7 Day Residential in Paradise

April 25th - May 1st, 2004

on Sanibel Island on Florida's Gulf Coast

Focus: Visceral and Cranial Work

with Advanced Instructors Bettina Seidl and Hans Diepold

 

This residential will be a dynamic combination of learning new skills and techniques and deepening your understanding of the profound healing power of Ortho-Bionomy.

Hans and Bettina will present visceral and cranial techniques that have rarely been taught in the United States. Body-awareness exercises and the practice of being present both to yourself and your clients will help you integrate and embody the technical skills you will be learning. In addition, we will refine our energy preception and touch skills by spending some of our time outside, coming into closer relationship with the natural environment. Florida’s tropical climate, unspoiled nature and gentle ocean will support us in connecting with the principles of Ortho-Bionomy both in and out of the class room. Practicing Ortho-Bionomy in the water will be an optional activity .

Our condos are located on a quiet part of the island within walking distance from the beach and only a 10 minute drive from the wildlife preserve that covers a third of the island. 3 half days have been set aside from class time for you to enjoy the beauty and unspoiled nature of Sanibel island with its white sand beaches, unparalleled abundance of seashells, wealth of wildlife and lush vegitation.

Class size is limited to 12 students which offers you an unusual opportunity to learn from and be supported by two seasoned advanced instructors.

Be sure to mark you calendars and join us for this wonderful opportunity to expand your skills and to rejuvenate body, mind and spirit.
