Using the Shang Han Lun as a Guide to Realignment with Nature*
Delving more deeply into the topic of the relationship between classical Chinese medicine and the natural environment, we will explore the Shang Han Lun as a manual describing how to correct our patients’ misalignment with nature. We will also discover what trees, forests, and mycelium can teach us about our own bodies and health, and how this relates to the classical texts. You will leave with practical tools for applying herbal formulas most successfully.
Combining Scalp Acupuncture and Manual Therapy for Movement Disorders
In the 1950s, scalp acupuncture masters, ahead of their time, posited that the whole network could be rewired if the brain could be rewired. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s capability to adjust its activity in response to new situations, as well as to compensate for injury. Since the brain has a lifelong capability to make new synaptic connections, it is not surprising that this potential can be put to beneficial use in treating patients with neurological disorders.
Electroacupuncture and Reproductive Medicine
Examine the use of electroacupuncture in treating reproductive medicine patients. The effect of electrostimulation on the hypothalamus and pituitary system can affect all areas of reproductive health related to hormone release, particularly the receptiveness of the endometrium, follicular growth and oxygenation of the cells, and in-vitro fertilization. Point selection, electrostimulation frequencies, contraindications, and treatment duration will be discussed to achieve optimal results.
The Art and Science of Resonance in Chinese Medicine
Explore how to envision the ideal practitioner as both a “scholar” and “technician” — a person practicing both a trained skill and an intuitive art. After introducing the rationale for viewing Chinese medicine as the “art and science of resonance/macrocosmic attunement,” we will explore what this means in clinical practice using classical sources such as Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic and Sun Simiao’s Thousand Gold Formulary.

Classical East Asian Medicine and our Relationship with the Natural Environment
Introduction to classical East Asian medicine as an inherent invitation into a profound connection with the rhythms, cycles and substance of the natural world. The most ancient texts repeatedly illustrate these relationships and try to teach us that the real medicine is in our alignment with them.
Treating Neurological Patients in an Integrative Setting
We will explore an integrative approach to Chinese and Western medicine in a Western medical center. The ability to explain Chinese medicine in Western terms will improve our ability to collaborate with healthcare practitioners and gain the confidence of patients. We will present fascia as one approach to explaining the actions and effects of Chinese medicine. We will also describe the use of scalp acupuncture combined with physical, occupational, and speech therapy to treat patients in a neurological rehabilitation center.
