What is Acupuncture…?
Sterile, metallic needles as thin as hair are inserted into the skin to stimulate points and channels in the body. This helps balance the body and enhance its natural healing abilities.
Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment.
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 33

This is the start of a vision that encompasses how ‘being’ the change’ materializes. Putting it into action. A network where knowledge and wisdom are exchanged to aid in inner growth. A place where we can transfer ideas, grievances, and joys, to find meaning in the lessons life brings. And most importantly, to find the potential and peace within ourselves. This is Djedi Society. ☯️
