Módulo 1: 18-19 Abril 2026

 *Esta formación se impartirá en castellano. 
 

En este seminario comenzaremos a explorar el alcance de esta formación, presentando los diferentes aspectos de la palpación y funciones de los Zang Fu desde la perspectiva de la Medicina China. 

Presentaremos algunos conceptos específicos tales como la Motilidad (movimiento inherente) y la Mobilidad (movimiento en respuesta) de los diferentes órganos. Sintonizaremos nuestras antenas palpatorias a la cualidad de los Zang Fu, continuaremos explorando como su forma, localización y función se retroalimentan y condicionan mutuamente. 

Temas específicos del Seminario 1:

• Layer Palpation – Introducción a la estructuras del abdomen y el tórax. 
• Órganos específicos: Estómago - sistema digestivo - Intestino Grueso - Pulmón 

Módulo 2: 30 - 31 Mayo 2026 

En este segundo encuentro revisitaremos los temas del primer encuentro, construyendo a partir de la sensibilidad palpatoria adquirida, y aclarando dudas que puedan haber aparecido en el periodo entre clases. 

Exploraremos el concepto de Distenisiblidad. 

Temas específicos seminario 2:

• Hígado - Vesícula Biliar - Páncreas - Duodeno - Revisión Estómago 

Módulo 3: 11 - 12 Julio 2026 

En este último encuentro nos aseguraremos de aclarar dudas y temas que hayan aparecido durante los últimos dos encuentros. Revisitaremos todos los temas anteriores e integraremos la escucha visceral en nuestro marco de práctica clínica. 

Temas específicos del seminario 3:

• Revisión de todos los temas - Riñón - Vejiga Urinaria 

Pre-requisitos: EV FUNDAMENTOS
Trainers: Gemma Casasampera

06 July 2026

In this Review Day we'll revisit the topics of the 1-2-3 Fundamental training. The specific content of the class will depend on the needs of the group.

If you're interested on participating, please fill in the pre-class questionnaire HERE so we can include your preferred topic in the mix! 

Pre-requisitos: Fundamentals

25-26 July 2026

En este encuentro continuamos  explorando los Vasos Extraordinarios usando de base lo que aprendimos en el anterior ecuentro de Palpación de Vasos Extraordinarios. 

Iniciaremos nuestro viaje intentando clarificar dudas y preguntas que hayan surgido en la práctica clínica en relación con los Ba Mai. Volveremos sobre el tema de la profundidad a la que cada Vaso prefiere actuar, siguiendo las ideas de Li ShiZhen y empleando la Morfología de Chip Chace para esta exploración. 

También revisitaremos los Movimientos Inherentes y la función que conlleva cada una de estas dinámicas, interconectando esta visión con los aspectos más "geográficos", con la finalidad comprender más a fondo tanto las características fisiológicas como las patologías, vinculando todo esto con nuestras referencias palpatorias.

Pre-requisitos: Ba Mai palpation class

"Inspiration exists, but it must find you working" 

Pablo Picasso.

2026 will bring to Barcelona the 14th annual gathering of exploration and research for Engaging Vitality practitioners. This inspiring weekend is the fruit of the whole year of attentive clinical practice, and the place where we share our findings and put them to test for further refinement.
As it is already tradition, we'll have a central topic of research, and we'll make use of the entire EV toolbox at the service of recursive learning.  

Pre-requisites: EV Fundamentals - will to share and grow together. 

Presenting the topic of the year: EV crew.

30 - 31  October 2026

Within the Engaging Vitality toolbox we have listening tools to palpate the regular channels (channel listening), overall fields of influence (Shape of Qi, Fluid Body), and we also have ways to palpate the nuances of different levels of activity and motions (Qi Signal Assessment, Yang Rhythm, Fluid Tide, Motility and Mobility of the Viscera, for instance). And this is not all, we can also palpate the Extraordinary Vessels, once we have acquired our basic toolbox.
When we first encounter the Fluid Body, the “bag” during our FUNDAMENTALS, we’re laying the ground to be able to recognize the Morphology of the Extraordinary Vessels in that Fluid Body.
When we learn to palpate and follow the Yang Rhythm (FUNDAMENTALS) or feel the Motility of the Organs (VISCERAL CLASS), we’re also putting into practice the same way of tuning and antennas we’ll use to palpate the Inherent Movement of the Extraordinary Vessels. 

In this class we use, just as reference when it is a familiar ground, basic Extraordinary Vessel pulse descriptions, and abdominal reflex areas. We make use of all the tools we’ve acquired during our FUNDAMENTAL training, and expand our palpatory tools to a new terrain of investigation. 

This class is not sequential.

1  November 2026

 In this gathering we’ll make use of the listening tools we’ve acquired so far, especially using the Inherent Movement and the Morphology of Ba Mai not only as listening and diagnostic tools, but also to help us better understand the dynamics going on with our patients.

• We’ll go over clinical cases, analyzing them through this lens.
• We’ll explore further the connections of local restrictions to the depth and dynamic of manifestation of the Ba Mai.
• We’ll further explore the work of the Ba Mai as a unit and the possibility of tapping into the self-healing mechanisms beyond the scope of the regular channels (the use of Ba Mai to “rescue” overtreatment situations, etc.)
