To the Point: The Basics of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Art by Luke Atkinson
Acupuncture, the ancient healing art that’s been practiced for thousands of years in China, has achieved mainstream clinical and financial success in the modern West. The World Health Organization considers it a successful treatment for numerous conditions, including lower-back pain, headaches, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Join us for a stimulating exploration of one of the oldest healing modalities in the world. Students will learn the basic history and theory of acupuncture, and experience Qi through several embodied exercises. You will NOT learn how to stick needles in people to achieve a therapeutic effect. (You need to go to school and get a license for that.)
