Wilderness trips

To truly understand how the 5-elements work in our clients and ourselves, we need to immerse ourselves in the elements. Through multi-day wilderness adventures, participants will deepen their appreciation for the natural world and its healing wisdom. Acupuncturists will enhance their understanding of how to clinically integrate the energetic dynamics of the elements in their work.

Facilitated by David Ford, L.Ac., we will explore the natural world through energetic practices, art, poetry, sharing with the community and personal reflection. Participants will experience the elements, the points, and a deep resonance with the natural world, heaven, earth and the Tao.

Multi-Day Wilderness Series
Awakening to the Elements Within with David Ford, L.Ac.

Alaska: Glacier Bay
1st of July - 12th of July 2010
3rd of Aug. - 14th of Aug. 2010
From Gustavus, Alaska we will travel by boat to a 14 square-mile island at the mouth of Glacier Bay in Southeast Alaska. We will spend nine days in a cabin surrounded by rainforest, which we will explore by day. Many mornings we will be greeted by humpback whales feeding in the kelp bed in front of the house, followed by sea lions, otters and a variety of sea birds.

During our daily hikes and evening gatherings, we will deepen our understanding of the elements on a vibrational level. The power of the water will always be present, as the powerful tides of Southeast Alaska create deep movement. The trip will have ample opportunity for personal time, as well as gathering time to share our inspiration and learning. Returning home, your life will be infused with greater insight into the five elements. Healing professionals will discover new ways to apply this profound medicine to their clinical practice.
