Engage
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, sacred manifestations of the universe recreating itself upon to its original design. 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 the patterns of nature’s design, learning from both ancient and modern knowledge while respecting diverse sources of wisdom and tradition.
Our Mission
We are retelling our human story based on the principles of nature’s design, ancient wisdom, and modern science. Our mission is to train highly skilled healthcare professionals by studying the original sources of Chinese medicine and the patterns of nature. Through this approach, we aim to transform medical practice and global healthcare.
