The Purple Cloud Institute prides itself on teaching the highest quality content from a variety of teachers, traditions and lineages in the field of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, traditional Chinese martial arts and health practices, religious and spiritual practice and various other cultural pursuits. These include:
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
Wang Ju-Yi style Channel Palpation and Acupuncture :
Wang Ju-Yi was a internationally renown Chinese medicine practitioner, designated as a “National Grandmaster” by the Beijing Administration of Chinese Medicine, famous for his teaching on palpation diagnosis of acupuncture channels. After many years spent studying under his guidance, The Purple Cloud Institute continues his tradition of Chinese medical diagnosis and treatment.
Tangible Acupuncture for Internal and External Diseases:
The Purple Cloud Institute is affiliated with the Association for Traditional Studies and is dedicated to bringing the study of these teachings, including acupuncture and herbal medicine, to the Southern Hemisphere. These teachings were taught under several mentor-disciple relationships in China outside of the university system, and as such are rarely seen in the West.
Classical Herbal Medicine:
At the Purple Cloud Institute we believe the best way to learn herbal medicine is to start at the beginning, historically speaking, and work forward from there. We teach thorough analysis of famous ancient Chinese classical texts as well as more obscure ones to better understand them in context, in order that their deeper teachings are better understood.
