In this module we've explored various ways of approaching the concept of the five elements. However, it's important to remember that earth, water, fire, and air are more than just concepts, they are tangible realities that we encounter everyday in our lives. The soil gives us food, we are hydrated and cleansed by water, we are kept alive by air, and fire powers our lives in so many ways.

I hope that the course reminds you of what you love about the world around you. And, that in turn, this deeper sense of connection to earth, water, fire, and air, propels you to take actions, both big and small, to protect our precious planet.

Congratulations- you've completed the first module of the course and you're ready to move onto the earth module (or one of the other modules if you prefer).
