When Mind meets Shen (fully booked, waiting list: 11 December)
Modern psychology offers effective tools to support emotional balance, deepen presence, and stabilize Shen. In this one-day training, you’ll learn how to bring these tools into your treatments —
through grounding techniques, communication skills, guided imagery, breathwork, and simple somatic practices.
This isn’t about becoming a psychotherapist. It’s about learning how to hold the mind gently, so the Shen can settle — and healing can truly begin.

Domestic Violence (WM-C)
Domestic violence is a critically under-diagnosed issue that exists within the patient population of every healthcare practitioner. It affects individuals across all genders, ages, and social strata—from women, men, and children to the elderly. Yet, the majority of cases remain hidden and unreported.
This impactful one-day seminar—previously accredited by the Dutch Medical Association (KNMG)—provides essential knowledge for any healthcare professional.
Join us to gain the confidence and skills to view patient injuries through a different lens and play a vital role in breaking the cycle of abuse.

SOLK / PPS (WM-B)
Many patients experience symptoms for which conventional healthcare cannot find a clear physical explanation. These are often the very patients who turn to complementary health practitioners, who can offer fresh diagnostic and therapeutic perspectives from their own professional frameworks. Such symptoms are referred to as Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS), or more recently Persistent Physical Symptoms (PPS).
During this interactive training day you will:
• explore what is meant by SOLK/PPS and how these conditions are viewed within conventional medicine.
• share your own perspectives on these symptoms and connect them with patterns recognised in complementary medicine.
• discover where and how you, as a complementary health professional, can play a meaningful role for this patient group.

Similarities between TCM and Traditional Hellenic Medicine
After many years of teaching the basic theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), practicing Acupuncture, and researching Traditional Hellenic Medicine, I have observed numerous similarities and cross-connections between these two medical systems. Understanding these connections can greatly benefit Western students of TCM, providing them with deeper insight and enhancing their ability to integrate knowledge across different traditions.

Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture
Wrist-Ankle Acupuncture (WAA) is an acupuncture technique invented in 1975 by Professor Zhang Xinshu. WAA involves the stimulation of 12 acupuncture points located in the wrist and ankle through the insertion of subcutaneous needles that are left in place and crusted over. It is a completely painless technique and is widely used in clinical practice, particularly for musculoskeletal disorders, but also for internal medicine in combination with somatic acupuncture. During the seminar, the main applications of this method will be illustrated, and a lot of attention and space will be given to the practical part and the methodology of needle insertion.
