September European Summit in Italy!
CONFIRMED 2026 dates: September 11-13th, Finale Ligure, Italy (Teacher Training September 9-10th) in Finale Ligure, Italy..
Whether you have been with us for years and are looking to get corrections and feedback; have taken training courses with us and want to solidify the skills you have already learned; or have been learning online and now ready to begin training in person, summits are the place to be. Morning sessions focus on acupuncture training to safely yet effectively needle challenging parts of the body; afternoon sessions involve a deep dive into treating specific conditions, covering theory, strategy, acupuncture and herbal protocols, and, of course, partnered practice.
Why are Summits the most important course to take? At Summits, you will meet senior practitioners who have successfully integrated Tangible Acupuncture into their practices and network with colleagues as eager as you to return this medicine to a clinically focused, results based practice like it used to be.
Come train, practice, learn and holiday with the growing community of practitioners seeking a more tangible level of practice for their patients. Come have a holiday. Come build a personal relationship with the teachers.
WHO CAN ATTEND?
Please read carefully before purchasing course! This course is only open to practitioners in ACTIVE practice using acupuncture to treat patients every week.
This particular course is not open to students or hobby practitioners—please attend our many other courses designed for students and new practitioners not yet in full practice. This restriction is to ensure all participants are confident and experienced at needling so that partner work is not about learning technique but about adopting strategies and protocols.
We also strongly urge you to have attended in person or watch one or more of the online versions of these courses to maximize your learning experience:
• Manipulating with Acupuncture (Nine Essential Needling Techniques)
• Chinese Bodywork for Clinical Practice
• Tangible Acupuncture for Orthopedic Injuries
• Tangible Acupuncture for Internal Medicine
It is also strongly urged they have an active Daoyin practice, such as: 100 Days of Pulling Qi
