2023 Conferences & Seminars
EcoTour at Healing Spirits Herb Farm: Our EcoTour adventure at Healing Spirits Herb Farm with owners Andrea and Matthias in the southern tier of NYS was wonderful! We arrived Thursday August 3rd, and over the next several days we learned about Seed to Store as we explored the ins and outs of an herbal farm, took an extensive farm tour, herb walk, and tour of a mushroom house. It was an amazing experience - scroll down to see photos and a slideshow video of our adventures.
NYCAVMA Annual Conference: November 15th - 19th 2023 Linda Boggie lectured on the Spirit of Acupuncture for us at Menla Mountain, 375 Pantherkill Rd, Phoenicia, NY 12464. Recordings of this conference are available to purchase HERE.
LECTURE TOPIC:
Exploration of the Extraordinary Vessels, an invitation to understanding one's self as well as others.
LECTURE DETAILS:
The Extraordinary Vessels are the foundational system of channels according to Chinese medical theory. The formation of this channel system begins in the dividing ovum and as the embryo and subsequent fetus develop, their energetics and pathways are continually laid down assuring the development of an individual. All other channel systems are birthed by the Extraordinary Vessels, which continue to support the body through an individual's life; its structure and function. They will also play a continual role in supporting the other channels systems of the body, such as the Sinew and Primary channels.
The Qing Qi Ba Mai not only provide the blueprint for an individual's structure, physical strengths and weaknesses; they also support the mental and emotional capabilities to deal with the challenges that time presents as one ages. Understanding the breadth of support the Vessels provide for an individual's continued development in life gives the practitioner options to see a patient's struggle with challenges, external or internal, and offer other treatment strategies that can be integral to provide healing and stabilization. They are also an invitation to explore one's own development, response to challenges in life, and allow the practitioner the ability to reflect and grow on their own path in this life.
The NYCAVMA was a sponsor of the ACVBM's 2023 Annual Conference, which featured lectures by Mark Plotkin and Kevin Spelman. Recordings are available to purchase HERE.
