Becoming Wild Yin
Gentle Tending Through Taoist Feminine Practice
✳︎
Thursday, October 22
5-7pm
@ Sweet Adjustments Chiropractic in Grass Valley, California
✳︎
In the Taoist view, a woman's body is yin: inward, receptive, holding. Our sexual organs live inside us, and we are, by nature, deeply emotional beings. Modern life makes it difficult for emotion to move as it arises. We often hold it in to meet the demands of each day. Held long enough, these emotions can cool and settle in the pelvis and breasts, slowing the movement of chi and blood and creating stagnation or blockages.
When we bring loving attention and gentle tending to the body, chi (energy) and blood begin to move again, and vitality returns.
This evening is a return to tending that inner landscape. We'll move slowly and gently through foundational practices of the Taoist feminine path:
✳︎
Closing the 3 Yin Gates
Ovarian Breathing
Breast and Nipple Massage
Nine Flowers Massage for Glandular Toning and Hormonal Balance
✳︎
Through gentle repetition and devoted returning, we become what we practice. Learn simple practices you can return to at home and in the natural world. These practices are held in relationship with the wild world around us, the river, the forest, the mountains, the land we call home, and with the wildness that lives within. This is Becoming Wild Yin.
These are simple, gentle, yet transformative practices. We will practice fully clothed. No experience is needed. Come as you are.

Space is limited; pre-registration is highly encouraged.
Wild Yin Returning
13 Days of Gentle Tending Through Taoist Feminine Practice
October 26 – November 7, 2026
9–9:30am PST · Live on Zoom
✳︎
A woman's body is yin by nature: inward, receptive, holding. We carry our sexual organs inside us, and we feel deeply. When we hold emotion in rather than let it move, it can settle in the belly, pelvis, and breasts, slowing the flow of chi and blood and creating stagnation or blockages. With daily, loving attention, chi (energy) and blood begin to move again, and vitality returns.
For 13 mornings, we'll gather to tend our inner landscape, one half hour at a time. We'll begin at the center, with Chi Nei Tsang self-massage to soften tension in the belly. Then we'll move slowly through foundational practices of the Taoist feminine path: Closing the 3 Yin Gates, Ovarian Breathing, Breast and Nipple Massage, and Nine Flowers Massage for Glandular Toning and Hormonal Balance.
Through gentle repetition and devoted returning, we become what we practice. These are simple practices you can carry into your own mornings, at home.
Simple, gentle, transformative. No experience is needed. Come as you are.
✳︎
There is no pressure to attend live. All 13 days will be recorded so you can watch the recordings and practice at home, in your own time.

What People Are Saying ᐧ
“My journey with Katherine has been such a gift. It has allowed me to connect with parts of my body that are often overlooked in traditional massage. Learning how to perform these techniques on my own belly felt incredibly empowering.”
S.U. - group practice participant“When I started, I was hopeful this practice would help me connect with my belly in a way I don’t think I ever had before—but I was blown away by just how deeply it has changed our relationship. The way Katherine guides us into the practice is incredibly gentle and caring, and it all flows so naturally. Thank you so much, Katherine. I know I have so much more to learn from tending to my belly—and this feels like just the beginning.”

“Katherine’s teaching style is one of quiet devotion, and in this loud world, that feels like a big thing to me. Katherine brings this sense of integration and coherence all the way from the content of her teachings into the way that she shows up, and that helps me to feel held in the practice. The coherence in these teachings helps me along my own journey of coherence and integration inside of myself. ”
