Spirit of the Organs - Zero Balancing the Viscera
This stimulating, four-day class will teach evaluation, mobilization and balancing the energy and structure of the internal organs. Using “ZB Anatomy” and ZB principles (including interface, fulcrums, working signs, etc.,) ZB practitioners will gain the skills and confidence to integrate visceral work into their Zero Balancing sessions.
Protocols and specific techniques will be taught for individual organs as well as general principles for constructing visceral fulcrums. The class will also explore the 5-element acupuncture concepts of Elements and Officials, which will introduce the spirit of each organ and its relationship to the cells, organs, the entire organism and to Nature.

ZB & Kids
This outstanding 4-day seminar will increase your skills and confidence working with children. We need to work with different strategies and techniques as, most noticeably, we are working on a moving target. Fulcrums will be shorter and more playful.
The differences between infants, babies, children and adolescents will be addressed. We will study the growth of the head, the fusing of cranial bones and the changes in psychosocial development that relate to this. Of particular interest to practitioners will be learning the skill of working on a moving target. Working with energy takes on a whole new meaning! There will be demos with babies and also hands-on work with children.

8 Ways of T’ai Chi Chuan TM
T’ai Chi is known for its ability to relax and revitalize body and mind, improve circulation and balance, and develop strength in the legs and flexibility in the joints. The Eight WaysTM is a course designed to help you embody the principles of T’ai Chi through images borrowed from nature. They are easier to learn, do, and remember than the form. We will be learning several of the 8 Ways including Sculling, Wearing the Moon Like a Cap, Walking on Thin Ice, and Standing on the Edge of a Steep Precipice.
To help us learn how to use these movements in daily living, we introduce Children’s Games TM such as Slap/Unslap, Slither, Monkey in the Middle, and Eyes in the Back of Your Head.
In addition, we work with breathing and practical philosophy. This class is taught in 10 hours over 10 weeks. A mini-version can be done in less time.
The Body: A Unity– Putting all the Parts Together

In addition, you will receive weekly touch feedback from Judith and classmates. The last month of the class will be focused on your clients.
Prerequisite: Core 1 ZB.
