June 9, 2024, 9 am - 5 pm — 7 PDAs (PE-AT) $225 full day / $140 half-day
The Consultation Clinics support each practitioner's development in the clinical application of Five Element Acupuncture. The emphasis is on CSOE, clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Practitioners bring patients who are not progressing as they would expect. We interview the patient in a treatment room with 8 observers, discuss, and provide feedback. The patient is treated, and we observe the change. Follow-up treatment plans are provided to practitioners. Observers get hands-on experience with pulses, color, sound, odor, and emotion. We see 4 patients/day. Be affirmed in one's skill set and met at a new growing edge. We provide a learning environment that supports being a beginner regardless of your experience level.

If this class were church, I would go every Sunday. It is powerful to be in practice with others AND be reminded of other practices, stories, and possibilities. — Workshop participant Diane Juray
This class was a breath of fresh air for my spirit. It felt so good to be back in a mindful community, doing the deep work in an engaging and fun way. These simple and profound practices have already started to positively influence how I show up in the treatment room and the world. I can't wait for the next one. Highly recommended! — Workshop participant Corey Timbers
