2024 Clinical Practicum
in person in San Geronimo, California, USA
September 27th-29th, 2024
Open to all students previously or concurrently enrolled in the Shang Han Lun, Jin Gui, Tang Ye Jing or Circle of Life courses
18 CEUs/PDAs pending
(CAB provider #1005, NCCAOM provider#1134)
Please join us for this first in person reunion on September 27-28, in the San Geronimo Valley, in bucolic West Marin in the northern San Francisco Bay!
~
We will spend the first day studying pulses and pulse patterns of the Shang Han Za Bing Lun 傷寒雜病論 and the Mai Jing 脈經, practicing on one another. Particular attention will be given to interpreting the pulse in terms of the circular dynamics of Fire and Water, and to ascribing specific pulse patterns to each of the 6 conformations. Weather allowing, some of this day will be spent outdoors in the nearby meadow.
The second day will be a clinical theater, where we will observe and analyze visiting patient cases, and devise formulae based on symptoms, pulse and tongue.
The third day, weather allowing, we will gather at the nearby Samuel P. Taylor State Park for an outdoor classroom session, and spend the morning discussing any questions and clarifying what we learned over the preceding days; then you are welcome to stay for a catered celebratory picnic lunch in a beautiful redwood grove! Staying is optional and isn’t part of the seminar, but is a way for us to have community and fun after exerting our brains…
... or, keep talking about herbs!
