Each element corresponds to a season\, a set of organs\, a quality of energy\, and — most importantly for our work together — a whole landscape of emotions\, patterns\, and ways of being in the world. \nEarth holds the need to belong\, to nourish and be nourished\, the tendency to worry.Metal holds grief\, the capacity to let go\, the longing to be seen and valued.Water holds fear\, deep rest\, ancestral wisdom\, and the will to survive.Wood holds vision\, healthy anger\, the courage to grow and change.Fire holds joy\, connection\, vulnerability\, and the longing for real love. \nMost of us have one or two elements that dominate our inner landscape — and one or two that we barely know at all. In this circle\, we visit them all. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n EFT Tapping — The Tool That Makes It Live\nEFT — Emotional Freedom Techniques — is a gentle\, evidence-informed practice that combines the ancient wisdom of acupressure with modern understanding of the nervous system. By tapping on specific points on the face and body while naming what is true\, we send a calming signal to the amygdala — the brain’s alarm centre — and begin to release what has been stored as stress\, fear\, or old pain. It is simple enough to learn in minutes. And it can go as deep as you are willing to go. \nI have been using EFT with clients for many years\, and I never stop being moved by how quickly it works — and how lasting the change can be. I tap myself every day. Even when I tap on behalf of my clients on their issues\, I feel it. It lowers cortisol\, calms the nervous system\, and brings you back to yourself in a way that very few practices can. \nIn Tap the Elements\, we use EFT as a key to unlock each element — not as theory\, but as lived experience. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Seven Sessions\nEach session is 90 minutes\, held online\, and fully recorded so you can return to the tapping sequences whenever you need them. \nSession 1 — 30 September · EarthComing Home to YourselfWe begin with Earth — the element of centre\, nourishment\, and belonging. We tap on worry\, the need to be needed\, over-giving\, and the quiet exhaustion of never quite feeling like enough. A grounding\, settling opening to our time together. \nSession 2 — 7 October · MetalWhat Are You Still Holding?Metal is the element of autumn — of grief\, of letting go\, of what we carry from the past. We tap on old loss\, the places where we never felt truly seen or valued\, and the surprising relief of releasing what is ready to go. \nSession 3 — 14 October · WaterFear\, Rest and the Wisdom of WinterWater governs fear\, willpower\, and the capacity for deep rest. We tap on chronic anxiety\, exhaustion\, and the frozen places — and begin to touch the still\, quiet power that lives underneath the fear. \n— One week’s break: 21 October — \nSession 4 — 28 October · WoodAnger\, Vision and Moving ForwardWood is where frustration lives — and where your longing to grow lives too. We tap on blocked energy\, rigidity\, the inner critic as a Wood pattern\, and the courage it takes to move in a new direction. \nSession 5 — 4 November · FireJoy\, Connection and the Longing to Be SeenFire is the heart. We tap on the places where we shut down\, the fear of real intimacy\, the habit of performing connection rather than feeling it — and we open\, carefully and gently\, toward genuine joy. \nSession 6 — 11 November · Your Dominant ElementTapping Your Own MapHaving moved through all five elements\, you now know where your work lives. This session is personal and integrative — we tap specifically on the element that holds the most charge for you right now. You come knowing what you’re there to meet. \nSession 7 — 18 November · IntegrationThe River Always FlowsA closing session and celebration. We revisit the full elemental cycle\, explore how the elements speak to each other\, and each participant leaves with a personal tapping practice to carry forward — a living tool that moves with the seasons. \n\nWhat You’ll Take Away\nBy the end of our seven sessions together\, you will have: \nA felt\, embodied understanding of each of the Five Elements — not just as concepts\, but as living energies in your own body and life. \nSeven recorded tapping sequences — one for each element plus integration — that you can return to again and again as the seasons turn. \nA small\, warm community of people who share your language and your curiosity — because healing is always deeper in good company. \nA personal tapping practice rooted in the elemental wisdom of TCM\, shaped around who you actually are. \n\nThis Circle Is For You If\nYou’ve read A Healing Map or are curious about the Five Elements and want to go deeper than the page. \nYou’ve heard of EFT and always meant to try it — or you already tap and want to bring more structure and meaning to your practice. \nYou want to do some inner work this autumn without committing to something heavy or overwhelming. \nYou’re drawn to a small\, intimate online group where real things happen — not a webinar\, but a genuine circle. \nYou simply want to feel better — calmer\, clearer\, more like yourself — as the year turns toward winter. \nNo prior experience of EFT tapping or the Five Elements is needed. Everything is guided\, step by step. