Welcome to the Apricot Grove.
You are here!
We train our students to rebuild their clinical practice by retelling the story of Chinese medicine from the ground up, based on an in-depth study of its original sources and the principles of Nature’s Design.
Based on over two decades of research, teaching, and clinical practice, Dr. Edward Neal has created an in-depth 2-year graduate level clinical mentorship designed to provide practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary to rebuild their clinical practice from the ground up, using the original principles and techniques of the Huangdi Neijing, the original medical text of Chinese medicine.

“The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us. Thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.”

Apricot Grove Philosophy
We are direct expressions of nature. All that we have and experience in our lives has been gifted to us by nature, and nature is our greatest teacher. In turn, we study and follow the patterns of nature’s design, learning from both ancient and modern knowledge, respecting diverse sources of wisdom and traditions.
Our Mission
We are helping to retell our human stories based on the principles of nature’s design and the traditions of ancient and modern wisdom. We train highly skilled and knowledgeable medical professionals by reexamining the original writings of Chinese medicine and traditional knowledge with the aim of transforming medical practice and global healthcare.
