The Heart in the Clinic is a unique opportunity to fully engage the 5 channel systems of classical Chinese medicine in practice. In each day we will review theory, strategy and formulation for treatments in each of the 5 channel systems. In supervised sessions each participant will have the opportunity to needle, to take pulses, to formulate herbal remedies and to discuss lifestyle recommendations.
In this small and intimate setting that mirrors your clinic, you will get to experience a range of perspectives from the microcosmic to the macrocosmic, from the terrain of substance to the temple of spirit, inviting new insights to illuminate the many facets of the clinical dialogue. Unique in this setting will be the way we will work with each other. You will be asked to consider being giver and receiver in many capacities; as practitioner, client, teacher, student, animal, and human. Fundamental to the view inherent in the classical system is to allow yourself to experience the whole, the world as it were, while holding the specifics of the moment. In this intensive and focused setting it is possible to gain an experiential knowing that reflects both precise intention and myriad possibilities while bringing your work with classical Chinese medicine to a new level of depth and understanding.
