INTERNAL CULTIVATION

We believe that the inner cultivation of the student is an essential component of the development of the master practitioner.  Regular Qi Gong sessions are offered at the college before morning class: open to students, graduates, staff, faculty and patients alike.  Independent study assignments include the ongoing practice of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Aikido or other energetic discipline of the student’s choice.  Students are required to receive personal acupuncture treatment during their course of study as well as experience other forms of complementary medicine.  Students are asked to undertake monthly voluntary work within the human community.  Each student class will have a plot of land at the Ridgeway property to tend during their student life, to grow vegetables or flowers and create earth and/or water sculptures etc. as they deem appropriate to the weather, the land and the indigenous population of amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, insects, bacteria and plants.

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
Lao Tzu.
