Announcing the ISSCA Scholar’s Retreat 2012
The 3rd Annual ISSCA Scholar’s Retreat will be held at the Trout Lake Abbey and Zen Buddhist Center in Trout Lake, Washington from Thursday August 23, 2012 to Sunday August 26, 2012. For those of you who couldn’t make it last year, the Trout Lake Abbey is an amazing place for the gathering of Chinese medicine colleagues for 4 days of collaboration and reflection in a beautiful and natural setting. Pictures from last year’s retreat can be found on our Facebook Page. We are anticipating an even more successful retreat this year and hope that you are all able to make it!
The speakers for the 2012 retreat will be Dr. Edward Neal (USA), David White (Australia), Lorraine Wilcox (USA), Z’ev Rosenberg (USA), Sabine Wilms (USA), Dr. Lazgeen (Iraq), and Brad Hamlin (USA).
Besides solidifying a community effort of teaching and learning, there are three important directives for this year’s ISSCA Scholars Retreat:
- Continued work on a forthcoming scholarly journal
- The conception of a clinical education program
- The foundation for scholarly classes and educational programs.
The ISSCA Scholars Retreat is for all levels of Chinese medicine students and practicing professionals. In our previous 2 retreats we’ve discovered that this fosters a sense of community, a high level of commitment to the medicine, and a reverence to classical material that supports it. Whether you’re just beginning to translate or needle, or you’ve been in practice, translating or researching for many years, the retreat offers a place to assemble and collaborate in a supportive environment.
Registration fees include all lectures and all meals for the duration of the retreat. Lodging is not included in the fee, but there is on site camping for a donation to the monastery, and we have several rooms and cabins reserved in Trout Lake. With Trout Lake Abbey as the venue and Mt. Adams watching over, and with the support and nourishment of the monastic residents at the Mt. Adams Zen Center and Druid Sanctuary, the classical notions of scholarship, transmission, and reflection provide the perfect atmosphere for the material presented and the community that came together.

Thank you for your support of ISSCA, and we hope to see you all there!
