Evan has a way of making herbs come alive. When I learned from Evan I never felt like it was just about memorizing functions and characteristics. It was about getting to know these plants as friends and family in a way that was relational, embodied, and heart-centered. I’ve found that what I have learned from Evan, I’ve incorporated into my life in a deeper and also more practical way than other herbal classes I’ve done. His teachings are suffused with a clarity and confidence that is contagious.

Evan was my teacher during the beginning of my Chinese herbal journey. I recall being intimidated and overwhelmed with the depth and complexity of study that was before me. It was Evan’s deep wisdom of Chinese medicine and his clarity of teaching the wisdom that motivated and empowered me. His lectures always demonstrated a great respect for the power of herbal medicine while also presenting the knowledge in a lighthearted, personal and approachable manner. There was such direction and purpose to how he explored the herbs in class. I immensely enjoyed learning with Evan and really valued his ability to take complex topics and break them down in bite sized pieces - often explaining things in many different ways until he had the sense his audience understood. Evan’s teachings are the foundation of my Chinese medicine practice and I could not imagine a better guide and mentor on my journey. My studies with Evan affirmed the reason I fell in love with Chinese medicine and gave me so much confidence as a practitioner.

It’s said great leaders and teachers point not to themselves but to the greater source that inspires them, and with humility. I say this is true of Evan’s teaching in Chinese Medicine. I’ve studied herbs, pulse diagnosis and many other aspects of Chinese Medicine with Evan since 2011 through the various programs he has offered at MUIH and Yao Shan Center in Washington, DC. His teaching style truly integrates mind, body, spirit as One and in relationship with our natural world as our greater teacher and source. His keen observational skills also makes him aware of each student in the class as an essential participant within our larger order. No one gets left behind and we live it 3D and multi-dimensionally with Evan! With kindness and good humor he lays the foundations, conveys this essential knowledge, teaching sensory awarenesses and this great tradition for human care, as he has come to know it. His expertise and teaching style gives opportunity for our confidence to grow for the sake of our unique CM practices and all the connected relationships we have beyond the classroom, within the larger realm(s), so we may pass it forward too. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to listen and learn with Evan through the years.

Evan Rabinowitz is one of those rare teachers who can bring incredibly dense subject matter to life. His teaching style is extremely organized and richly textured. I appreciated how skillfully he designed a curriculum rooted in the classics, yet applicable to the modern clinic. While I learned practical applications of herbs and formulas, Evan also taught me to cultivate my ability to observe resonance and nuances in prescribing. He taught us to think in terms of the energetics of herbs and formulas rather than just the mechanics of them. I am so grateful for my herbal studies with Evan, it has truly deepened my understanding and love of Chinese Medicine as a whole.
