Chinese Medicine
We organise and run International Seminars on Classical Chinese Medicine and associated Public Lectures on Wellness and Healing from a Daoist Healing Arts perspective.
The Way of Balance
Chinese medicine sees health as a living balance between yin and yang, between rest and activity, and between ourselves and the world around us. Treatment aims to restore that balance gently, so the body can do what it already knows how to do: heal.
In the classical view, the seasons shape our health. Spring asks us to grow and stretch, summer to open and connect, autumn to gather and let go, and winter to rest and store our reserves. Living in step with the seasons is one of the oldest forms of preventive care.
Roots and Branches
Acupuncture uses fine, sterile needles at chosen points along the body’s channels to encourage the smooth flow of qi and blood. Most people find treatment deeply relaxing, and many drift off to sleep on the table.
A Chinese herbal formula brings several herbs together, each with its own role: a chief herb for the main concern, and supporting herbs that strengthen, guide or balance it. The formula is shaped to the person, not just the diagnosis.
Seasons of Health
Like water shaping stone, small daily habits such as warm food, regular sleep, gentle movement and quiet breathing slowly shape our health. Chinese medicine calls this yang sheng: nourishing life.
The Five Phases of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water describe how all things grow, transform and return. They offer a way of seeing the organs, the emotions and the seasons as one connected whole.
