This is Insanity:
"To do what you've always done,
and then to insist on getting
something new."
Have you ever walked away from a workshop remembering nothing?
Have you ever walked away from a workshop with a bunch of techniques and no idea how they all fit?
Are you regularly using techniques from the last few workshops you've been to?
Have you ever wanted to design your own workshop?
If you could do things better, what would you do?
It's happened to us, so we're asking:
Help us do this better. Help us so this works for you.
Next Workshop / Seminar / Sharing Session:
Manual Medicine: An Introduction to Scope, Synthesis
and Clinical Bases of Reflexive De-afferentation Techniques

FEES:
For those who register / commit to participate during the
January 24 2009 Seminar-Workshop
Manual Medicine: An Introduction to Scope, Synthesis
and Clinical Bases of Reflexive De-afferentation Techniques
(An Overview of Manual Medicine Techniques)
the following cutoff dates and corresponding fees apply:
Date of registration: cost share:
up to December 23 FREE.
up to December 29, 2009 P500
up to January 04, 2009 P800
up to Janury 11, 2009 P1,000

January 19-24 and On-site Reg P2,000
Yes, we are essentially rewarding early commitment. Many already understand that This is valuable information we're sharing. The techniques themselves are, in practice, invaluable. Also, some people do not value what comes free. You know what we mean. So they are also most welcome to register late.
To confirm early registration, just leave a note with your nearest coordinator, to be forwarded to Dionne with your coordinator's endorsement, with the following data:
Your name, designation, institution, position occupied or maintained
A brief statement declaring why you're attending
The names of your two study-buddies
A brief list of what you already know, what you're certified to practice, and what you have mastery of.
P.S., we truly are sorry. While certificates will be issued, if you are merely looking for a piece of paper to stuff your portfolio or crowd your wall with, please offer your slot to any colleague you beleieve will more benefit from this. Your understanding with regard this matter is much appreciated.
ATTIRE:
Please come in either loose, comfortable clothing (anything easily removable is preferred) or in thin, bodyhugging clothing (no neoprene dive suits or Gortex body armor).
EQUIPMENT:
Please bring a large towel. One neuro hammer per group would be useful. One goniometer per group would be great. Those who prefer to bring along an anatomy atlas will be most welcome to do so. One skin marker or eyeliner pen per group may prove useful. One small, thin, long towel (Barbero towel) would be useful as well.
SUGGESTED WORKSHOP FORMAT:
Preferably, three people will be assigned per table or plinth. They will alternate roles: patient, practitioner, preceptor. This enables each participant to see each technique twice in their own time. Corrections and adaptations may be incorporated during each second demo.
Group numbers will be assigned. Each group will rotate a member at the main demo table at the front of the class at the start of each new technique demo. That group's two other members come closest to the main table to observe and ask questions re each new technique. This enables each group of three to become the resource persons for at least one technique. They can then procede to master that technique and pass it on. They are thus encouraged to learn each technique they are decked to a degree worthy of peer review and learning. One or more groups may thus, over time, pass their mastered technique onto others. This will also engender a collaboration between colleagues (and perhaps between institutions), who may choose to meet to master each other's sets in between workshops. They are encouraged to pass on well-mastered techniques to uninitiated colleagues.
As in life, these are mere suggestions. (They do, however, make the ride much more worthwhile.)
Paraphrased from the Late Pope John Paul II:
"This is one way, not necessarily THE way."
WHAT IS YOUR WAY, and where does it lead?
See you at the Sessions.
Yours in the Evolution of Manual Medicine,
