Dondi & Titanya will be there too!!

Dondi and Titanya will be teaching The Five Elements and Titanya will be presenting her Energy Dance!

Some of the greatest international experts in these fields will take part in this event, including: energy medicine trailblazer Donna Eden, best-selling authors and pioneering researchers in the field of energy psychology David Feinstein and Dawson Church; psychologist, psychoanalyst, and future president of ACEP (Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology) Phil Mollon; psychologist and executive director of ACEP, Bob Schwarz; and Marion Blique, clinical psychologist and energy psychology practitioner and trainer.

This conference will be facilitated by Jean-Michel Gurret, author, psychotherapist, energy psychology practitioner and trainer, and co-founder of Quantum Way, the organizer of this event.

This event will be entirely devoted to the practical use of energy medicine and energy psychology in both clinical settings and everyday life. The aim of the conference and the workshops surrounding it is to explain in detail why and how these energy methods and techniques work, based on science (research carried out by the speakers), clinical experience, and the observation of changes live.

In fact, this will be one of the very first times, in France, that you will be able to directly observe changes in brain waves and heart frequency taking place in humans during live demonstrations of energy treatments and meditation, thanks to Gary Groesbeck, BCIA, and Donna Bach, ND, “Awakened Mind” trainers.

This conference will be of interest both to mental health and support professionals (therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, doctors, coaches, naturopaths, hypnotherapists, etc.) and to members of the general public seeking sound and effective ways to improve their health and well-being.

In addition to presentations, testimonies and demonstrations, participants will learn techniques, routines or protocols that can initiate or support life-changing shifts. These simple, easy-to-learn techniques derive from cutting-edge research in neuroscience, psycho-bio-neuro-immunology, and epigenetics. Amongst other things, they serve to activate immunity genes, and to down-regulate and thus lower the count of inflammation genes.

If you already practice energy techniques on yourself or your patients, this conference offers a unique opportunity to meet and get to know real pioneers and leaders of these methods in a relaxed environment, and directly chat with them.

If you are not yet very familiar with these tools, or you are simply curious or even sceptical, you are welcome to join us and we will endeavour to answer your questions as objectively as possible.

Descriptions

Friday, March 17: Workshop

Few methods for healing old emotional wounds and processing trauma, loss, or the residue of other difficult circumstances can begin to rival the speed and power of acupoint tapping protocols. Clearing and healing the past does not, however, automatically install adaptive new behaviors. Old patterns die hard. This workshop will explore both sides of the equation: completing “unfinished business” and introducing a protocol for implementing new behaviors. Designed for individuals who already know a tapping protocol, the class will be an informal exploration of your current skills, learning needs, and questions. It will be highly interactive with discussion, stage demonstrations, and practice with partners. Be thinking about a personal goal for your practice sessions.

Saturday, March 18: Conference

The techniques and procedures of energy psychology are derived from the larger field of energy medicine. Energy medicine is an integrative approach that works with the meridians, chakras, aura, radiant circuits, and five other energy systems to promote health, healing, and vitality. Most energy psychology approaches focus on only one of these systems. Energy medicine teaches energy psychology practitioners how to increase their success by drawing upon procedures that can be easily applied and are effective with clients facing a wide variety of psychological challenges. For instance, depression is always accompanied by a condition in the energy field that involves disturbed cross-over patterns. Addressing this disturbance first prepares the body so acupoint tapping will be more effective.

Sunday, March 19: Conference

Titanya Dahlin’s Energy Medicine Dance is a joyous healing movement based upon the energy medicine work of holistic health pioneer of her mother, Donna Eden. Set to vibrant world music, Titanya guides you as you dance out your stress by connecting to chakras, meridians and radiant circuits, manifesting more joy into your energy field. Your body will be buzzing and humming with a smile on your face for the rest of the day!

The Five Elements system is the world’s oldest approach for understanding personality, with roots in Chinese Medicine tracing back more than 2000 years. Chinese physicians believed that people were guided by one of five primary elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal. Each element has its own health, personality, behavioral, physical, and emotional strengths and challenges. Knowing your element and the element of those around you can help you predict these challenges, resolve conflicts, attract relationships that support you, and feel true compassion for yourself and others. Through intriguing stories and illuminating descriptions of the five personality types, you will have a good idea of what your element is and also what the elements are of those you care about. Once you have this knowledge, you can access powerful wisdom and clarity about human beings and begin to understand why people do the things they do.

Every relationship begins with the meeting of two very different energies. These energies come together and merge into a new energy field that has never before existed on the planet. This union of energies, while invisible, is a powerful force. The heart and brain are each surrounded by an electromagnetic field, with the heart’s field being some 60 times greater in amplitude than the brain’s. The heart-emotions one partner is feeling influence the other partner’s brain waves! Even deeper than psychological influences, these invisible energies determine how the partners will communicate, how they will handle their differences, and how they will love one another. This class will introduce you to these concepts through vivid demonstrations, and it will focus in particular on how the unique energy make-up of each partner can be understood for vastly improving a couple’s ability to be spontaneous, feel safe, and communicate well.

An energy psychology treatment session involves hundreds of mini-transactions between the client and the practitioner. Which ones are essential for therapeutic change to occur? What are the “active ingredients” in tapping protocols? What are the essentials? And how do those essentials operate? These questions will be explored by examining vignettes from tapping sessions with a phobia and with PTSD, hitting pause at critical moments, and discussing what just occurred. It will be of interest to people with all levels of experience in energy psychology.

Two questions will be addressed: 1) Does Energy Psychology change deep emotional learnings, and 2) If it does, how does it do it? An overview of existing research addresses the first question, showing that efficacy studies paint a picture of a therapeutic approach that is both effective and unusually rapid with a broad range of psychological conditions. To address the second question, the focus moves to the neurochemistry of a particularly challenging disorder, PTSD. It contrasts the biochemistry of conventional treatments with the biochemistry of treatments that involve acupoint tapping. Key concepts from learning theory and the neurochemistry of memory are introduced, and their critical roles in effective psychotherapy are explored.

Monday, March 20: Workshops

Donna Eden is known for invigorating presentations that are rich with audience participation and stunning demonstrations of simple methods for shifting the body’s energies for health and vitality. In this workshop, you will be learning techniques that leave you feeling more vibrant and energized. They have deeper benefits as well, such as enhancing your immune system, health, resilience, mental clarity, and emotional balance. The techniques can be self-applied and you can teach them to your loved ones or, if you are a health care practitioner, to your clients. You will leave the class knowing how to do a brief daily Energy Medicine Routine that will establish and maintain positive “energy habits” throughout your body. You will also learn how Energy Medicine can be used in a clinical setting where it can be combined with conventional medical treatments for addressing a wide range of health conditions.

Do you wonder why people do what they do? Would you like to alleviate unnecessary stress in your relationships? Knowing the wisdom of the Five Elements is a key to understanding people so you can have more ease and joy in your life The Five Elements are a roadmap so you can easily navigate your way through relationships without losing yourself along the way. In this class we will delve into the elements of Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, and Metal, provide fun exercises to balance the elements and boost energy, give tips for raising children in the Five Elements, and discuss easy ways to be able to know your element, and what element your friends, family, and co-workers are so you can get along better with anyone.
