The Inner Tapestry of Nature’s Gifts: Explore the Inherent Life-Enriching Qualities of Chinese Five Element Theory with Michael Phillips and Katherine Hancock Porter

July 7-8, 2012; Saturday 10 am to Sunday 2 pm
Sevenoaks Retreat Center / $295 includes one overnight and four meals

Join Katherine Hancock Porter and Michael Phillips, long time acupuncturists and teachers of Chinese medicine and philosophy, in a fun, expansive and insightful exploration of these profound gifts in nature. In the height of summer’s fire, we’ll gather to create new community and explore how we access the qualities
of fire and summer in our daily lives. Through reflections on the natural world around us and in our own inner natures, we’ll proceed through the
5 seasons or “elements,” illuminating the tapestry of nature’s gifts
as expressed through our actions and experiences.

Katherine Hancock Porter graduated from Swarthmore College and went on to acupuncture training at the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in 1994, where she earned her Masters Degree. A former Dean of Students, she serves on the faculty of Tai Sophia’s acupuncture program.

and teachers. She offers workshops and maintains her practice of acupuncture in Baltimore.

Michael Phillips, a graduate of Pomona College, received his Masters of Acupuncture degree from the Traditional Acupuncture Institute in Columbia, MD in 1987, where he maintained
his acupuncture practice for 24 years, while TAI evolved into the nationally renowned Tai Sophia Institute. Michael has taught acupuncture and has coached students for over
two decades, developing classes that integrate his training in theater with diagnosis and interpersonal dynamics. He maintains his acupuncture practice in Columbia, Maryland.
