the different shapes of the face and various face maps like the age map, emotional map and organs map. A significant amount of time will be devoted to practicing Face Reading skills in small groups, under the teacher's supervision.
