Collective healing is in our hands! Learn this powerful tool—inherited from a social justice movement—to bring immense well-being to yourself and your communities. Join us for our BIPOC migrant, healing-centered 5NP training in Portland, OR.
What is the 5NP?
It is a protocol—also known as NADA Acudetox—that stimulates five specific points on the ear. It is a treatment that has been used for decades to alleviate symptoms related to stress, trauma, and addiction, among others. Anyone can learn it to practice on themselves and within a community.
This training will be held in collaboration with Healing Together, POCA, and the Q Center.
