A unique class meeting in 6 afternoon sessions, one meeting a month, covering health and the normal functioning of the body, mind and energetics within TCM.

First Meeting May 25, 2013
In our first meeting we'll focus on qi and the symbolic use of numbers traditionally used to describe the processes of nature and of life. This is a particularly important topic that is often left out of modern traditional Chinese medicine education. It provides a key of sorts for understanding the underlying logic of Chinese medicine. We'll also discuss the context of human life between heaven and earth and what we can do to begin nourishing life within us by moving in accordance with nature.
