Healing Communities with Nature
Together, we can contribute to the future of this healing medicine. By advancing world-class acupuncture education, supporting our students, and providing unparalleled care to clients and patients, we are strengthening our foundation for the next generation.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication to ITEA and for guiding the way this giving season. Your support truly makes a difference.
The Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture, Inc. (ITEA) is dedicated to excellence in the teaching of pure Classical Five-Element Acupuncture (CF-EA), as taught by J.R. Worsley. We are committed to generating graduates who have a deep understanding and respect for the integrity of the human body, mind, and spirit as it exists within nature. Our students and graduates develop the inner qualities needed to be effective healers. Serving the public at the highest levels of impeccable care and knowledge of CF-EA, graduates inspire future generations as leaders of Classic Five-Element Acupuncture.
Classical Five-Element Acupuncture, or CF-EA, is a powerful healing discipline, grounded in the laws of nature, that balances all levels of a person - the body, the mind, and the spirit. ITEA trains students to diagnose the state of clients by discerning energetic harmony and disharmony through subtle and highly refined observational cues of color, sound, odor, and emotional content. This tradition was practiced by the ancient Chinese, and ITEA honors this history with a spiral approach to learning. Through oral tradition and innovative learning, concepts and ideas are revisited from different viewpoints and with increasingly greater depths.
Interns in Years 3 and 4 work with clients in our student clinic, supervised by highly trained and experienced faculty. Community members attend our clinic for treatment and many find that CF-EA not only provides relief from specific conditions but also improves their sense of well-being, including increased energy, improved sleep, and reduced stress. Most Wednesday evenings, our interns host a Free AcuWellness Clinic for Veterans, first responders and all people in our community. This is just one way we give back to our Colorado community.
Founded in Colorado in 1996, the Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. In 2003, ITEA was granted candidacy status by the Accreditation Commission of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (ACAOM). In 2006, ITEA was authorized by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) to issue graduates the degree of Master of Acupuncture in Classical Five-Element Acupuncture.
