Field Meridian's Healing Clinic

Objective:

At the height of summer, rest is not a luxury—it is a necessary practice. As the days grow longer and the heat settles into our bodies, we are reminded to slow down, refill our cups, and care for ourselves and one another. It is also a season that asks us to balance activity with restoration, cultivating practices that cool the body, calm the heart, and nourish the spirit.

Join us at the new FMFM for an afternoon of free community auricular acupuncture, guided breathwork, shiatsu bodywork, and San Fu Tie moxibustion patches for preventative immune therapy . All practices are designed to support the body through the hottest months of the year and preparation into the transitioning colder seasons. Whether you are carrying physical tension, emotional fatigue, stress, grief, or seeking a moment of respite, we invite you to receive care, learn practical healing tools, and spend time in community.

Inspired by the Healing Clinics established by the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords in the late 1960s, Field Meridians' Healing Clinic offers a space for community-based care rooted in the belief that healing is both personal and collective. These clinics continue the tradition of sharing knowledge, preventative care, and accessible healing practices outside of conventional institutions.

Healing is not something we seek only in moments of crisis—it is something we practice season by season.

Dr. Sol will be teaching a separate herbal workshop from 3~4PM. If you would like to attend, please RSVP separately here.
