Tea & Ear Acupuncture: An Afternoon of Rest and Renewal with Meselech Haile Michael

Join us for an afternoon of tea, stillness, and AcuDetox, a simple ear acupuncture session designed to support your body’s natural capacity for regulation and restoration. The group AcuDetox session will be offered by Adeline Yoga student and experienced Acupuncture practitioner Meselech Haile Michael.

What is AcuDextox?  It is a protocol developed by the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) that uses five small needles placed in specific points on each ear to help calm the nervous system, ease stress, and cultivate emotional balance. Originally developed to support people in addiction recovery, this widely used practice is now offered in a variety of settings—including hospitals, community clinics, mental health programs, and wellness spaces—as a gentle way to encourage resilience and well-being.

After sharing a delicious Ethiopian herbal tea together, you’ll settle into a quiet, restful environment while receiving the NADA protocol. There is no need to talk or process. Simply sit, rest, breathe, and allow yourself to receive.

The five points used in the protocol support specific aspects of healing and renewal:

• Sympathetic Point — This point celebrates the spirit of serenity. It encourages relaxation and helps settle the stress response, inviting a sense of ease.

• Shen Men — Often called the “Spirit Gate,” this point supports emotional balance.  It helps calm the mind and ease anxiety. This point celebrates love, compassion, partnership, and personal control.

• Kidney Point — Associated with resilience and restoration, helping to ease fear, fatigue, and depletion while supporting deep reserves of strength.

• Liver Point — Supports the body’s natural detoxification processes and can help soften irritability and frustration, encouraging growth and renewal.

• Lung Point — Linked to breath, grief, and letting go, this point supports release, connection, and trust in life’s unfolding.

Whether you are navigating a challenging season, seeking support for stress, or simply longing for a moment of profound rest, this afternoon together offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and experience the healing power of stillness in community.

AcuDetox sessions are simple and quiet. There’s no talking required – just a peaceful space to rest and reset. It’s a non-invasive, medication-free way to feel more grounded.

This is a community offering for the benefit of all.
