We are here in the midst of winter cold going into the Spring Festival— the new Chinese Lunar year. It might seem strange to consider Spring as beginning in the deep middle of dark and cold, but all beginnings start in the dark. They begin before they can be seen.
Qiological is delighted to have Gregory Done back with his perspective on the coming Wood Dragon year. This 12 year Earthly cycle of animals began anew with the Metal Rat in 2020, and we know how that shifted our world in profound ways. This past year of the Water Rabbit, as Gregory suggested, would be weird— and indeed it was.
Listen in as we review the Rabbit and consider the energies and symbols of the coming Wood Dragon, which begins a new Heavenly Stems cycle. Get ready to ride the Dragon, and know what to pack and what to leave behind.
My most heartfelt clinical tip is to be honest about what does and doesn’t work for you and your patients – don’t get stuck in a style, system, or technique, and don’t be a “true believer.”

I am deeply interested in the immigration and cultural assimilation of Asian Wisdom and Wellness traditions in America and a vocal proponent of a pluralistic, non-sectarian approach to practice guided by traditional culture and lineage.
