BaZi Calendrical Constitution Calculation
with Dr Howard Chen, MD

Eight characters is an ancient Chinese Calendar based technique of determining an individual’s Constitution, with significant implications for Chinese Medicine diagnosis and treatment.

The initial process of setting up the chart, understanding the personality, and determining the base constitution is easily accessible to the public with an interest in Chinese Medicine and understanding of Yin Yang and 5 Phase theory, but will be especially relevant to Chinese Medicine practitioners seeking to enhance their clinical acumen.

Please join Howard Chen, MD, adjunct faculty at Middle Way Acupuncture Institute and apprentice of Dr. Richard Tan, OMD for an enlightening 4 day hybrid workshop on the basics of BaZi Constitutional Diagnosis:

Level 1: March 13th-16th, 2025

Participants can then opt to join Howard for a focused deep dive into the interpretation of the constitution on the following dates:

Level 2: April 10th – 13th, 2025

Level 3: May 8th – 11th, 2025

Level 4: June 5th – 8th, 2025
