It's March of 2026 and 5NP is now rolling out! and i'm slowly moving back into community work3/18/2026  Letty Dogheart 5NP Tech # 229760 5NP Trainer #229885 The 5NP Tech IS IN!It's a New Moon! And new projects are rolling out. It's incredible! 5NP is now legal to practice in Oregon as a non acupuncturist and I am now registered as an official 5NP Technician AND Trainer for future 5NP Techs. I am so grateful for all the hands and minds and words and efforts that have brought us here. Gratitude to the Ancestors of Spirit and Craft for laying the foundations. Gratitude to the aligned hearts and minds for caring on the work. The gift of 5NP is finally here for us to care for our communities and empower others to care for community. We take care of us! As the spring is emerging, and the weeks and days and months of our neighbors being targeted, terrorized and stolen, I hope. My heart breaks a million times a day, as the oozing and crusted veil is being peeled back to reveal the deeply infected wound of settler colonial rule and white supremacist patriarchy claws to retain power. My heart mends a million times a day right along side the heart break as I look around at my neighborhood, at my communities, at my comrades putting in the work. Because we take care of us. Each of my kin doing the work in the ways they know how. If you are feeling stuck and struck down by despair, I invite you to look around to see who is helping. Plug in. We need you. The garden is blooming and I have been feeling well enough to do some work to tidy up and make way for new plants. I have spent the winter resting, getting into the flow my body needs and reestablishing connections that have fallen of, creating new ones and working to maintain the ones I have been able to keep going. All the while, working on my art practice and thinking about my capacity and the offerings I want to give to community. I am working on doing 5NP pop ups for people directly impacted by the secret police. Their families, and the people doing direct support to them. And I am working to offer trainings so that others can become registered 5NP Techs. This entails sometimes doing house calls, offering herbal support like tinctures and teas from the garden. And offering the herb library for others doing care work for people in community. And Training future 5NP techs. I will be running a pilot training in mid April that is at capacity now and another in partnership with WCA at the end of April that is also FULL UP! Wow, good job folks getting on the waiting list. I will be offering trainings thru WCA AND offering trainings under my own Trainer Registry #. WCA trainings i will refer you to if you and your organization has a budget for professional development. BUT for folks who cannot afford the general price point of a training plus the registration fee...(FAQ on that on the OMB website) I am offering low cost trainings by request. SOOOOOOOO, send me a message if you wanna book me. Or you wanna colab on an event for your community or if you wanna offer some dollars to cover materials for scholarship spots in training! I would really like to offer this training for free. I am not paying myself for this labor. I am currently fronting money for space rental, training supplies and needles and pop up event supplies. and whoooo it adds up. IF you are feeling inclined to send some money our way to ease some of the financial pressure, I would deeply appreciate it. Or if you wanna book me for a training, I would also appreciate it! Solidarity Babes!
