About Folks Healing
Folks Healing is an expanded healing and learning offering living alongside BCA, rooted in seasonal living, preventive care, and embodied self-care.
Folks Healing brings together education, clinical care, and shared practice within a coherent cosmology rooted in seasonality, relationship, and lived experience. It is a living pathway — shaped by ancestry reclaimed, medicine practiced in community, and cosmology lived through the body and the seasons.
Folks Healing offers:
on-going in-person classes that help you learn how to embody Chinese medicine
seasonal Sunday drop-in clinics to support patients living in relationship — to season, body, and community
Folks Healing Apprenticeship grounded in seasonal rhythm, cosmology, and embodied care explored through presence, connection, and real-life practice
Folks Healing offerings

No. BCA remains exactly the same — a place to receive acupuncture care for pain, stress, illness, and imbalance. Same clinic, same values, same commitment to accessibility.
-
BCA focuses on treating dis-ease when something is out of balance. Folks Healing focuses on prevention—cultivating ways of living that support ease over time. They are complementary expressions of the same medicine.
-
No. Folks Healing does not replace BCA clinic offerings and does not change your care. Folks Healing expands how healing is shared and practiced within the BCA clinic space.

There are two main ways:
As a patient:
You can receive care at the Folks Healing Drop-In Sunday Clinic, which is open to the public.As a learner:
You can join the Folks Healing Seasonal Foundations programs which offer seasonal self-care practices, embodied learning, and community study. No prior healing or medical experience is required.
Some people participate in one, others in both.

Because healing doesn’t only happen on the treatment table. Folks Healing supports understanding the body, seasons, and everyday practices that nourish health—alongside receiving care.
Seasonal Foundations introduces participants to healing through seasonal awareness, self-care practices, and shared learning.
