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.
Moving from winter to spring, from water to wood, we also move from the kidneys to the liver as plants start to shoot and sprout, new life appears and stagnation is resolved. We need to follow this freer time as indicated in Neijing Suwen chapter 2, Tune your Spirit to the Qi of the Four Seasons. Moving and exercising more, we are active, generous and outgoing.
We are also aware of the lungs, the meridian associated with the first month. Particularly as we are still in the climate of wind that affects the lungs exteriorly and the liver interiorly. We must guard against wind with such points as Bl 12 feng men Wind Gate for the lungs and GB 20 feng chi Wind Pool for the liver.
The traditional images here are of ice thawing, the hexagram 42 yi Increasing and the qi gong exercise activating lumbar 2, where the warming and strengthening ming men the Gate of Destiny lies.
The universal importance of this time we can also see in the Celtic calendar celebrating Imbolc at the beginning of February and in the Christian Candlemas on February 2nd. Many cultures have marked this exit from the dark quarter of the year.

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.
