Jack Adam Weber is a published poet and holds a four-year Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. He graduated valedictorian of his class from Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Santa Monica, California. He currently resides and is in private practice as an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist in Hawaii.

Mr. Weber incorporates the reading and writing of poetry into his medical practice as a window into the soul’s innate wisdom for healing, an aspect of ourselves often ignored and to a large degree inaccessible through the technical practice of medicine. Presently, he is working to integrate the healing power of poetry and the imagination into holistic healthcare. He conducts workshops, speaking on the art of medicine and the healing power of poetry, helping others find health and meaning in their lives through holistic medicine and their own creative impulse.

Mr. Weber’s poems reflect the elements of nature and the beauty and challenges of the human heart. His "Healing Poem Cards," compiled of poems from Poetic Healing and other yet to be released publications, have already sold thousands of copies and are carried by many doctors’ offices, health food stores, bookstores, and natural health clinics and resorts. Mr. Weber has just released five new sets of Healing Poem Cards on different themes for healing: On Love, On Transformation, On Meaningful Work and Calling, on Writing and Creativity, and On Surrender, which are displayed in the Art and Bookstore section of this website.

Weber’s latest creations, "Healing Poetry-art," consist of poems hand-calligraphied onto larger sheets of papers with natural images and materials. All are framed in dark cherry wood. This series is currently being displayed in various Los Angeles and Hawaii locations. Reproductions of these colorful art pieces are being made into a new line of greeting cards, which will be displayed in the Art and Bookstore when available

Jack Weber has also practiced and taught yoga, tai chi ch’uan, massage, and western medical herbalism for the last fifteen years. Born in November of 1967, he grew up among the woods of Connecticut and Mexico and has lived close to nature for much of his life. The son of two former Spanish literature professors, he is part Spanish himself and fluent in the language. He has written poetry in both English and Spanish since the age of fourteen, as well as translated poems from Spanish to English.
