The Tradition of Women’s Healing in Community

I used to dismiss healing in community as a bit woo, until I went to my first community acupuncture in San Francisco. Between the beautiful and serene setting, and incredible people gathered together with the same mission, I had never quite experienced such a profound transformation.

I remember walking down the Embarcadero with my liver points humming and my third eye on a next-level sensory awakening. There was something to this whole experience.

For centuries, women have gathered in circles to heal, support one another, and share wisdom. In many indigenous and ancient cultures, women’s health was considered a collective responsibility.

These gatherings provided a space to share remedies, advice, and emotional support, which was essential for their well-being.
