New Earth Pioneer Masterclass

It's the signature 5-phase online journey offered by Shen Holistic Academy. It uniquely blends accredited professional education with deep spiritual development, guiding practitioners to integrate ancient Taoist Philosophy of the Five Elements and Five Spirits into modern clinical practice and daily life.

The core philosophy centers on utilizing the Taoist Five Elements as a blueprint to understand and harmonize energy, not only clinically, but also personally and collectively. The ultimate goal is to foster a sustainable, conscious, and nature-based lifestyle that enhances emotional processing, communication, and connection to the Earth's vital energy.

The Masterclasses were created and are taught by Sahara Sun, L.Ac., MS (Jennifer H. Vires), a highly experienced and NCCAOM-certified Traditional Five Element Acupuncturist and visionary for the Academy.

The New Earth Pioneer Masterclass series offers a total of 70 NCCAOM PDA/CEUs across the five core phases, plus an additional 14 CEUs for the supplemental Ten Steps of Conscious Communication elective course.

Absolutely not. The Masterclass is designed as a flexible, self-paced journey divided into five distinct 14-CEU modules (Phases). You enroll in and pay for one module at a time, allowing you to fit the training into your schedule and budget without being intimidated by the total commitment.

Yes. Shen Holistic Academy is an approved provider of continuing education credits for Acupuncturists through NCCAOM Professional Education Provider #9479, granted under Sahara Sun, L.Ac. (Jennifer H. Vires).

No. There are no formal prerequisites to begin Phase 1: Elemental Foundations. We recommend beginning with the free course, The Initiation: Unconventional Wisdom of the Five Elements, which serves as your Phase Zero and introduction to the experience.

These courses are officially approved for NCCAOM PDA/CEUs. For licensing boards outside of NCCAOM, you will receive all necessary documentation (including the NCCAOM approval details and a detailed outline) so you can easily self-report these hours for credit or recognition. We recommend checking with your specific state board regulations for confirmation.

No. This curriculum is explicitly unconventional. It moves far beyond clinical textbooks to weave the Five Elements into the complex nuances of being human, world events, and spiritual evolution. Even the most experienced practitioner will gain a radical, new lens for energetic translation and clinical application, ensuring that the material is novel and profoundly actionable.

Yes, you have the freedom to sign up for any individual ~14-CEU course (Phase) at any time. However, for the most profound and cumulative effect, it is strongly encouraged to take the courses in order (Phase 1 through Phase 5). Each phase builds upon the previous one, layering philosophical concepts, energetic assessments, and personal healing to provide the clearest, most transformative path for your spiritual evolution and professional mastery. We recommend starting with the free introductory course, The Initiation, first.

Absolutely not. This Academy is built on the principle of radical individual empowerment and self-trust. We recognize that every practitioner is unique, possessing a distinct knowledge base and life experience. The Masterclass is specifically designed to empower you to discover your own truth, perspectives, and authentic alignment. The Five Elements are used as a neutral, conceptual framework to help you understand the nuances of being human and forge your unique path toward a more sustainable future. We encourage critical inquiry and self-trust above all else.

The core philosophy is founded on Taoist wisdom and the Five Elements as an energetic blueprint to understand and align with the cycles of life. This is not a belief system, a religion, or a dogma you must adopt. Sahara Sun, L.Ac., is merely sharing her unique and provocative perspectives, knowledge, and life experience to serve as a guide and mirror for your own growth.

This Masterclass is a space for activating self-discovery, not for absorbing dogma. It provides an unconventional, spiritual, and holistic lens designed to challenge assumptions and transcend limitations. The benefit for veterans is not in the acquisition of new formulas, but in re-contextualizing your existing knowledge and activating a deeper, more sustainable, and conscious mode of practice rooted in your own unique wisdom.
