Classical Medicine, Locally and Globally
Based in the Green Mountains of Southern Vermont, we are a small community of learners devoted to the cultivation of healing skill, knowledge, and presence. Offering comprehensive training in Chinese herbal medicine, East Asian bodywork, meditation, Qi cultivation, Birth and Death Doula work.
A Unique Model
The model for education at Green Mountain Institute is innovative, offering an alternative path for studying and practicing Asian healing arts. The school offers programming that can be engaged with on a low residency basis, with residential retreats running each year at our headquarters in Vermont, as well as options for fully online study. During residential retreats, students live on campus, sharing meals and training in an intensive retreat-style manner, taking part in a sincere community built on Buddhist and Daoist principles of interconnectedness, loving-kindness, and the pursuit of harmony. Our headquarters, located amongst hundreds of acres of peaceful forest, is the ideal place for students to go deep in their learning and self-cultivation.
A Unique Approach
The vision for our school is a unique one, focused on classical forms of healing that affirm the spiritual traditions at the root of Chinese medicine. In addition to offering rigorous training in classical methods of treatment, all of our programs includes instruction in methods of personal cultivation coming from Buddhist and Daoist lineages, including meditative heart-mind training and traditional qi cultivation practices.
A school of personal transformation
At Green Mountain Institute, students not only obtain robust theoretical and technical skills, but also engage in a deep process of personal cultivation, such that they are encouraged to truly become the medicine they wish to share with the world.
