Online Introduction:
Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture™
June 14, 2026

This event will be led by Judy Worsley, Master of the lineage, offering a rare opportunity to learn directly from the heart of this tradition.

Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture™, rooted in ancient wisdom and brought to the West by Professor JR Worsley, is a profound system of medicine that seeks not merely to treat symptoms but instead to identify and address the root cause of imbalance.

The Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—describe the natural order of life. When they are in harmony within us, we experience true health and a deep sense of well-being in body, mind, and spirit.

Members of the Worsley Institute Training (WIT)℠ team will introduce the core principles of this classical oral tradition and its “Way of Life.”

Only the Worsley Institute™ is authorized by Professor JR Worsley to represent his legacy and to steward the exclusive archive of his teaching and clinical recordings. Carefully selected excerpts from these historic recordings will be shared during the session.

This online introductory session is suitable for practitioners, students, or potential students of acupuncture, and anyone interested in exploring the principles of Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture™

When:
Sunday, 14th June 2026
5:00pm – 7:30pm (BST)
9:00am – 11:30am (PDT)

Leadership in Training (LIT)℠

“The greatest teacher is forever a humble student.”
~ Professor JR Worsley

Register by February 15th for the Early-Bird discount.

Overview:
Leadership and service are deeply intertwined. LIT℠ is for those who aim to be leaders in their personal and professional lives, including clinical practice, classroom teaching, family life, and the wider community.

“Professor JR Worsley modelled that one of the many acts of great leadership includes the importance of a wise and clear succession plan, ensuring that the integrity of lineage content, especially at its heart and soul, endures. Inspired by this example, and as I grow closer to joining JR in the Great Beyond, it has become even more obvious that being in a bonded, committed relationship with others who share this mission brings a light more radiant than the mere sum of the individual parts.

The Worsley Institute™ and I have been challenged and encouraged, criticised and praised, cancelled and claimed. Our universal response has been to ‘Shine the light’, which guides, reminds, and binds us. We enjoy being together and encourage each other to shine at our best. The birth of LIT℠ resulted. This very special family genuinely welcomes others to join us in our heartfelt mission to help each other evolve and live at the highest possible level.

Thank you, Worsley Institute™, for all you do so selflessly to share this light with others.”
~ JB Worsley

LIT℠ participants have an opportunity to:

-Present teaching material and receive mentoring from the WI™ Leadership Team.
-Address concerns that arise during teaching and clinical situations.
-Cultivate leadership qualities.
-Review and clarify Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture™ content.
-Be eligible to join the WIT℠ Teaching Team.
-Join a special community bonded through love, kindness, service, purpose and integrity.

Some comments from LIT℠ 2025 participants:

“Appreciating the value of preparation, curiosity, and listening in various different scenarios.”

“The opportunities to join the teaching team, either in person or online, was invaluable. Being able to be behind the scenes gave me great practice, opportunity to have mistakes corrected, and to contribute.”

“Not labeling people helps my heart be more humble and open. Checking pulses against what Judy gets is helpful. Always watching diagnoses and treatment planning.”

“I had no idea what to expect from LIT℠, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and found it invaluable in so many ways.”

“Talking through professional situations that may arise and sharing strategies to work through them in alignment with our WCF-EA™ values and principles, qualities of leadership. I always appreciate and value simply hearing Judy speak about our medicine, being an instrument of nature, and other fundamentals which are...fundamental... but incredibly deep, and I feel that her discussions through these topics strengthen and deepen my understanding of our medicine as a way of life, both professionally and personally.”

Great Cold (大寒) is the last of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms. It occurs when the sun reaches 300° of celestial longitude, usually on January 20 or 21.

It is one of the coldest periods of the year and also a time when rainfall is at its lowest. As the saying goes, “Minor Cold and Great Cold— even without wind, the cold is biting.”

Great Cold (大寒)is a season when vitality lies hidden and all living things remain dormant; at this time, the yang energy of nature is in the process of transitioning from winter storage to the rebirth of spring.

Here is a compilation of winter photos from around the world, submitted by WIT students and WI faculty.
