The Symbolism of Acupuncture, Part III
Spring and Autumn Institute
May 15-19, 2013
Schleiz, Germany

Presented by Heiner Fruehauf, PhD.

Supported by years of research, in this seminar sinologist Heiner Fruehauf reveals the rich meaning of the acupuncture point names in a unique way. The last in a 3 part series.

医 者 易 也 “Yi zhe yi ye – Medical science is symbol science”

Traditional Chinese medicine is inextricably intertwined with the cosmological, mythological and spiritual images of epochs in which it has developed. The human body as a microcosm reflects the big picture of the surrounding macrocosm. The description of this relationship is found in the name of the acupuncture points. They point to specific constellations, regions, situations and important figures in ancient China, but increasingly also to the relationship with the twelve hexgrams and thus their relationship to the cosmos and humanity’s position between earth and sky.

This seminar is presented in German.

The Calculation of Life According to the Eight Signs
Two workshops presented by Manfred Kubny, PhD

Introductory Workshop: May 17 – 19, 2013
Advanced Workshop: May 24 – 26, 2013
Portland, Oregon

The School of Classical Chinese Medicine at NCNM is pleased to host the Western hemisphere’s only presentation of Professor Manfred Kubny’s seminal work on the Bazi Suanming, “The Calculation of Life According to the Eight Signs”. This highly sophisticated model of Chinese constitutional and medical astrology has very practical implications for clinical practice.

In this workshop, one of the world’s foremost authorities will introduce this traditional Chinese instrument for chrono-biological and chrono-psychological diagnosis. You will learn about the fundamental relationships between the heavenly stems, hidden heavenly stems and earthly branches, providing the foundation for the composition and interpretation of individual “bazi” charts in the Chinese eight pillar system. Bazi Suanming has developed into the central psychological system of Chinese culture. It can be used to add great depth to a psychological or medical assessment.

The Bazi Suanming can be used to support the following:

• Acute and chronic clinical diagnosis
• Individualized lifestyle recommendations
• Optimization of each child’s learning potential
• Personality analysis
• Major life event planning
• Individual and partner counseling
• Crisis management
• Human resource management

Offenbach / Frankfurt, Germany

Presented by Heiner Fruehauf, PhD.

The presented treatment approaches are discussed in the context of 6 confirmations – the subject of the subsequent workshops. In this workshop Prof. Fruehauf will discuss the pathophysiology of 6 confirmations in detail and how they can be influenced by the architecture of his formulas, and explains in detail how he uses the specialty herbs that comprise those formulas. Prof. Fruehauf will illustrate how Chinese medicine, which is based primarily on both clinical results and timeless information from the ages, can fill in the gaps of modern medicine and is an excellent complement.

Being Human: A Deep Analysis of the 12 Organ Systems of Chinese Medicine (Part 3)
ABZ Training Center for Classical Acupuncture – Offenbach / Frankfurt
May 23-26, 2013
Offenbach / Frankfurt, Germany

Presented by Heiner Fruehauf, PhD.

After more than 10 years of extensive research, Prof. Heiner Fruehauf will provide for the first time a map of the cosmology of the Chinese organ networks in a day-long workshop. He and his team have discovered that the macrocosmic science of symbols of ancient China is a kind of linguistic translation of the field of Chinese medicine. Without this form of translation, the organ systems of Chinese medicine are misunderstood and not particularly deep or effective.

In this several day seminar, Heiner Fruehauf will introduce the parameters of an ancient symbol science. He illustrates that it is especially the Shaoyang: Gall Bladder-San Jiao and Jueyin: Liver – Pericardium that orchestrates this microcosmic circular motion. Participants will find that the first architects of Chinese medicine had a much more sophisticated and nuanced diagnosis and treatment, rather than the simple understanding of the organ system which we use today. Through this insight into the deeper aspects of organ systems,  participants will also be able to expand their diagnostic understanding and treatment approaches in order to further differentiate and understand their patients pathologies on a deeper level.

Please note that in past workshops with Heiner Fruehauf at the ABZ CENTER, participants have been deeply stimulated, engaged, and inspired, and particularly enjoyed his relaxed manner and methods of teaching.

This seminar is presented in German.

Shan Ren Dao (Path of the Good Person) Retreat
July 12-27, 2013
Portland, Oregon area

Are you ready to see and be seen again?  This retreat calls forth the very essence of one’s true nature — that which we inherently are —  the light that may have been dimmed but is ever present.

Through the emotional healing system known in China as the “Path of the Good Person” (Shan Ren Dao), this two week immersion  allows for a supported journey into the inner realms, while providing  tools to clear encountered “clutter” and accumulations of a lifetime.

Wang Fengyi, the peasant saint who took these ancient teachings and translated them into a practical and accessible healing system for the 20th century, stated over 100 years ago that in this modern age and moving forward, the healing of the heart would be the most critical element in reclaiming health.   Perhaps even more applicable now, this work and the profound results from it continue to stand the test of time.

Have you ever experienced a regretted outburst of anger? … Or, perhaps you keep it all inside as internal blame. Do you tend to criticize yourself or others – even if only in the confines of your own mind?  Maybe you are constantly overwhelmed by fear or anxiety.  These are some of the core emotions, known for centuries in the wisdom teachings of Chinese Medicine, to harm the body. They create toxic poisons that lodge inside leading to dysfunction at the physical and organ level.  It is these very same emotions and perceptions that drive our internal stress response, considered by many top researchers to be at the root of more than 95% of all disease in the west.

In these two weeks you will begin to clear those toxins from your body.  As you  quite literally begin to “empty out the garbage can”, your inner light will naturally begin to shine forth more clearly.

Limited to applicants who are serious about self transformation (max. 30 participants); subject to application and interview process. Participant slots are expected to fill up rapidly.
