The Daode Jing and its Influence on Chinese Medicine
with Stephen Boyanton
12 Week Course
Beginning on September 2
Among the most popular and most frequently translated books in the world, the Daode jing—or Laozi, as it is usually called in Chinese—has influenced poets, philosophers, and ordinary people for over two millennia for good reason. In spite of being intentionally enigmatic and often paradoxical, it is beautiful and profound and can offer meaningful advice on how to live in a difficult world. It also had an influence on the development of Chinese medicine, but not in the way most people believe. Chinese medicine did not emerge out of Taoism for the simple reason that Taoism did not exist at that time, but its basic approach to health, illness, treatment, and the world as a whole were deeply influenced by the Daode jing through another avenue: the Huang-Lao movement of the early Han dynasty (206 BCE-220 CE) which claimed to combine the teachings of the Yellow Emperor and Laozi.

Working with Cancer Patients with Classical East Asian Medicine
with Sharon Weizenbaum
8 Session Course from October 2 - January 8
This course presents a classical East Asian medical approach to working with cancer patients, grounded in physiology rather than disease naming.
Rather than treating “cancer” as a singular entity, we explore how illness arises from the breakdown of the body’s fundamental movements, opening, descending, pivoting, storing, and transforming. Particular emphasis is placed on the role of Yang as the motive force of life, and how its constraint, collapse, or misdirection leads to the formation of masses, accumulation, and systemic decline.

14 Week Online Course beginning September 7th
