1.  World Reflexology                                                                               Jan 30-31    12 CE Hours

     20 Exotic Reflexology Maps On Face, Head, Extremities & Energywork Through The Toes 

Start your year off by exploring, hands-on, twenty (20) Reflexology maps of the body discovered by medical doctors from around the world during the second half of the twentieth century.  Learn about the Korean Reflex Maps - a complete reflex map of the entire body, located in each hand, and, in each foot - not both feet and hands as in the common Western Reflexology maps.  Learn and work with Reflexology maps on the nose, face, temple, crown, big web of the hands, the Taiwanese 2nd Metacarpal Reflexology Map, Phases 3 and 4 on the outer ear, and many others.  Massage Therapists, Bodyworkers, Reflexologists, Nurses, primary health care providers and others will be able to work with these lesser Reflexology Maps separately, or incorporate them into their current touch therapy practices. 

You will be amazed at the profound power of what you will learn.  Imagine being able to bring about profound relaxation, and oftentimes, emotional release, with the lightest touch, just on the ten toes and ten fingers.  In class, apply these unique techniques discovered by Bill, during his years of teaching Reflexology around the world.  Until you experience it, it’s hard to believe how profound these can be.  Students will practice on each other the “Brazilian Toe Technique,” the “California Toe Technique,” as well as the “Canadian Toe Technique.”  Most people are amazed at how such light work can lead to such deep relaxation and occasionally such significant emotional releases.  This class is ideal for all who would like to have simple, easy, gentle ways to induce profound relaxation.  Instructor: Bill Flocco

2.  Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology and Biomechanics of the Feet, Hands                  
Mar 27-28    12 CE Hours

3.  Energy Healing & Aura Balancing                                                       Apr 24-25   12 CE Hours

Seminar Description:  Most people have heard of the electrical energy from our hands being able to help bring balance and harmony to mind, body, and spirit.  In this hands-on Seminar students will learn a series of dynamic time proven techniques, designed to restore balance, harmony and well-being to a person’s physical and subtle bodies.  Special emphasis will be placed on proper preparation, mental focus, feeling the electrical field around a person, proper hand positioning, sequencing, and actually working with the subtle yet powerful energy fields of the body, especially with the five major Chakras.  Thousands of people throughout the world have learned this simple step-by-step technique over the past 30 years and have brought about what many would call absolute “miracles.” Even if you have never done any healing before, or never even thought about it, you can emerge after two days as a confident spiritual healer. On the other hand, if you are an experienced healer you will also gain a great deal from this workshop.

You will also be taught how to send healing across the other side of the world. This is not a theoretical workshop (if there is such a thing), but is intensely practical.  Also, it is complete in itself and will address many issues that are of particular concern to the would-be healer, such as protection of the healer, self-healing and ways to enhance your own healing ability.  The other awesome thing about it (actually there are many) is that it really does work.  Practitioners of this approach have had many healing "miracles" over the years using this same technique. Instructors: Maureen Holdaway & Jude Unegbu

4.  Cancer & Coronal Foot Reflexology                                       June 12-13    Hours 12

More and more people will be looking for your help as cancer remains the key health issue for people in the 21st Century. If we do not experience it directly we will know someone who does. Those affected by this challenge are turning increasingly to complementary approaches to conventional chemotherapy and radiation treatment and all the unpleasant side effects. Reflexology can be a very powerful aid for cancer patients at whatever stage of treatment. By using the powerful and relaxing techniques you will learn during this hands-on workshop, you can make a significant difference to the well-being of your clients. During this class you will learn new, powerful and immediately useful techniques to assist in the body’s self healing process, and you will abandon any lingering fear of applying Reflexology while developing a better understanding of what cancer is actually all about. Students will also learn Coronal Zone Reflex Therapy™ a British approach which deals with a different zone concept. 

There are 40 points which can be located through the medial (inner) aspects of each foot and 32 points on the lateral (outer) edge of both feet. These can be worked by projecting the energy through the body from the outer margins into the core, or from the centre of the body radiating outwards to the surface.  This method and the techniques easily integrate into your Reflexology, Massage, or Bodywork Routines. It is important to stress that these are additional access points for the powerful delivery of Reflexology. This useful tool in your practice does not seek to replace conventional reflexology but rather allows for an additional perspective when working with the wide range of health challenges presented by your clients. Instructor: Lee Anthony Taylor

5.  Thai / Chinese Foot Reflexology & Footwork                                          July 24-25    Hours 12

Contrary to popular belief, Reflexology was introduced to China only during the past 30 years.  It has spread like wild fire and is now used extensively throughout Asia.  Massage Therapists, Bodyworkers, Reflexologists, and other professionals have been hearing of especially effective touch therapies coming out of Thailand.  During this Seminar, students will learn a complete hands-on foot and lower leg routine as practiced in Thailand as well as many of the latest approaches to Foot Reflexology to come out of China.  Hundreds of Reflexology Research studies have been conducted in clinics, hospitals, and medical teaching centers throughout China, using many of the techniques the student will learn during this Seminar.  This work is fun, deeply relaxing, and has a dramatic ability to increase circulation not only in the feet, but also throughout the rest of the body.
