Thank you so so so much! It has been a VERY revealing course for me, I felt this connection with Chinese medicine for a long time and it made me very good to see it in someone with more experience and wisdom. I will share this knowledge with my students and treasure it in my heart. Thank you very much!!!!

wonderful teaching

Thank you so much for the wonderful teaching. I held onto every word.

The reminder that “time is urgent, so let’s slow down” especially 🙂 I’ve been practicing that since, and will continue to.

excellent presentation

November 17, 2020

Thanks for letting me attend this excellent presentation. I too studied with JR Worseley in the 1970s so it was quite nostalgic.

One striking aspect of the talk is the following: at the start Lorie looked pleasant but unremarkable. By the time the talk ended she looked vibrant and glowing as if lit by a light from within, it was quite remarkable.

I am so glad the talk is available to watch again,

best wishes, Elizabeth
