Healthy Living Acupuncture: Binghamton and Oneonta New York

Chinese medicine, like Ayurvedic medicine, its Indian counterpart, is the science of life. This science is dedicated to grasping the laws of the life force, which includes: its flow, or movement; its balance, or harmony; its change, or transmutation (qi hua); its rhythms, or cycles; its origin, supply, assimilation, transformation, storage, release, and excretion; its pathways; its correspondences; and its functions. All of these are susceptible to a precisely refined and sophisticated diagnostic methodology.

…

In Chinese medicine, one studies and treats the person, and not the disease, whereas in the west, we treat the disease and not the person.

Carefree Gardens, Cooperstown, NY

June 22, 2025
10:00am – 4:00pm

In this experiential course, you will learn to harness your inherent life-force more deeply by establishing a conscious connection with it, experiencing how it moves, and discovering ways of enhancing it.

10:00am – Noon

The morning session will begin with gentle Pranayama breathing exercises to open your channels, followed by a Calm Abiding meditation. Then we’ll transition into a delightful Jin Jing (Tendon Strengthening) Qigong practice that will help free and strengthen your whole body.

*Wear loose, comfortable clothing (as you might for a yoga class)

Noon – 1:00pm Lunch Break
(bring your own or purchase at Origins Cafe)

1:00pm – 4:00pm
(including a tea break)

In the afternoon, we will deepen our exploration of what Qi actually is: how it’s generated and the patterned ways it moves. We’ll talk about daily and seasonal cycles, emotions, foods and herbs, and how they affect our energy.

I’m really looking forward to this upcoming 13 month Acupuncture Master Class with one of my most influential Chinese Medicine teachers, Heiner Fruehauf. I was very fortunate to attend his 14 month course on Classical Herbal Formulations last year…I came away from each class so inspired, brimming with new insights and understandings that have significantly enhanced my clinical practice. And in December, I’ll join him again for a week of Qigong in Mexico. Forever grateful to you Heiner for sharing your knowledge and wisdom! 🙏

This 13-month certificate program is designed to further the lifelong learner’s journey as they deepen their mastery of acupuncture point selections based on the profound information embedded in their classical names. It accommodates the needs and interest of all levels, from students of Chinese m...

If you’re interested in healing with plants or just love nature, you’ll feel right at home surrounded by the sweet community that comes together for this event. So many excellent teachers and outstanding topics—there’s something for everyone!

I’ll be teaching “Maintaining Your Center with Chinese Medicine” where we’ll learn some simple methods from Chinese Medicine, Qigong, and Tibetan Buddhism that can help us ground our bodies, smoothen our breath, and bring equanimity to our minds.
