Buy Nothing Day

The day after Thanksgiving, known to big box retailers and the fat cats who profit from them as Black Friday, has been re-branded as Buy Nothing Day. It is an international, informal annual event dedicated to raising awareness of overconsumption. Participate by not participating and nap with us!

Close your wallets, leave your pocketbooks at home, and come unwind in one of our recliners for a free acupuncture treatment. No strings attached!

Buy Nothing Day popularizes a commitment to refrain from purchasing for one day – a full 24 hours – on the last Friday in November, the business shopping day of the year in North America.

This is a hands across the water event!

Our friends at St Pete Community Acupuncture are also hosting Buy Nothing Day 2016 so if you’re on the other side of the Bay, do drop in!

I live in the Heights. In the early morning of February 18th I woke around 3AM certain I smelled smoke. I thought someone was smoking in my back yard. Maybe my insomniac neighbor was up walking the alley and smoking? I couldn’t get back to sleep. Then the helicopters began, low and loud. It was the… Continue Reading

POCA

Seminole Heights Community Acupuncture, our staff, and volunteers are members of the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture. POCA is a co-operative run and fueled by co-op members who believe that acupuncture should be available to people: learn more about that here.

We see acupuncture changing lives every day. It’s simple, safe and effective, as well as the most widely used medicine in the world! Last year POCA clinics, about 150 of them in all, gave more than 1 million treatments.

We support the Community Acupuncture movement with our POCA membership and our volunteer hours.

We know that acupuncture can change the world, and would love for you to join us in The Calmest Revolution Ever Staged!
