Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you don’t need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a course—if you don’t need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series you’re interested in, but aren’t sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the ‘Course Only’ or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
In Part 1: Foundations, we establish clear communication between practitioner and client by defining common addiction terms and removing any preconceived notions. This provides a solid and necessary structure to build clear goals and achieve long-term success.
Like most of the 10 Parts of the Program, this course contains 5 Lessons with each of the Lessons consisting of:
1) An PDF Workbook
2) Three videos guiding you step-by-step through the Workbook
3) A guided Medicine Journey video
4) A guided Medicine Writes video
5) Q&A audio
6) Checklist: 3 Big Things (a summary for clients)
7) Alchemist's Notebook for Practitioners
This Program is a holistic approach to comprehensively treat addictions. It does not offer "magic points" that somehow change thoughts, beliefs, feelings and behaviors.
It does offer an in-depth emersion into:
1) Addressing every aspect of the whole person: mental, spiritual, emotional and physical
2) Exploring every Phase of the Cycle of Addiction, identifying its weak points and breaking it there once and for all
3) Repairing the damage done to every close relationship
Like every Part of the 10-Part Program, Part 1: Foundations offers a wealth of material that can be immediately implemented in your treatments or assigned as homework to keep clients engaged and quickly coming back.
Lesson 1: Definitions: Alcoholic, Addict, Addicted Using the industry-standard definitions, we explore and clarify a client's perception of these terms to remove any barriers to treatment.
1 hrs - 2 hrsLesson 2: Definitions: Addiction Breaking down the Alchemist Recovery's definition of addiction, we go into detail as to how this directly relates to and draws from TCM.
2 hrs - 3 hrsLesson 3: Definitions: Medicine We identify your client’s needs through their exploration of Medicine. Do they want a mental, spiritual, emotional or physical approach?
3 hrs - 4 hrsLesson 5: Definitions: Success We build upon the Foundation we’ve established in the first four Lessons by clarifying immediate and long-term goals. We then explain how TCM can help them achieve these, as well as all ongoing Success.
4 hrs - 5 hrsLesson 4: Definitions: Medicine-Part 2 We explore the ways to deliver the kind of Medicine our client wants for their addiction. How does TCM provide specific mental, spiritual, emotional and physical answers that our clients can understand?
Alchemist Recovery - Course 1
About Randal Lyons
July 17th, 1994 is a dividing line in my life. It’s my sober date. By that point I had been studying Chinese medical and martial arts for 6 years, had just gotten my 1st license in Oriental Bodywork and was in the 2nd year of a 4 year’s masters program at Emperor’s College of Traditional Oriental Medicine. I was looking forward to a new future and one that was driven by the question, “How does holistic medicine get & keep people sober?” That was a complete U-turn from what had driven my previous incarnation. I was a relocated New Yorker in Hollywood, California, where I lived hand-to-mouth in the world of big hair, loud guitar, rock ’n roll. This provided the perfect setting for me to perform the last half of my 17 years worth of “personal field research” in the arena of addictions. It also gave me invaluable “hands on experience” that I couldn’t imagine getting any other way. The last two decades on this sober side of that dividing line have been spent searching for direct answers to that original question. And because no one has been able to do that for me, I’ve been forced to find it on my own by exploring what I love. My search has given me the privilege of studying with some of the most revered leaders in the fields of Traditional Chinese & East Asian Medicine, shamanism, martial arts, cranio-sacral therapy, movement therapy, psychology, mythology, poetry and writing. From this, I have synthesized a clear, concise model of holistic treatment for addiction that I call Alchemist Recovery. As part of this work I have: - Treated tens of thousands of people from all walks of life and in all stages of addiction? - Served on staff at hospitals, medical centers and addiction treatment centers? - Created a successful private practice? - Written books & articles in national publications? - Taught my material to thousands all across North America and beyond? I greatly look forward to seeing what’s next along this path, as I share it with my wife, partner and brilliant colleague in the Medicine, Dr. Dana Leigh Lyons, and leave notes from the experiences along the way answering, “What exactly does dad do?” for my son Tyler. Whichever side of that dividing line of sobriety I have found myself on, I have lived by and found solace in the choice offered by this declaration: “There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.” — Albert Einstein
Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
