Influence of Shamanism into Chinese Medicine

Program Description

All roots of medicine can be traced to shamanism – the process by which an initiate or cultivator gains access to different realms of consciousness – and the revelations that are carried forth from such realms into the process of healing.  Recognizing the potential inherent in every healer to draw upon such realms, the focus of this seminar is to introduce and explore with its participants facets of shamanic journeys and its influence over the eventual systemization of early Chinese medicine.  Utilizing and explaining the shamanic tools, such as visualization, chanting, drumming, and bodily movements, participants will be able to add other repertoires to their healing modalities.  More importantly, it is the intention of this seminar to deepen the understanding of the practice of Chinese acupuncture and herbs. 

Current practitioners will receive thirteen (13) continuing education units (PDA points) for completion of the class. A CEU certificate of completion will be given at the end of the CEU. Attendees must attend both classes in its entirety to receive the certificate.

Attendance for both days is required to receive PDA credits from NCCAOM.

Licensed Acupuncturists must provide their license number when registering for this event.
