"To titrate our experience is to keep ourselves in an intentional place of choice and safety by opening and closing the tap on our emotions. It's a process by which we slow down our internal response emotional, cognitive, and physiological so that we can more effectively process incoming information and get back into our rational mind."

We mourn the loss of activist and Poet Laureate of San Francisco Diane di Prima. May her prolific body of work inspire us still. Revolutionary Letter #4 Left t...o themselves people grow their hair. Left to themselves they take off their shoes. Left to themselves they make love sleep easily share blankets, dope & children they are not lazy or afraid they plant seeds, they smile, they speak to one another. The word coming into its own: touch of love; on the brain, the ear. See more

Last Saturday ACTCM celebrated National Acupuncture Medicine Day by hosting a pop-up clinic on the patio of our community clinic in San Francisco's Potrero Hill... neighborhood. Find out more about our clinic here: www.actcm.edu/clinic This was also a special day because ACTCM was incorporated exactly 40 years prior, on Oct 24, 1980. For the last 40 years, ACTCM has trained thousands of students to become practitioners and leaders in the field of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. We are proud that our students are continuing this legacy and commitment in providing accessible acupuncture and healthcare services to our community.
