Dutch Traditional Chinese Medicine Congress 2023

"The Cycle of Life"
nourishing health throughout the seasons

Saturday 4th & Sunday 5th of November 2023

The Dutch TCM Congress (DTCMC) aims to achieve a full-on medical integration, by supporting TCM practitioners to deepen their understanding of classical literature and by broadening their
knowledge in traditional and modern medicine. A special platform has been created, which
shares the knowledge and experience of globally well-known TCM and integrative medicine
specialists, scholars, lecturers and practitioners. DTCMC is not just a lengthy tale, but rather
like our country, it is exceptionally tolerant, colorful and elegant.

"I look forward to meeting you all someday."

The biggest insights I got from the DTCMC Congress, was that Zhong has grown tremendously, evident by the worldwide network with many international speakers and that Zhong has developed into a very professional organization, where you can also get to know new speakers, but also deepen your knowledge in different fields, also the scientific. I'm already looking forward to next year, which new speaker and new topics await us.

The DTCMC is always a unique opportunity to learn from others, to have a look in the kitchen of others and have a taste. Many different workshops following one another in short a time seems tailor-made for me.

I certainly try to apply the insights obtained. I consider these insights as eye-openers, points of attention, which make me aware of what other additional possibilities there are in my field of TCM. I can only say that I like the idea that we as TCM therapists can meet occasionally through DTCMC and be allowed to go and have a look in the other kitchen, in order to exchange more.
