This course offers an intensive training experience immersed in nature, in the nearby woodland and, weather permitting, with practical work in water at a lake located at 1000 meters above sea level.<\/p>\n
The natural environment becomes an integral part of the learning process, supporting the refinement of manual perception and the development of the practitioner\u2019s ability to listen to the patient\u2019s body.<\/p>\n
The aim of the course is to develop greater sensitivity in recognizing tissue qualities, their rhythms and dynamics, while improving the practitioner\u2019s neutrality, presence, and perceptual awareness.<\/p>\n
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:<\/p>\n
recognize and differentiate different qualities of tissue density<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
perceive and respect the patient\u2019s rhythms<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
improve practitioner neutrality during treatment<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
promote fluid circulation through rhythmic work<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
understand and apply still points<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
recognize and work with tissues exhibiting vibratory qualities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Rock shoes or athletic shoes are recommended, especially for those who do not enjoy the sensation of a clay-based lakebed. Access to the lake involves a 10-minute walk through the forest; athletic shoes are recommended. On the days when the group goes to the lake, sessions will end approximately 30 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n The course is intended for osteopaths who wish to deepen their skills in tissue perception, manual listening and rhythmic work.<\/p>\n The course fee is \u20ac700<\/strong> and includes coffee breaks with tea and biscuits, as well as light lunches on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n Hotel Bellavista:<\/strong> +39 0534 898166<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Agriturismo Ca\u2019 di Magnani:<\/strong> +39 331 7544203<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n experiential learning<\/p>\n<\/li>\n guided practice<\/p>\n<\/li>\n work in pairs and groups<\/p>\n<\/li>\n conscious use of the natural environment as a training tool<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Seminar Location:<\/strong> Via Ca Tofacchi 4, Florence \u00a0Baragazza (BO)<\/p>\n TPhone:<\/strong> +39 3336209898<\/p>\n Seminar hours:\u00a0<\/strong>Thursday, Friday and Saturday: from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm \u2013 2.30 pm to 5.00 pm; Sunday from 9.00 a.m. to 2.30 p.m.<\/p>\n Minimum Requirements:<\/strong> 5th Year Osteopathic Student<\/p>\n Participants:<\/strong> The course is activated with a minimum number of 8 participants and the limit of participants is 12 participants.<\/p>\n Costs: <\/strong>The course fee per seminar is \u20ac 700.00 <\/strong><\/p>\n Payment method:<\/strong> to register, make a bank transfer to the account of Paolo Desir\u00f2, BANCO BPM AG2 Firenze, IBAN IT75 I 05034 02800 000000140460 within 30 days and forward it by email to formazionedesiro@gmail.com together with your tax data<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\n
