ANIMAL COMMUNICATION No Prerequisite No Text Required 12 Class Hours Program price: $310 Non program price: $360 Animals communicate in much the same way we do, and by understanding how our animal friends communicate, we can help them to lead healthier lives. Speaking with animals is an essential skill in order to help animals adjust to their domesticated world.

You will learn how to prepare an animal for a trip to the Veterinarian, or to cope with your upcoming vacation away from them. Lasting behavior modification happens when you are able to understand why your animal is behaving the way that they do. Many times animals will change because of their love for their guardian, but not without being heard first. Fights between animals that live in the same household can be resolved by patiently communicating with them. Another part of class will focus on how to perform a remote healing session with an animal at a distance, and how to support an animal and their guardian during end-of-life times.

MEDICAL QI GONG I, WIND & WATER STYLE Prerequisite: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced Acupressure No Text Required 15 Class Hours Program price: $360 Non program price: $410 Wind & Water Medical Qi Gong has been developed by Brian O'Dea, L. Ac. Medical Qi Gong has existed for thousands of years, and is an ancient branch of Asian Bodywork Therapy. Medical Qigong refers to a range of therapeutic methods, including applied Tai Chi/Qi Gong philosophy, movement and methods of moving energy. Grounded in ancient Chinese philosophy combined with meridian and point theory, this form balances energy (qi), blood, and body fluid flow from the inside. The goal is to balance and enhance, to cultivate, a practitioners energy and to then use that enhanced energy to facilitate the creation of greater health and balance in their clients. Practitioners cultivated intention and particular body movements are used to guide the qi in healthy directions. Tai Chi/Qi Gong exercises, theory, applications, and practice are all included. The term "Medical" is not meant to connote that this work is a form of medicine. The term is used in China to denote this kind of Asian Bodywork Therapy, to differentiate it from Qi Gong movement exercises for personal use. Both the AOBTA and NCCAOM recognize "Medical Qi Gong" as a form of Asian bodywork. July 31 & Aug 1 Weekend 9am - 5:30pm (Brian_O)
