Tai chi ch’uan and mindfulness meditation uncover our basic gentleness, strength, health and compassion. Learning how to transform impatience into presence; anxiety into groundedness; fear into fearlessness; and hurry into peace are essential for our times. The precious medicines of Cheng Man-Ch’ing’s Eight Ways of Tai Chi, listening hands and mindfulness meditation are easy to learn and practice anywhere, anytime. We will also explore the movement of the five seasons and five elements, as they guide us to return to balance and health. Please read and bring “There Are No Secrets” by Wolfe Lowenthal and “Practicing Peace in Times of War” by Pema Chodron. These books will guide our study and deepen our embodiment of tai chi and meditation. This will be the first time presentation of the Eight Ways at this retreat.
Larry Welsh M.Ac., MA, has trained in the Yang-style short form, listening hands and sword form of Tai Chi Ch’uan since 1977. He practices Japanese classical acupuncture, herbal medicine and whole-food nutrition in Boulder, Colorado. Larry is senior adjunct professor and mindfulness meditation teacher in the Traditional Eastern Arts program at Naropa University currently on leave.

Upper and lower crossed syndromes are common postural distortions that are increasingly evident in today’s society and can result in acute and chronic pain syndromes.
Crossed syndromes are comprised of shortened and lengthened opposing muscle groups of the neck, shoulder and pelvic girdles that put excessive tension on the soft tissue and articulating joints. Identifying and treating these postural distortions are important in maintaining long-term successful results when treating organ (zang fu) pathology and musculoskeletal injury.

Provider: Michael Young, L.Ac, MSTCM – Michael has been in practice for 22 years. During that time he has specialized in chronic pain, digestive disorders, immune and autoimmune disorders, and psychiatric disorders with and emphasis on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). He is a Full Professor at Southwest Acupuncture College (Boulder branch) where he has taught since their opening in 1997. When DORA decided that injection therapy was in our scope of practice, he pursued training through Heel, Guna, and Joe Swartz, MD and has been sharing his knowledge through injection seminars since 1996. The approach that he uses and teaches is how to use injection therapy as an adjunct to acupuncture mainly for the treatment of stubborn trigger points, however he has also been trained in using injections for cosmetic purposes and homotoxicological approaches to modulate the immune system for patients with chronic infections and/or autoimmunity.
Course: The first part of this class emphasizes safety issues and how to stay within compliance of DORA regulations by knowing how to manage anaphylaxis and other possible side effects of injection therapy. The other parts of the class emphasize understanding and knowing which injectables to use in a particular situation and how to effectively treat Trigger Points with injection therapy. At least 50% of the class involves hands-on training and it is limited to 6 people to ensure that everyone gets enough supervision time to feel confident to apply what they learn immediately.
