Community Acupuncture Clinic With Tova Steiner, LAc
Dates: Friday, December 06, 2024 - Friday, January 10, 2025
Location: Arlington
In-Person
During this community clinic patients will choose from one of two treatments: one to reduce stress, or one to boost energy. In community acupuncture, many people are treated simultaneously in one large room – this is the way acupuncture is administered in most places in the east. By treating patients in a community setting, more people can be treated in the same amount of time, and costs can be greatly reduced, thus making this type of medicine more accessible to more people. Slots begin on the half hour.

Dates: Sunday, December 15, 2024

Have you have tried meditation alone and given up, believing that it’s just not right for you? Or do you feel comfortable with a private routine but want to enrich that experience? Maybe the pace of world events is unbearable or—on the other end a spectrum—you are suffering a private loss that leaves you grieving. The good news is that throughout human history, people have gathered together in times of jubilation and sorrow. Now is no different. Each session will include centering, presentation of the topic, guided meditation, silence or journaling, group discussion, and a "Zen in Ten" movement/breath practice. Attend a la carte or all four - your choice!
