At the centre of the circle sits the Phoenix which represents Yin (receptive energy), Yang (active energy) and Yung (the dance between them). The Phoenix also reminds us that all of life is subject to the Life-Death-Rebirth Cycle. We all have the possibility to rise from the ashes of our suffering and be reborn again and again to create and recreate in the great Creative Project that is life.

We see this central energy as being the force of attraction between opposites that creates the conditions for life in this universe. For that reason, we sometimes call it the fifth element or love. It is also the silence, the void and the emptiness from which all manifestation arises and to which it returns. It is the place of digestion, rest and all potential. It is the ineffable presence of the Great Mystery.
