Qi Gong, Acupuncture, & Traditional Chinese Medicine- Los Angeles Workshop
In this workshop, participants will get a chance to experience the 6 Healing Sounds of Qi Gong 六字訣 at Ladera Park. This will be led by Dorian Lam of Awaken Remedies. This Qi Gong includes simple movements and sounds to support emotional balancing in the Traditional Chinese Medicine elements. This can be done sitting or standing, and is suitable for all ages. We recommend participants dress in warm, comfortable clothing.
Afterwards, Community Acupuncture will be offered in a trauma-informed approach, given seated, or on your yoga mat in a group setting, and treatment lasts around 20 - 30 minutes. Acupuncture needles will go on on the ears, and is great for regulating the nervous system for emotional stress and trauma.
In the time remaining, we will have a casual Q+A with an introduction to the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and its holistic health system, and how TCM modalities like acupuncure, cupping, herbs, and qi gong can help support our physical health and emotional body to treat imbalances and prevent illness.

She believes self-healing can only take place in a safe space where we can begin to release the rooted trauma and emotions that led to physical illnesses in the body.
We recommend that you snack beforehand, stay hydrated, bring a hat, with a recommendation to bring your own yoga mat if you want to lay down comfortably for treatment. Some chairs will also be provided.
