Level 2 Macrobiotic Course

Course Learning Objectives

“Level2 Macrobiotic Course” (written as Level2 after this)  centers on the macrobiotic path to maintain and restore total health. This approach begins with gaining a good understanding of the root-cause of disease and acquiring practical tools  for preventing and relieving disease by ourselves through dietary and lifestyle means.

Description & Registration

This course delves deeply into the principles of yin yang and five energy transformation, and considers food and health.

Healing Macrobiotic Study with Five Energy Transformation theory

This course is available to students who have completed Level 1. It delves deeper into the basic principles of macrobiotics, specifically yin yang, and further develops this into the five energy transformation theory. From the perspective of traditional Eastern medicine, this healing study course focuses on the functions of organs, emphasizes awareness of the laws of nature, and you learn how to achieve balance between diet and health.

Theory

This comprehensive course contains elements of evidence-based preventive and lifestyle medicine that promotes a whole food plant-based diet and lifestyle as a way to prevent and treat chronic conditions. It also integrates holistic oriental notions for regaining balance and restoring energy flow through the use of foods, cooking and simple lifestyle practices to facilitate healing and foster health. This unique approach is an invaluable tool for preventing, helping relieve and possibly heal a wide range of conditions and many physical, emotional and mental disorders naturally by yourself.

Cooking

Cooking in the Level2 is less general and more focused on a purpose. It involves the application of food energetics in the kitchen and helping you become more proficient at creating Yin Yang balance in your cooking. We also take an in-depth look at the five energy transformations (also known as the five elements theory) and its practical applications in the kitchen for strengthening health and facilitating healing. Including gaining the ability to identify foods for medicinal purposes and the therapeutic use of cooking.
