Summer is coming to an end.
And you can probably already feel the change.
Work starts picking up again. Routines return. Projects restart. Calendars begin to fill.
Before long, we are back to business as usual.
But what if, instead of rushing straight into autumn, you used this moment of transition to pause?
To reconnect with your body.
To become more aware of your energy.
To quiet some of the noise in your mind.
And to prepare yourself for the season ahead.
12 September 2026
at 3:00PM CEST
A 3½-hour live online workshop combining Qi Gong, breathwork, meditation and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine recognises Late Summer as a season in its own right.
It is associated with the Earth Phase, a time of transition between the expansive energy of summer and the more structured rhythm of autumn.
It is an invitation to find our centre before we start moving faster again.
During this workshop, we will explore what the energy of this season can teach us about grounding, nourishment, balance and our relationship with change.
And we won't just talk about it.
We will experience it through movement, breath and stillness.
HERE'S WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
"Every time it feels like a small reset.
Especially when I'm stressed at work, I often just do two short exercises in between tasks — and every time it feels like a small reset. Afterwards I feel much calmer, clearer in my head, and able to work in a much more focused and productive way."
Entrepreneur
"I have been practising with Paola for a few months and it has been a truly rewarding experience. I feel much better than when I started, and I've noticed that I can handle challenging situations at work with much greater calm and clarity."
Charted Accountant
"Even though the classes take place online, she is always attentive to each participant, present and available, creating genuine engagement and a learning environment that is both stimulating and welcoming"
Entrepreneur
Grounded instead of immediately swept into the rush.
Aware of where your energy actually goes each day, and who it's going to.
Equipped to notice when your mind starts going in circles and have something you can do in that moment.
Connected to your body's signals, rather than automatically overriding them when life gets busy.
Resourced with a simple practice you can return to when your days start filling up again.
This isn't about creating a perfectly calm life.
Your work, responsibilities and commitments will still be there.
It's about learning how to stay connected with yourself while you move through them.
We will combine short periods of teaching with practice and reflection.
Together, we will explore:
The energy of Late Summer and the Earth Phase
The connection between this season, nourishment, balance and our tendency to overthink
Qi Gong practices for grounding and centring
Breathwork
Standing meditation
Simple ways to bring the principles of Earth into your everyday life
You will have time to understand.
But also time to move, breathe, feel and experience.
And you will leave with a simple practice you can return to as you move into autumn.
But I don't have time right now
September can feel like exactly the wrong moment to take three and a half hours for yourself.
There is work to catch up on.
Things to organise.
Routines to restart.
A calendar that suddenly looks much fuller than it did a few weeks ago.
And this is exactly what makes Late Summer such an interesting moment to pause.
Instead of waiting until you are already caught in the autumn rush, you can use this transition to ask yourself:
How do I want to enter the next season?
Not another thing to squeeze into an already busy life.
A few hours to reconnect with yourself before everything speeds up again.
You feel that summer has disappeared too quickly and you're already being pulled back into work and responsibilities.
Your mind tends to stay busy even when your body has stopped.
You often realise you've spent the whole day responding to what everyone and everything else needed.
You want to understand your energy better rather than simply pushing through when it drops.
You are curious about Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine and want to experience them, not just read about them.
Or perhaps you simply feel that you need a moment to stop before the next season begins.
You don't need previous experience with Qi Gong, meditation or Chinese Medicine.
Come exactly as you are.

Hi, I'm Paola Devescovi.
I am an Integrative Health Coach who combines coaching with Qi Gong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and breathwork to support women’s health.
For years I worked as a conference interpreter for international organisations, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies. High-stakes, relentlessly demanding work that I was good at and that cost me more than I realised.
My body led me to Qi Gong and TCM when everything else had stopped working.
I teach what I know from the inside, not just what I learned for my certifications.
The women I work with are professionals, entrepreneurs, and women navigating hormonal and health challenges who are done being told to simply stress less and who are ready for an approach that actually meets them where they are.
This mini course is the beginning of that meeting.
The Energy of Late Summer
Workshop
WHEN: 12 September 2026
TIME: 3:00PM CEST
Live online
Duration: 3½ hours
Price: € 50 (about $57/£47)
The workshop includes Qi Gong, breathwork, meditation, reflection and an introduction to the wisdom of the Earth Phase in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The session will be recorded, so you can return to the practices afterwards.
Can't attend live? You can watch the recording and experience the masterclass in your own time.
I've never done Qi Gong or meditation. Can I join?
Absolutely. No previous experience is needed. Everything will be explained and practised together, step by step. You don't need to be flexible or particularly fit.
What if I can't attend live?
The workshop will be recorded, so you can experience it in your own time.
What do I need?
Comfortable clothes, enough space to stand and move freely, and somewhere you can sit comfortably for the teaching, breathwork and meditation portions.
Is this mainly theory?
No. There will be teaching because understanding why we do something matters. But a substantial part of our time together will be experiential.
You will move, breathe, practise and experience the principles we explore in your own body.
Before you go back to business as usual,
give yourself a different starting point
Autumn will come.
Your work will still be there. Your responsibilities will still be there. Your calendar will probably become fuller.
But you don't have to enter the new season already running.
Take a few hours to pause.
To move.
To breathe.
To come back to your centre.
And then take that feeling with you into the season ahead.
