This weekend has been created to bring our Five-Element acupuncture community together in a meaningful and supportive way. 

Working in practice can sometimes feel isolating, so time spent together helps strengthen the bonds that remind us we are part of a wider circle of like-minded practitioners. It is also a valuable chance to refresh and deepen our skills in point location, pulse taking and diagnosis through CSOE, all of which need ongoing practice and can easily lose clarity outside a regular learning environment. 

By coming together with colleagues and with the support of more senior practitioners, we can learn from one another and return to practice feeling more confident, more skilled and more connected. The weekend has also been planned with plenty of space to enjoy it socially, with a long lunch break each day from 1pm to 4pm for time with partners, family or friends, to enjoy Sitges, swim, visit Barcelona or simply relax. 

While the supervisory team will offer guidance and as much clarity as possible, we hope everyone comes in a spirit of camaraderie and shared learning. Everyone is warmly welcome and we will be working from the points in Volume 1 (the Red Book), using pulses recorded in volumes rather than qualities and diagnosis through colour, sound, odour and emotion only.

Focus for the Weekend

  • Point location (all points, with demonstrations + hands-on practice)

  • IMPORTANT - we are using the locations found in the Worsley - Volume 1, Meridians and Points) book.

  • Starter Pack points for those who want to master the “essentials” beyond the Command Points)

  • Pulse taking (correct positioning, volume recordings and use in diagnosis)

  • Causative Factor (CF) Diagnosis (colour, sound, odour + emotion)

  • Informal conversation around the Spirit of the points (as time allows)
