About Ongiara College of Acupuncture and Moxibustion
www.ongiaracollege.ca
Mission Statement
Classical Acupuncture teaches that all life is organized according to a natural order, which illuminates the radiance of being. Ongiara College of Acupuncture and Moxibustion is committed to developing long-term master practitioners who work in harmony with HeavenEarth and can apply the Dao - which is also the art of medicine - to their own lives, to their patients and to their wider communities.
Our Invitation
We invite you to join us in a magical journey from the mysteries of Daoism, rooted in a deep philosophical understanding of Nature and human beings as manifestations of the Divine, to the practice of acupuncture and moxibustion in the 21st Century where the magic seems to be more hidden but is just as alive for those who would see, hear, feel and inquire from the depths of their being.
At Ongiara College
Students will learn a system of acupuncture and moxibustion which:
- understands the regulatory movement of the Dao, recognizing that health and disease both follow this movement
- sees the role of the practitioner to be that of aiding the person to engage fully in life
- works with the person's individual destiny
- honors the uniqueness of each human being and reflects this in the creation of specifically tailored treatments
- uses the cycles of Nature to return disordered states to balance and harmony
- roots its clinical practice in theoretical knowledge as discussed in the classical texts
- treats predominantly through the CF and Withins, the Five Elements and Twelve Officials, the Sheng and Ke cycles (homeostatic agents) and the whole classical width of the JingLuo network, within the context of the time of day and the stage of the season
- emphasizes the practitioner's bodymindspirit development of the Four Examination Skills (to see, to hear/smell, to palpate and to inquire) including sophisticated pulse taking, physical palpation and diagnosis of color, sound, odor and emotion
- requires the inner cultivation of the practitioner as an instrument of Virtue
Educational Objectives
Ongiara College of Acupuncture and Moxibustion develops practitioners who go beyond knowledge of the philosophies and theories of acupuncture, progressively coming to an internal knowing-how (wisdom) of the art of medicine.
Stages of Learning
The Professional Diploma of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Program is divided into four academic years over 37 calendar months. Students attend 6 consecutive days per month for the first 24 months, then 2-3 days a week for 50 weeks. The course is a progressive journey of development: studying, gathering practical skills, widening one's inner senses, questioning, exploring, understanding, reflecting, owning all material and translating the above into professional practice and knowing-how. All students in a class study together through the whole program, following a continuous flow of topics which build on and deepen previous experience.
There is no residency requirement for the first two calendar years. In the final calendar year, students must live within commuting distance of the college in the Ontario or New York regions. Applicants to the Professional Diploma of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Program must have a minimum of two academic years (60 semester credits/90 quarter credits) education at baccalaureate level.
Methods of Teaching
Ongiara College recognizes students as mature, adult learners and uses predominantly student-centered process models of teaching and learning: creative thought, involvement, investigation, experience, deliberation, reflection.
Academic Freedom and Integrity
Ongiara is committed to creating a college environment where academic freedom, honesty and integrity thrive and where staff, faculty and students feel comfortable displaying intellectual independence. Ongiara College recognizes and protects the rights of staff, faculty and students to pursue knowledge and to communicate acquired knowledge freely.
Internal Cultivation
We believe that the inner cultivation of the student is an essential component of the master practitioner.
Ongiara College Clinic
The clinic serves the populations of Fort Erie, Buffalo and Niagara. In their third and fourth academic years, students attend the clinic two days per week for 50 weeks to personally perform/participate in 400 treatments under faculty supervision and guidance. The clinic charges a nominal fee to patients, to provide easily affordable health care of the highest standard to the whole community.
Locations
85-87 Jarvis Street, the main college campus, is close to the Peace Bridge which connects Buffalo, New York with Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. These buildings house classrooms, 10 treatment rooms, lending and reference library, student facilities, faculty and admin facilities and a cafe.
1198 Ridge Road N consists of 24 acres of both open and wooded land, a main house, salt chlorinated swimming pool, cottage and gardens. The space is integral to the curriculum of the college as it will be the site of students' experiential learning about the Five Elements. Students will participate in nurturing the land and relate to the extensive indigenous wild and natural life.
