Thursdays 5-7pm | By appointment

AcuRitual Forgiveness Clinic - Dr. Katherine Echo Kim, L.Ac. ADS in Westport, Fairfield, CT

What is an AcuRitual?
Dr. Kim combined acupuncture + ritual = AcuRitual. The theme of this year's AcuRitual is forgiveness.

What to expect
Join us in our safe, warm, non-judgmental space to quietly sit and relax with ear acupuncture and ear seeds while exploring forgiveness at your own pace. Includes guided meditation, mindfulness-based relaxation, breathwork, walking, and forgiveness inspiration to take home.

Forgiveness is optional
Forgiveness and reconciliation are not required outcomes of attending.

Forgiveness may be healing
Research reports that forgiveness may be linked to less depression, anxiety, and stress, better sleep, and lower blood pressure. Read the research: NIH, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Harvard Health, Harvard Chan, Stanford, Cornell, Mayo Clinic, and American Psychological Association.

Who the Forgiveness Clinic is for
Anyone curious about forgiveness or interested in forgiving: yourself, family, partners and friends, others living or deceased, major life experiences, world events, the past or present, or whatever remains unspoken or unresolved.
