Details of some of the scheduled days at Healing and Acupuncture College.......
(These are scheduled days within the course but it is still possible for students to drop in on individual days by prior arrangement).
Five Element Acupuncture Day. HAC Sess 11. Home
Join our students for a full on 5 elements day including exercises to help you "feel" the elements for yourself. Discussion, demonstration and general chat about an elemental approach to acupuncture. Its interesting, its inspiring, its exciting, its fun, its acupuncture in action.
With Sarah Matheson assisted by Jamie Hedger. Some colleges seem to think that acupuncture is about textbooks, exams, research projects, complex TCM & herbs theory etc .......... We don't. We think its about healing, self development, feeling, experiencing & being. If you are getting bored of your studies, come and enjoy yourself. This is an excellent opportunity for students from other colleges or who have graduated in another discipline which uses 5 element theory to expand their knowledge.
