Join us for a relaxing group acupuncture session from licensed acupuncturist Ren Pilinger enhanced by a live ambient sound bath from certified sound healer Gillian N. Miller of Mindful Mavens.
Sound has the capacity to shift energy and restore the mind, body, and spirit to a balanced state. Many ancient cultures have used sound as invocations, in ceremony and rituals to offer healing. -Gillian N. Miller, certified sound healer
Doors open at 5:45 PM; sound bath begins at 6:00 PM.
Boston Acupuncture Project joins our community to celebrate freedom and joy at this festive event! We’ll be offering free sample acupuncture treatments and highlighting some of the Black history of acupuncture in the Americas.
Dr. Angela Jamal of Anami Wellness joins us to provide FREE auriculotherapy (ear seed) treatments! Dr. Jamal says:
I have been an educator and consultant of Holistic Health for over 25 years. As a doctor of acupuncture (Chinese medicine), I chose to specialize in AURICULOTHERAPY or what is also known as Ear acupressure using EARSEEDS in place of acupuncture needles. My goal is to provide holistic health education and treatments that may help not only relieve your pain and discomfort, but prevent dis-ease using and applying the fundamental healing principles of your body.
Main event begins at 10:00 AM! Sample acupuncture treatments available 11:00 AM-2:30 PM. Click the image below to register and get more information! Or visit https://westfhcommunity.org/juneteenth/

Acupuncture has been used by humans for thousands of years, with traditions throughout East Asia presenting different schools of thought on how the body works. Learn about how ancient Daoist observations of nature are still relevant to us today, including acu-pressure points you can use on yourself at home.

In the past few months, over 150 community members received free holistic healing thanks to the Small Steps Healing Project, part of We Got Us. Boston Acupuncture Project had the opportunity to contribute to this work.
Community Empowerment
What is We Got Us? From their website: “The We Got Us Empowerment Project is a Boston-based collective of Black community members, health professional students, and allies dedicated to empowering our communities with education about medical racism, COVID-19, and the vaccine. We also seek to promote public health and to influence policy in order to help keep our communities safe and healthy.”
The Small Steps Healing Project, a community-based collaborative, aims to “increase access to acupuncture and holistic healing for the historically marginalized populations in Boston and beyond.” Harvard medical student Eana Meng named the project after Dr. Tolbert Small, physician to the Black Panthers and one of the first American doctors to practice acupuncture.
Eana and other Small Steps Healing Project volunteers organized eight pop up clinics around Boston, providing acupuncture, reiki, sound healing, and more – all free for the community.
Learning and Celebrating
This past Saturday, October 22, 2022, Eana arranged for Dr. Small to fly out and speak in Dorchester. We learned more about Dr. Small’s trail-blazing life and work as a Black physician and activist. It was wonderful to be there and an honor to meet Dr. Small.
