History and Significance of MAP: Professor JR Worsley’s (JR) teachings are rooted in Natural Order and are a continuum of an oral tradition that is thousands of years old. These teachings were passed on to him by his revered Masters who, in turn, appointed him as “Master”.  JR’s intention was to transmit this tradition, in the same manner as he was inculcated into it, to future generations.  JR was joined in this mission by Judy Worsley. Together, they worked incessantly toward preserving the purity of the teachings and the lineage of Worsley Classical Five-Element Acupuncture (WCF-EA). It remains as profound and relevant a medicine and “Way of Life”^TM (JR) today as it has been for millennia because of their tireless efforts. 

With the goal of continuity of this unadulterated lineage being carried forward, in 1997, JR and Judy established the Worsley Institute (WI), the only organization JR gave authority to represent him. Since JR’s death in 2003, Judy has continued to uphold JR’s legacy as the one he chose to succeed him as “Master” of the lineage.

MAP is by invitation. Those invited to participate are experienced practitioners dedicated to ongoing study, growth, and development. If you have not received an invitation, please communicate your interest to president@worsleyinstitute.com. 

We are delighted that this gathering will take place in a retreat setting of outstanding natural beauty with wonderful facilities. Judy Worsley and members of the WI team, David Berkshire, Eric Hartmann, and Annette Sessions, have enjoyed and benefited from working together in MAP for decades and look forward to your joining us there for this very important work.

“JR would be so pleased that the Worsley Institute represents this lineage with absolute authenticity. The Taoist values that he admired, respected, and taught are represented in WI’s work. MAP, hosted by WI, is one example of many that manifests JR’s explicit wishes that he made to WI and me. I am proud to be co-leading with this team.” (JB Worsley)
