Graduate School of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Whether you are an experienced practitioner or a beginner, our seminars will connect you to the rich culture and wisdom of Asian bodywork and qigong. Enroll in our seminars to learn a new skill, expand your current practice, earn Continuing Education units (CEUs), or simply join us for our ongoing weekly qigong classes. All classes are open to the general public, with the exception of the classes marked “Doctoral Level Class” which are for Licensed Acupuncturists only.

If you are interested in learning Asian massage we offer instruction in Shiatsu, Thai, and Tuina massage. Asian massage courses can be taken individually or as part of our certification program (refer to Academics-Massage Certification).

Seminars are offered in the daytime, evenings and in the format of weekend seminars, allowing for flexibility while studying the healing arts. Our seminar series and massage certification programs are taught at both of our campuses, in Santa Cruz and San Jose, California.
