Yijing with Bernard Kwan

The Yijing or Book of Changes, besides being a tool for divination, is one of the foundational texts of Chinese culture and thinking. Its underlying philosophy underpins numerous fields as diverse as Chinese medicine, Feng Shui, martial arts, Chinese painting and music. But it remains mysterious and impenetrable to many people due to its archaic and symbolic language.

This talk is a follow on talk to the previous talk "Reflecting on the Yijing", although it is not necessary to have attended the previous talk or have prior knowledge. Bernard Kwan will explore the philosophy and underlying structure of the Yijing hexagrams in greater depth and focus more on the practical aspects of taking a reading, with hands on practice. The talk will demonstrate how the Yijing can be a tool for accessing your inner intuition for better decision making and as a framework for personal growth.
