I was honored to be invited and to present at the congress of the British Council of Acupuncture, where I also had the pleasure of reconnecting with old friends.
One of the most inspiring is Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée – a true master and one of the most profound Sinologists of our time.
Her lecture beautifully explored the cycles of life and the process of aging, using the image of bamboo – strong yet flexible, deeply rooted yet ever-growing – as a symbol of graceful aging and inner resilience.
I also took part in two panels discussing how these cycles are reflected in Traditional Chinese Medicine, both in classical philosophy and clinical application.
Grateful for the opportunity, the inspiration, and the rich exchange of knowledge
