Welcome

Welcome to East West College, provider of innovative continuing professional development courses (CPD).

Based in Farnham (Surrey, UK) we specialise in short courses for acupuncturists and practitioners of shiatsu and Chinese medicine. We teach online and in-person. Practical courses take place in Farnham, Reading or Edinburgh; if there is demand we can travel to near you.

An essential aspect of the theory and practice we teach is that of classical channel theory, presenting these key concepts in both a theoretical and practical manner:

- We explore Applied Channel Theory as taught by Dr Wang Ju-Yi with introductory as well as advanced courses.

- Another focus of study is effective pulse diagnosis as described in the Mai Jing taught by co-Principal Jamie Hamilton, whose book on this subject Essential Pulse Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine: Mai Jing ABC Method will be published in April 2022.

This year we are delighted to welcome guest tutors to teach their specialisms for us:

Advanced workshops on Applied Channel Theory with Jason Robertson and Jonathan Chang

On Yang Sheng and Qigong we are pleased to invite Peter Deadman, author of Live Well Live Long, to teach a residential weekend in September 2022 following our excellent retreat of the same name in July 2021.

"This Applied Channel Theory course with Michael Phoenix has been the most relaxed, enjoyable and informative course I have ever been on. The combination of theory and practical brought things alive.

Jamie is an excellent, enthusiastic and inspiring tutor and the charming setting of the Tatami Room is the perfect tranquil location for learning and practising Shiatsu.
