Divergent channels class

with ann cecil-sterman

april 8 & 9, 2025 | homewood suites | greenville, sc

The Divergent Channels are responsible for collecting a pathogenic factor and diverting it to the joints using fluid mediumship in order to keep the organs pathology-free. In doing so, they allow a set of diseases to occur, to prevent organ degeneration. For example, to protect the Liver from cirrhosis, they will deposit pathology in a way that causes arthritis instead. This fascinating arena is complex but essential information for all acupuncturists interested in understanding the nature of disease.

It’s not uncommon to hear people say that acupuncture has not effectively helped them with serious chronic illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn’s disease, osteoarthritis, lupus, colitis, Raynaud’s, COPD, etc. The Divergent Channels are exquisitely equipped to treat conditions of precisely this type. In this seminar, Ann will teach and demonstrate with live patients how to understand the Divergent Channels and how to put them into practice.

Long-time advocate for the return of the use ofthe entire acupuncture system as described in the Classical texts, and long-time student of Jeffrey Yuen, Ann practices the Divergent Channels fluently and profoundly and is dedicated to sharing this knowledge with other practitioners. This is an all-levels class. Whether you have studied the complement channels before or not, you are welcome. Click here to read what people say about Ann’s live classes.

The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) is the closest airport and is about a 30 minute drive to downtown Greenville. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and the Charlotte-Douglass International Airport (CLT) are both roughly a two hour drive to Greenville, SC.

AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION:

In addition to ride shares or rental cars, Eastside Transportation can provide transport between the airport and hotel. If you’d like to coordinate transportation (or room sharing) with other people attending the class, the Classical Medicine Community is a good way to do that.
