Applied Channel Theory Level 1: An Introduction to Channel Physiology and Palpation
Dr. Wang Ju-Yi’s Applied Channel Theory provides a framework based in classical Chinese medicine theories to help practitioners better understand the physiological mechanisms that are contributing to their patients’ health concerns. This approach gives practitioners practical skills that help us decipher patient symptoms in combination with hands-on techniques that guide us towards clear diagnoses and treatments. This two day course will introduce students and practitioners to the foundations of channel physiology in the 6 levels and channel palpation techniques through interactive lectures and hands-on practice. It’s a great opportunity to learn a new diagnostic tool that you can bring back to your practice to help streamline your treatments. Your instructor for the weekend will be Nyssa Tang, one of Dr. Wang’s apprentices.
Participants: Licensed acupuncturists (14 CEUs) and students. Class size will be limited to 20 participants.

Finding Balance
Colleen Ho’s ripped paper drawings evoke the rhythms found in music and nature. Using only a thumbtack, she creates precise rips on the paper surface and the tactile nature of her work draws you in close and encourages you to slow down and take it in. Her work is currently being shown at The Shirley Project Space in Brooklyn until December 8, 2024. On Novemeber 9th, Colleen will be in conversation with Nyssa Tang about the overlapping themes in her work and in Chinese medicine.
Applied Channel Theory in practice: Grand Rounds
This will be a day-long class where Nyssa Tang will demonstrate ACT treatments on 4 volunteer patients and show the process from intake, channel examination and diagnosis to treatment. There will be time after each treatment to have dialogue about how the channel findings help us understand the channel-organ physiology, point selection and point location. This will hopefully be an ongoing offering and each date will center around a particular system. For October 27th, the focus will be on treating gynecology. Class size will be limited to 10 participants.
Participants: Licensed acupuncturists (7 CEUs), priority will be given to practitioners who have the basic foundations of ACT.
Tuition: $300. Payment in full is required to save a spot in this class.
