Dr. Yu Guo-Jun Doctor, Teacher and Author of the Well-Known Text, a Walk Along the River, and the Forthcoming Second Volume

White Pine Institute Proudly Presents Dr. Yu Guo-Jun Doctor, Teacher and Author of the well-known text, A Walk Along the River, and the forthcoming second volume.

Three Full Days: March 15-17, 2019

White Pine Institute is proudly announcing a three-day seminar with Dr. Yu Guo-Jun. Dr. Yu is the author of A Walk Along the River one of the most informative and accessible Chinese medical texts to ever be published. Dr. Yu is known for his friendly, warm and rich teaching style. His instruction is based on his long apprenticeship with the well-known Sichuan practitioner, Dr. Jiang Yu-Guang and his ﬁfty years of practice with classical formulas. Dr. Yu started his career as an economist, but due to the Cultural Revolution, he was sent to the countryside. This is where he learned Chinese medicine in the traditional manner. In spite of, or perhaps because of Dr. Yu’s lack of formal institutional training, his way of working and teaching are unique and profoundly traditional. Dr. Yu became a practitioner at the Leshan hospital where he works to this day, taking over the teaching of seminars from Dr. Jiang. It was Dr. Yu’s seminars that became the basis of his ﬁrst text, A Walk Along the River. Volume Two is scheduled to come out in the spring of 2019. We are also thrilled to have Michael Fiztgerald as Dr. Yu’s interpreter. Michael has worked closely with Dr. Yu on his text and, in addition to having a good rapport with Dr. Yu, he also has an understanding of his work and intention. He is a lively committed, and clear translator of Dr. Yu’s work. After offering and lecture and teaching a one day course on Ministerial Fire as well as a lecture on Wu Mei Wan at the Shen Nong Society annual symposium, Dr. Yu will travel to Massachusetts to give us three full days of teaching, March 15-17, 2019.
