Thank you, Jeffrey!

Today, together with Master Jeffrey Yuen, we are proud to mark the end of a truly remarkable journey.

When, back in 1998, we asked Master Yuen to come to Italy to begin a collaboration with the Xin Shu School, we could never have imagined what awaited us. The Master’s expertise, enthusiasm, and passion in spreading the principles of Classical Chinese Medicine inspired our students and encouraged us to dream bigger: to create “The Seminars of Master Jeffrey Yuen”— an international series of lectures and practical sessions on acupuncture, tuina, and qigong, all rooted in the wisdom of the classical texts.

That’s how a long and meaningful path began—one that aimed to explore this vast subject in all its depth, to study the entire meridian system, and to uncover its links to clinical practice and to the lives of both patients and practitioners. Over the past 27 years, hundreds of acupuncturists and tuina and qigong practitioners have had the pleasure and privilege of learning from these unique, time-honored teachings, refined through thousands of years of Chinese medical tradition.

Master Yuen’s arrival in Italy—exclusively for Xin Shu—sparked a growing interest in this extraordinary field of knowledge and led him to build lasting relationships with other major training centers across Europe.

Despite the many challenges along the way—not least the pandemic—we successfully completed the cycle we had envisioned with Master Yuen. The results of this long journey are now available on Xin Shu Academy, the only global platform dedicated to collecting and sharing the teachings of Master Jeffrey Yuen. A few past seminars are still being prepared and will soon be added to complete the full archive.

We are deeply grateful to Jeffrey Yuen for everything he has taught us through the years—for guiding us through the complexity of Chinese medicine, unveiling the secrets of the classical texts, and helping us understand the delicate role of the therapist as a facilitator of change and healing. We’ll truly miss our annual Spring meetings, which will remain in our hearts as moments of inspiration and renewal for our daily clinical practice.

We’ll continue to share and promote the Master’s teachings, which have always been—and will continue to be—the core purpose of our educational work.

When a chapter closes, there’s always a touch of sadness, but also a deep sense of pride for what has been achieved and for having contributed, in our own way, to improving our profession.

Thank you, Jeffrey — and thanks to all of you who keep following us with such genuine interest and enthusiasm.
