Apprenticeship Programme and Professional Training Programme

with Ya’Acov Darling Khan & Susannah Darling Khan & Staff

In this programme, you will be supported to find a healthy balance between accepting and being who you are, and becoming and realising who you can be. This will happen through a deep immersion in Movement Medicine practice, and the support of a strong staff team and a strong circle of peers.
Just as the acorn has within it the blueprint of the fully-grown oak tree, each of us has within us a unique pattern for what we can become. Given the right conditions, we will grow in time and in harmony with the seasons. A supportive and demanding environement establishes the inner resources to give ourselves the best opportunity to awaken, embody the dreams we hold deep within us, and develop our potential as creative and empowered human beings.

Module One: 3-11 March 2012.
Module Two: 1-9 July 2012: Community Gathering and Long Dance (*)
Module Three: 22-30 September 2012
Module Four: 17-24 February 2013
Module Five (optional): 30th June - 8th July Community Gathering and Long Dance (*)
Module Six: 16-22 September 2013

(*) The Community Gathering and Long Dance is an essential part of the apprenticeship. We recommend that you attend both but we have made the second of the two optional. The Community Gathering is open to all Movement Medicine Apprentices, Practitioners (people who have completed the apprenticeship who wish to continue to study) and Movement Medicine Teachers. We feel that it will be an important part of the apprenticeship to meet with this circle.

The intention of this work is that you totally accept who you are, and continue in your evolution towards becoming all that you can be, contributing everything you’ve got and realising your dreams. Our work will take us on a journey through all 9 Gateways of Movement Medicine practice. Individual feedback is essential to help each of us make conscious and then work with our own blind spots. We and our small team of experienced staff will work with you individually to get a clear sense of where you are in your life, help you to establish focus, direction and intention, and together, generate a dynamic, practical and tailor-made programme for your apprenticeship.
