  • "I have found my studies with Lonny Jarrett to be invaluable on many levels. The course has provided in-depth learning and clinical experience with pulse taking and five elements diagnosis, and perhaps more importantly what it means to be a practitioner and the intentionality behind each clinic encounter. My only disappointment is that the course will only last for two years. I have found time with Lonny to be truly inspirational, and it has only intensified my longing to enhance my skills and "seeing" as a practitioner. This course has put me on the right path."-Jessie Shaw, M.S., L.Ac. O.M. Graduate of Tri-State College of Acupuncture, 2002 Keep Reading

  • Overview: An exploration of the ideas behind Dynamic Interactive Acu-bodywork (DIA), developed over a twenty-year period at the Victoria Pain Clinic in British Columbia, Canada. Traditional acupuncture is often performed in a quiet environment with perhaps some gentle background music or incense. In contrast, in DIA the acupuncture experience is intentionally more interactive and dynamic. Active client engagement can facilitate the emergence of deeper energies, such as anger, terror or grief and so on, and relate the energies to current symptoms in such a way as to promote a profound transformational experience. From a Chinese Medicine standpoint, transformation can be understood conceptually as passage through the Golden Gate, as described by Lonny in his various writings on the Husband-Wife imbalance. It perhaps should be emphasized that the idea of DIA is not to dig around in the pit of buried emotions, which tends to go nowhere and support a victim mentality. Rather, the intention of engagement is to promote self-responsibility by connecting clients more deeply to their authentic self. Keep Reading
