As part of our weekly healing series with Asian Health Services, Qiki Collective welcomed Cantonese-speaking elders from Oakland Chinatown to Canticle Farm for a day of care. Elders received acupuncture and bodywork, drank traditional herbal teas, and shared a healing lunch together.

One elder shared that acupuncture let them feel "the deep cultural roots of traditional medicine and its remarkable power for self-healing." Another was struck by how tea itself can be a form of healing care.

Elders were especially moved to see a younger generation of Asian American healers honoring and practicing our ancestral medicine, and were encouraged that this knowledge is being carried forward.
