Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture: Classical Five-Element Acupuncture

"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises."
Leo F. Buscaglia

Support ITEA’s Work — Make a Difference
Change the World — One Person at a Time!

The Institute of Taoist Education and Acupuncture’s is committed to the support of individuals in fulfilling their unique way of being, one which is aligned with nature and spirit, and one in which life can be best lived. As we enter our 13th year of success, we wish to thank all our supporters, both financial and philosophical. This support has enabled ITEA to improve lives and produce graduates who improve, exponentially, the lives of others. Together we are making a difference!

ITEA is growing into a presence in the community as an outstanding educational center of higher learning. We are offering more services to the local community and to the community of acupuncture. Our Veterans Program is now under the umbrella of Acupuncturists Without Borders, and vets meet as a group once each week for acupuncture. We are continuing to create courses for community education in living according to natural law, in health and prevention, and in becoming the best we can be as individuals.

We are forming partnerships with like-minded organizations aligned with nature and the environment, in order to make greater impact worldwide.

Your support, whether as an individual, organization or foundation allows ITEA to provide a higher level of service to our community. Your generosity will support the ongoing healing presence of Classical Five-Element Acupuncture in Colorado and in the world for many years to come.
