Communal Community Acupuncture @ Magnolia House, Rose Bay

Communal acupuncture is where a group of people receive an acupuncture treatment in the same room. It's not as crazy as it sounds! 

Firstly a lot of common acupuncture points are easily accessible with clothes on! 

Secondly there is a very pleasant dynamic with a group of people doing the same thing in unison. It's a powerful and transformative process.

In this picture you can see the basic set up and where we practice, in the church hall area. 

For only $19 you get the same acupuncture treatment as compared to regular prices. However with less of the VIP set up, but still the same effect. In fact the effect may even be more profound due to the psychology of the group dynamic, at the very least!

Plus it's not for profit, so you're surrounded by people who love what they are doing. That in itself is a special and lovely feeling.

Magnolia Healing Centre: Acupuncture Clinic

I thought it would be nice to show you around Magnolia House healing centre in Rose Bay, NSW. It's a church building, as you can see from the pictures, and the congregation has moved on. The space is now a dynamic healing centre and includes music, art therapy, counseling and also where I come in: acupuncture.

Working inside a church is really is a great privilege and I love it! There is such a sense of calm respect in there. It really is a very beautiful experience. Furthermore I am doing community treatments here and the feeling behind doing that is different. It's so much more relaxed than acupuncture as a business. I am surrounded by great people and patients know that you are doing them a favour with reduced cost treatments and the effort you put in. I found it very humbling and just feels good!

Soon the main hall will develop into a communal community acupuncture space. I can imagine patients getting an acupuncture treatment while they chat to each other, someone plays their favourite instrument and at any moment there will be a cup of tea, ready. Home bake cake and the picture is perfect!!

Here is a labyrinth that was used for the open day a while back near winter solstice

 Here's me helping paint a labyrinth beforehand!

Representing a journey to our own centre and back out into the world, labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.  It is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience. We can walk this metaphor for life's journey. It is a symbol that creates a sacred space and place and takes us out of our ego to "That Which Is Within."

Our Community Dance will honour Global Water Dances a world event – 24 hour series of dances around the globe, centred around water issues. “Flow, the medium of dance/movement, can connect community, just as water connects people.” http://www.globalwaterdances.org/event.html
