No fuss, no judgement, no complicated or differential diagnosis

How It Works

NADA involves the gentle placement of up to 5 tiny needles in each ear to promote your inner calm and grounded self.  Practitioners set up a quiet atmosphere for everyone to rest while sitting silently next to others in the community.
The sessions last 20-45 minutes and are very relaxing.

Join The People's Organization of community acupuncture

(POCA) is a member-run non-profit organization whose mission is to work cooperatively to increase accessibility to and availability of affordable group acupuncture treatments. We envision a world in which every community has access to local, affordable acupuncture to reduce collective and individual suffering and to nurture resilience.

We acknowledge the debt we owe, as community acupuncturists, to the Young Lords and the Black Panthers, two groups challenging racism and oppression in the 1970’s who fought to bring affordable group acupuncture into their communities to address the scourge of addiction.​

Huey Newton and the Black Panther Party played a direct historical role in introducing community acupuncture models and Chinese medicine practices to the U.S. after visiting China in 1971. While Newton led the historic delegation, party members and affiliated medical figures like Dr. Tolbert Small actually observed and studied these techniques firsthand to bring back for community health clinics.
