June 6-7, 2025 in Seattle- An exploration of Favorite Points- Lessons Learned from Applied Channel Theory

Location: Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine (www.sieam.edu)

More Information here- 14 NCCAOM and California PDAs pending

Dates: June 6-7, 2025

Instructors: Yefim Gamgoneishvili and Jason Robertson

This interactive two-day class will explore the practical application of commonly used points by two senior apprentices of Dr. Wang Juyi (王居易). An understanding of the fundamentals of Applied Channel Theory and channel palpation are strongly encouraged for those considering the course.

Beijing professor Wang Juyi would often use a metaphor when talking about the nature of acupuncture points. He would say that:

‘Points are like friends we know. Some friends we might do anything with- go on a walk, go on vacation together or have over for dinner any day of the week. Other points are like friends we see rarely, but when there is an event that we know we both like, we get together. Although rarely seen, we still might have a deep relationship with these friends rooted in a very specific interest’.

This class will be an event where two old friends and fellow apprentices get together to go deeply and thoroughly into points they know well and use often.

June 28-29, 2025. SUgar Grove North Carolina- Integrating Structural Assessment and Internal Medicine

Location: Jung Tao School (www.jungtao.edu)

More Information here 15 NCCAOM PDAs pending

Dates: June 28-29, 2025

Instructor: Jason Robertson

This hands-on weekend seminar will provide students with practical skills for using channel palpation to evaluate the interplay of structure and function in East Asian medicine. Major distal and local points will be presented and practiced for evaluating structure and function of the feet, legs, pelvis, body trunk, thoracic/lumbar regions, rib cage, neck and head. Students will learn how palpation and assessment of body alignment can allow for diagnostic refinement using a six-channel qi transformation (六經氣化 liù jīng qì huà) model.

This two-day course will be limited to those who have taken a previous course in Applied Channel Theory taught either by Dr. Robertson or another apprentice of Dr. Wang Juyi. Practitioners who have not had prior training in Applied Channel Theory will have the opportunity to complete a pre-recorded 1-day lecture (7.5 PDAs with separate registration by contacting CE@jungtao.edu) to gain that exposure.
