Hello Fellow Acupuncturist,

 

We are excited to bring an Acupuncturists Without Borders training

to New York, hosted by Pacific College of Oriental Medicine (16 total CEUS,

NCCAOM and CA approved, including 4 for Ethics/Safety requirement). We hope you

will consider joining us!

 

Here are some details about this opportunity to attend a powerful

workshop that may change your practice and your life. Community acupuncture is

an amazing way to bring acupuncture to people who may not otherwise experience

this classic form of healing.

 

Please take a moment to read about what AWB is doing and how you can

get involved.

 

Participation in an AWB training is not solely for the purpose of

becoming an AWB volunteer. We welcome all attendees, whether or not you will

become, or already are, an AWB volunteer.

Testimonials from Albuquerque weekend training:

 

" The weekend was filled with personal experiences and stories and

group interactions that were both serious and light-hearted. What a fun time! "

 

" Great weekend! Diana, you are an excellent communicator. You helped

to create a comfortable atmosphere where people were inspired to share for the

benefit of all. The QiGong was fabulous - harmonizing, community building, Qi

flowing. "

 

" I feel great leaving the workshop even if I were never involved

beyond today. I feel renewed and rejuvenated! Excited about my work and career! "
