 In this module Dan takes the quality of touch one step further, and brings one very delicate listening post into play: the cranium.
 In this class you'll learn to feel the restrictions and pathological patterns affecting the cranium. You'll start working with areas of interface, the sutures.
 Instructors: Dan Bensky
 Teaching Assistants: depending on the size of the group.

This module is not sequential. 
In this three-day class we will go over the living anatomy of the most important viscera, learn palpatory techniques to listen to them, and go over some ways to integrate this information into the practice of TEAM. This next step in Engaging Vitality, will aid in gaining a more complete and less abstract understanding of TEAM and its applications. It will have a significant positive impact on your practice.

Requirements: Basic Training.
Instructors: Dan Bensky
 Teaching Assistants: depending on the size of the group.
 Days of training: 3

Review class to refresh your knowledge about the Ba Mai palpation references already learned in Module 3 of our Basic Training, especially the Morphology felt on the Fluid Body. 

If you want to have some more practice to further imprint in the hands the references for each vessel, and maybe also connect them a bit more to the theoretical background that explains their dynamics, this review class is for you!
 

Topics covered during the Ba Mai Review: 

• Revisiting basic Morphology felt on the Fluid Body
• Basics of Ba Mai physiology and pathodynamics
• Integration of Ba Mai findings in the context of other Engaging Vitality listenings (Local Listening, Yang Rhythm, Visceral, etc.) and the general development of the treatment
• Needling in the context of the Ba Mai listening
• [Depending on the group] revisiting Ba Mai Inherent Movement.

Requirements: Basic Training -recommended but not mandatory: Ba Mai palpation class
Instructor: Rayén Antón
Table trainers: depending on the size of the group
Days of training: 2 

3-4 June 2023

Building on the basic skills and concepts covered in Visceral 1, in this workshop we will continue to work on keeping a three-dimensional view of the body, refining our layer palpation skills, and deepen the connection between feeling the structure and motion of the viscera and the practice of TEAM. We will focus much of this class at seeing/feeling the gut as a single structure and its connection to the TEAM idea of Spleen/Stomach and Stomach and Intestines. In addition we will learn some ways to engage with the heart and kidneys as structures and the implications of this engagement for our practices.

Requirements: Basic Training - Visceral I
