Community Acupuncture with Julia Bennett

“Simone Leigh: The Waiting Room”: Care Sessions

Community acupuncture is a growing approach to providing accessible, cost-effective treatment to groups of people in a soothing, shared environment. Participants will be separated by folding screens for privacy and treated together for twenty-minute acupuncture sessions. 



Julia Bennett is a board-certified, licensed acupuncturist whose particular passion is community health and the health concerns of women, with an emphasis on working with women who have tested positive for HIV and AIDS. Bennett believes that one of the greatest health challenges of our humanity involves addressing wellness as a birthright. 



This care session is offered in conjunction with “Simone Leigh: The Waiting Room.” All care sessions will be open to the public free of charge and will take place on the Fifth Floor. Unless otherwise noted, participants must sign up in the New Museum Lobby half an hour before each session to attend. Space is limited, and admission is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
