Experience the Five-Point Auricular Therapy Protocol
Join The Lotus Way and Connection is the Medicine Foundation at True Nature for a drop-in experience designed to support nervous system regulation, deep restoration, and whole-person wellbeing.
During this clinic, participants receive the same five-point auricular acupuncture protocol used around the world to support trauma recovery, addiction recovery, stress reduction, disaster response, and community wellness.

Interested in Bringing This Work to Others?
This clinic offers the same five-point protocol taught in The Lotus Way's ATTAR (Auricular Therapy for Trauma and Addiction Recovery) training.
Colorado is one of the few states where ALL community members can be trained to offer this protocol in appropriate community settings. We train healthcare professionals, peer support workers, yoga teachers, recovery professionals, spa therapists, clergy, and anyone who wants to bring these services to the people they serve.
