What is Community Acupuncture?Community Acupuncture is a model of care designed to make acupuncture accessible, affordable, and deeply rooted in collective healing. Unlike private sessions, treatments occur in a tranquil, shared space where participants rest comfortably on yoga mats with bolsters and blankets or in chairs, fostering a sense of community and shared intention. This model removes financial and clinical barriers, allowing healing to unfold both individually and as a group.
About This Offering
This is a gentle, focused session utilizing the NADA protocol—a simple, powerful ear acupuncture (or acupressure) system developed for community trauma, stress, and addiction recovery. For those preferring not to receive needles, ear seeds are available. Occasionally, supplemental foot points may be included to ground and support the nervous system.
Who It’s For:
Everyone is welcome—especially those seeking resilience, emotional balance, stress relief, or a space to integrate life’s transitions. The setting is ideal for people who find comfort in shared quietude, those new to acupuncture, or anyone seeking regular, affordable support. Trauma-informed principles guide the environment, ensuring a safe, consensual, and respectful experience.
Setting & Flow
The Aligned Collective’s space is arranged for comfort and autonomy. You may choose:
A supportive nest on the floor with yoga mats, bolsters, and blankets
A chair if sitting or seated reclining is preferred
After a brief check-in, you’ll receive your chosen protocol (NADA needles or ear seeds), then settle into restful meditation for 30–45 minutes. Music, and a held container of care support the collective calm.
Exchange: $22 to keep this care accessible to our community. (Tips are welcome via the booking site if you feel called to support the sustainability of this offering.)
