My favorite comment on YouTube about it: “This is just so ridiculous — so why am I crying?”
And my second favorite comment: “ANYBODY WHO IS HAVING A BAD DAY SHOULD WATCH THIS VIDEO”
I think I might have to use it, plus Justine’s post, to explain why I love community acupuncture. Or I might just keep watching it over and over.
Some thoughts about the acupuncture profession in the West, Ming vases, orchids, dead languages, Miriam Lee, and cathedrals.
The theme for this conference is “Breaking Barriers”. You know, there are so many barriers to break in acupuncture that it was really hard to choose which ones to talk about for this speech. But since I’ve spent so much time talking about classism as a barrier, I thought it might be fun to shift gears a little and talk about numbers.
This is a unique time; the community
acupuncture movement is in the process of shifting its foundation
from CAN to POCA, from a 501c6 nonprofit to a cooperative. There’s
change happening at every level. We’re only about five years old as
an organization, and yet we’ve done a total overhaul already.

All
true religions seek to gain access to that level of consciousness which
is not ego-bound.
I can’t help it
I keep crying when I see Matt’s video too.
Here’s his website:

love it
can’t stop watching it – there’s a few more scenes in the outtakes vid with Matt dancing with children and there is so much laughter! it’s contagious
it is so amazing to hear
it is so amazing to hear other folks say they cried when they watched the video. Sometimes I think I am soooo weird for reacting in these ways and then I read what my community feels and I feel connected.
Thanks Lisa for all you have done and continue to do to help create this amazing community of acupuncturists.
It heals my heart in many ways