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n You know the map. Now let’s feel what it holds. \nSomething is waiting to shift in you.\nYou’ve probably heard of the Five Elements. You may have read about them\, reflected on them\, recognised yourself in them. Perhaps you even know which element is yours — the one that explains so much about how you move through the world\, what exhausts you\, what lights you up\, what keeps pulling you back into the same old patterns. \nBut knowing the map is not the same as moving through the territory. \nThis is what Tap the Elements is about: not learning the Five Elements again\, but feeling them — in your body\, in your nervous system\, in the places where something has been quietly waiting to be released. Session by session\, element by element\, we use EFT tapping to meet what is actually there. And things begin to move. \nNo prior experience of EFT or the Five Elements is needed. If you can tap your fingers\, you can do this. \nJoin the early bird — €175 until 15 September → \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Your Guide — Irene Nolte\nI’ve been working with the Five Elements for over twenty years — first through shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine\, then through coaching and EFT tapping\, and eventually through writing A Healing Map\, which brought this ancient framework to readers who had never encountered it before. \nWhat I love most about the Five Elements is that they are never abstract. The moment you begin to feel Water’s fear in your own chest\, or notice Metal’s grief in the tightness of your throat\, the map becomes a mirror — and the mirror becomes a doorway. \nTap the Elements grew out of years of facilitating circles\, retreats\, and individual sessions where I watched people shift something they had been carrying for decades — not through willpower or understanding\, but through the simple\, radical act of tapping and telling the truth. \nI’d love to tap with you this autumn. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Investment\nEarly bird: €175(until 15 September 2026) \nFull price: €220 \nThe group is intentionally small to allow for real depth and genuine connection. Early booking is warmly recommended. \nRegister here → \nQuestions? Write to me at info@irenenolte.com — I’m happy to have a conversation before you decide. \nA Note on Working Online\nThe healing doesn’t happen on a screen — it happens in you. What travels through Zoom is not diminished by the distance. If anything\, the intimacy of being in your own home\, in your own body\, in your own space\, can make EFT tapping even more accessible and real. \nWherever you are joining from\, you are welcome here. \nWith warmth and a tap on the collarbone\,Irene URL:https://www.irenenolte.com/course/tap-the-elements-online-eft-tapping-circle-%c2%b7-five-elements-tcm-%c2%b7-irene-nolte/ LOCATION:ONLINE CATEGORIES:EFT,Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.irenenolte.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/EFT-PIC-scaled.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20261128T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20270206T170000 DTSTAMP:20260822T200655Z CREATED:20260807T154040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260822T200655Z UID:7357-1795860000-1801933200@www.irenenolte.com SUMMARY:Winter Light Sessions 2026 DESCRIPTION:Winter Light Sessions 2026 — Boundaries\, Consent\, Release & Renewal\n(plus one cooking class!)\nThe Winter Light Sessions are back! Four days woven through the heart of winter. \nJoin me for a group journey in which we’ll share practices\, winter walks\, beautiful home-cooked healing meals\, and somatic exercises that invite us to go a little deeper than we usually dare. \nAs one year comes to a close and another begins\, we’ll use this natural threshold to explore boundaries\, closure\, and the deeper meaning of true consent. In order to give a wholehearted yes in life\, we also need to have access to a genuine no\, which we own and can truly hold. And yet\, how often do we find ourselves saying yes when something in us is quietly disagreeing? Perhaps we want to please and prioritise the needs of the other. Perhaps we haven’t quite listened to ourselves. There are so many ways in which we can move away from ourselves without even noticing. \nTogether\, through EFT and gentle somatic practices\, we’ll explore what happens when we begin to listen more closely. To notice the subtle signals of the body\, that helps us recognise where we override our deeper truth. Together\, through EFT tapping on the body’s meridian points\, and through gentle somatic practices\, we’ll explore what happens when we begin to listen in more closely.  \nBut most of all\, these Winter Light Sessions are about community. About sharing the winter months in good company. About gathering around a table\, walking together through the winter landscape\, sharing what is alive for us\, and discovering that there is something deeply healing about being witnessed and supported by others. In Traditional Chinese Medicine\, winter belongs to the Water element- which governs the kidneys and the reserves of the vital energy we carry within us. Winter invites us to conserve\, listen inward and to protect what is precious- this is what we’ll do. \nThere will be space to reflect\, to rest and laugh\, to eat well and tap\, to walk\, and simply to be together. A place to pause\, to reconnect with yourself\, and to remember that whatever you are moving through\, you don’t have to move through it alone. \nWhat we’ll do together\nEach day runs from 10:00 to 17:00. We’ll have group sharings\, coaching\, EFT and somatic exercises\, a delicious home-cooked lunch\, and — weather and mood permitting — an afternoon walk through the forest. Each day will end with a closing practice\, giving us time to integrate what has moved and to gather it back into the circle. And on the second workshop day\, by popular request\, we’ll also cook together: a hands-on cooking class where we prepare a delicious seasonal vegan meal to share. \nThe four days\n28th November — Boundaries & True Consent\nWhat does a true yes feel like? And how can you better recognise and feel in the body\, when you disagree? How to become aware of it?  How to dare expressing it? So many of us have learned\, early in life to override our own signals. This day is an invitation to begin gently unlearning that — through feeling\, exercises\, EFT tapping\, somatic exploration\, and the support of the group. We’ll look at people-pleasing\, self-abandonment\, and the places where we may have stopped trusting ourselves. And we’ll begin to explore what becomes possible when we listen to the body before automatically saying yes. Step out of this day owning your decisions more firmly! \n13th December — Letting Go & The Nourished Body (+Vegan cooking class)\nJust before the year closes\, we make space. We’ll use two of the most grounding things there are — tapping and cooking — to explore what we are still carrying\, what we are ready to release\, and what it means to truly nourish ourselves. The morning will be devoted to EFT tapping on the things that may still be asking for attention: old patterns\, regrets\, unfinished business\, the difficulty of owning our “no”\, or simply the weight of a year lived. Then we’ll come together in the kitchen to prepare our lunch as part of the session — a hands-on seasonal vegan cooking class. \nIn the afternoon\, we’ll turn towards nourishment in a deeper sense: receiving care\, allowing ourselves to be nourished. We’ll look at the relationship between self-worth and how we nourish ourselves\, and the difference between what genuinely sustains us and what we have learned to consume out of habit. What are you still carrying that was never truly yours? And what would it feel like to put some of it down? \n16th January — Inviting the New\nWelcoming the New Year and honouring the depth of the winter\, we’ ll  explore the resistance\, self-doubt and old stories that can keep us from moving towards what we long for in our life: the “not yet\, not you\, not possible… “. Through somatic work and gentle creative practice\, we’ll make space for your voice and how can you take steps towards creating the life you want.  Give your attention to in the year ahead\, what kind of support will help you bring it into the world? \n6th February — Coming Home: Belonging & Integration and Celebration! \nThe final day is about bringing it all together. After three days of exploring boundaries\, release and renewal\, we turn towards the place where all of this becomes possible: relationship. How do we stay connected to ourselves while remaining connected to others? How do we belong without abandoning ourselves? How can we receive support\, and how can we offer it? We’ll revisit some of the practices and themes from our time together\, noticing what has shifted\, what has become clearer\, and what we want to carry forward. \nWhat’s included \nAll sessions are facilitated by me — Irene Nolte\, holistic practitioner\, EFT therapist\, and author of A Healing Map. Seasonal meals are provided each day (I cook — people tend to love this part! :). We walk together in the countryside each afternoon. You leave each day with a recorded tapping sequence to continue the work at home. The group is small by design. This work asks for safety and intimacy\, and that requires knowing everyone in the room. \nThere will be plenty of space for sharing\, for listening\, for walking\, for eating together and for simply enjoying one another’s company. And perhaps most importantly\, we’ll take time to celebrate the circle we’ve created. Healing and connection happens best in community!  \nInvestment\nFull Winter Light Sessions — 640€Four days woven together as one journey. \nEarly bird — 560€ Register here! Book the full series before 1 October 2026. \nEarly bird payment plan — 5 x 120€ Register here! Available when you book the full series before 1st October 2026. \nA note about the payment plan: This is a payment plan for the full Winter Light journey rather than four separate day bookings.
