The Alchemy of Healthy Aging: Sparking the ShenApril 15, 16, 2023
Virtual
Earn 14 CEU's / NCCAOM PDA's The pursuit of alchemy is one of the more profound legacies of the ancient world. Its purpose is to liberate the spirit from matter, and in Taoist alchemical practices, thereby promote longevity, even immortality; in the context of what we can refer to as “facial” alchemy, facial and constitutional needling liberates Shen spirit from within the body, which manifests as increased radiance in the face. The face thereby provides a “window” into the alchemical retort, allowing us to witness the transformative process as it takes place. We refer to this process as “sparking” the Shen.

I’m also overjoyed to know that there are teachers, like you, who work tirelessly to preserve the sacred heart of acupuncture, which has, at times, been summarily rejected by too many of those who practice this medicine.” - H. L., L. Ac., Los Angeles, CA “I was inspired by Mary Elizabeth Wakefield and MichelAngelo’s applied knowledge of these systems and concepts to create such a rich framework for integration. It was truly a pleasure to have had the opportunity to learn from them in a small group setting.” - P. C., M.
