1. Engaging Vitality – Seminars in Europe.
FOLLOW UP CLASS 2014 – With Charles Chace
Greetings Friends
I am delighted to announce that we will once again be running an advanced
palpation class in Barcelona in October. The weekend will be structured to
accommodate a wide range of familiarity with the material presented in previous
trainings. Some of you may wish to review techniques covered in those classes and
some of you will be ready for new material. As with previous classes, the curriculum
will focus on deepening and integrating your existing skills while introducing you to
a few more palpatory techniques. We will be revisiting the phenomena of ignition,
listening from the extremities and sacrum and incorporating some more anatomical
information into our understanding of energetic structures. Finally, we will be
actively working to help you integrate this approach into your own clinical practice.
We’ve attached a rough syllabus below just to give you an idea of what we have in
mind, though we will adapt the content of the class based on the needs and interests
of the participants. Please do let us know what material you would like us to cover.
In any event, it will be fun, informative and useful. I’m really looking forward to it,
and I hope you can join us.
Best wishes,
Chip Chace
