The Role of Emotions in Chinese Medicine

Saturday, October 27, 2012 - Sunday, October 28, 2012 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.


Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallee speaks about the role of the emotions in Chinese medicine, as she has come to understand it through her extensive research in classical Chinese medical literature. Elisabeth has a long history of teaching and friendship with Tai Sophia. Along with Father Larre, she was an early inspiration for the understanding of numerology as the foundation of Taoist philosophy. She continues to inspire us with a grasp of classical theory, characters, officials, and points that is both rigorous and precise.
