——— About the Earth Season Learning Lab Series ———

Every quarter (during the Earth months), we take a moment to ground ourselves and come together as a community.

The Learning Labs are designed for anyone that has completed the Balance System Acupuncture Foundations (Levels 1+2/Single+Multiple Balance) courses (in person or by webinar). We talk about various ailments and issues that are common in clinics from a Single Balance and/or Multiple Balance perspective. This is a time to learn from each other and to develop connections and friendships.

These Learning Labs will be an opportunity to ask questions, go over tricky cases, review a concept or share a success story you are proud of. It is a fluid setup that will be adjusted to the needs of the attendees.

No two Learning Labs are ever the same!
