Thursday (Next meets virtually: Mar 19, Spring Equinox)

Join together in community (online) as we honor the quarterly change of season. Staying in tune with nature’s rhythms keeps us connected to our planet, to each other, and grounded in our lives.

The ritual includes thoughtful discussion about the approaching season coupled with energy clearing through sound healing, meditation, and contemplation. Divine insight is invited in and each participant will receive the energy of an Angel card picked just for them.

Set your intention as you release the ending season and walk through the portal into the new one.

Tuina Fundamentals: Shanghai Style
Friday–Monday, February 27 – March 2, 2026
with Bill Helm

This four-day, in-person intensive offers a rare opportunity to study foundational Shanghai-style Tuina with Bill Helm, who brings over five decades of immersion in Chinese martial, healing, and Taoist arts. Bill’s teaching reflects not only technical precision, but lived transmission — the kind that can only be conveyed through hands-on practice, presence, and shared clinical inquiry.

Whether you attend a single day or the full training, you will gain practical, immediately applicable skills that can meaningfully elevate the quality, effectiveness, and confidence of your hands-on care. Each day is thoughtfully structured to support integration through clear instruction, demonstration, and extensive supervised practice.

An often-overlooked benefit of this training:
In addition to refining your skills, you will both give and receive treatment throughout the weekend. Many participants leave feeling not only more confident clinically, but physically refreshed, grounded, and inspired — ready to return to practice with renewed clarity and energy.

Module 1: Daily Clinical Focus

Hand Techniques and Fully Body Protocol - Shanghai Style
Friday, February 27, 2026

Tuina for the Spine: Cervical, Neck, Thoracic, and Lumbar
Saturday, February 28, 2026

Tuina for the Upper Extremity: Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist and Hand
Sunday, March 1, 2026

Tuina for the Lower Extremity: Hip, Knee, Ankle and Foot
Monday, March 2, 2026

This module marks the beginning of our 2026 orthopedic Tuina series.
Courses may be taken individually and out of sequence; however, we strongly recommend completing the series in order to support progressive skill development and clinical mastery.

If you feel drawn to deepen your relationship with this medicine — through your hands, your presence, and your clinical understanding — we would be honored to have you join us.

The world is both burning and blooming.

You get the bad news and the sunrise in the same day.

You cry over the headlines, then you laugh at a baby wearing a hat shaped like a bear.

This is the dual citizenship of being alive.

Rage and reverence.
Grief and grace.
You are allowed to feel both.

You are allowed to scream and still notice how good the soup is.

You don't have to choose.
Let it all in.
