Louisville, Colorado

Recently, Money Magazine rated Louisville #5 on its list of great places to live in the U.S. In addition, Newsweek, in February of 2009, rated Louisville one of the Best Affordable Suburbs of 2009. Louisville is a small city, located within Boulder County, on the semi-arid plains at the base of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Its altitude is over 5,280 feet above sea level, and the weather averages 300 days of sunshine each year. The area has fresh, bracing air and four mild, but distinct, seasons. Louisville is a former mining community with a highly educated population.

Historic “Old Town” Louisville was built around the turn of the 20th century and retains the quaint feel of that era. “Old Town” offers a library, art galleries, bookstores, banks, coffee shops, good restaurants and a historical museum. Louisville provides easy access to its 1,700 acres of Open Space, including dozens of parks, and to other area Open Space and mountains. Parks and open fields near the school make this an exceptional location for the nature-based study of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture.

The City of Boulder, acclaimed as one of the healthiest places to live in the U.S., is located just 20 minutes west of Louisville. Natural and organic food is available from a variety of markets. Boulder is a haven for the arts, alternative health, education, and sports. Many other alternative educational institutions are located in the Boulder area, such as the Southwest Acupuncture College, the Guild for Structural Integration, the Rolf Institute, the Hakomi Institute, Shambala International, and the Naropa Institute of Buddhist Studies. Boulder’s Chautauqua Park is one of three remaining Chautauqua's in the U.S., and offers year-round programs in education, music, and theater.
