Daoist View of TCM
Here is a 2.5 hour gem of a lecture delivered by David Wei. In this lecture, David (aka Da Wei) breaks down the fallacy of what TCM is, and explains what a Daoist world view on health and healing might be. In an enjoyably humorous and possibly offensive manner, David challenges the narrative of what medicine is and what it does for the world.
Da Wei was born of a single, immigrant Chinese mother in the heart of Richmond, CA. He later trained many years in Wudang Shan in the San Feng Sect under his Master, Yuan Xiu Gang. Da Wei has since taught Daoist Medicine at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, and the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland. In 2012, he created Wudang West as a non profit service platform to better share his skills with the world. Currently, David enjoys his days as a full-time teacher, healer, husband, and father.
