It has been said that the eyes are the windows to the soul. With the study of Iridology, the eyes (specifically the iris) are believed to be the window to the entire body. Iridology has been used for many years throughout Europe and has gained popularity in the West during the past fifty years. During this exciting hands-on workshop, students will learn how to look at the iris of the eye, to identify which organs, glands, structures and anatomical systems of the body might be suffering the adverse effects of stress. Some subjects that will be explored are: What Iridology is and it’s history. What can and cannot be read using Iridology. Herring’s Law. Organic Functional Imbalance Curative Crisis “Reaction to the Natural Process from Organic Healing.” In addition these subjects will be covered. Introduction to: Ocular Anatomy and Physiology, Localization of the Areas of the Iris (Graph), Functional States of the Iris, Genetic Constitution, Marks of the Iris, Signs of the Iris. Students will be guided through practice using magnifying glass and light to “read” the iris of the eye. After this Seminar, you will never look at the eyes in the same way again. They are indeed powerful windows into the well-being of a person.

Polarity Reflexology combines working energetically with the Five Elements of Polarity Therapy; Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ether, with Foot & Hand Reflexology. Learn how the 5 elements (slightly different from Chinese Medicine) affect you, your client and your sessions together. It can become part of the way you communicate in all aspects of your life, including how you, the practitioner speak, move, touch and make protocol-related decisions, i.e. what areas of the feet and hands to emphasize for balancing your client elementally. A completely new In-Take Form and protocols are included, based on your client’s Five Element needs, such as grounding/fear (earth), motivating creativity (fire), grieving (ether), panic (air), not letting go (water). Being able to identify these elements in your clients, their bodies, their voices and their complaints helps identify opportunities for incorporating the 5 elements seamlessly into your sessions. Instructor, Lisa Chan, LAc, PHd, and RPP (Registered Polarity Practitioner) considers the principles of Polarity Reflexology a core part of all of her sessions as well as the larger world around her, outside of sessions. Come join the exploration of the 5 Elements, their corresponding sounds, music, voice, touch, movement, body mapping and Foot & Hand Reflexology in a new way of seeing your world and making a deeper, more connected impact on your work and life. This class is open to the enthusiastic non-reflexologist, massage therapists, Bodyworkers, Reflexologists, others in the caring arts, but some knowledge of reflexology is helpful.

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 even 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.

While in Western Pathology Classes in acupuncture school, I constantly found myself exclaiming, ‘Reflexologists need to know this!’ “Who knew that acupuncture school could send me back to Reflexology with more dedication than ever? I understand that Reflexologists and other natural health practitioners do not diagnose, but knowledge is power.” – Lisa M. Chan, LAc, PhD. It seems, more than ever, Reflexologists are working closely with their Western and Eastern medicine counterparts. With so many of the symptoms of disease appearing on the feet and hands, Bill Flocco has agreed to hold this pathology class. (Pathology = the study of disease) Anyone dealing with feet, hands and outer ears would benefit from knowing or reviewing some of the possible reasons that people have non-healing wounds, edema, swelling, shooting pains, structural irregularities, weakness, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel and repetitive disorders; or how diabetes, genetic disorders, DVT, MRSA, TB, AIDS, allergic reactions, cellulitis, phlebitis, lymphedema, syphilis, possible skin cancer, athletes foot, and how these may show up in, or impact feet, hands or outer ears. And, although Reflexologists and natural health practitioners do not diagnose, it can be valuable to learn when, and some ways of how, to refer clients to podiatrists, chiropractors, ERs, MDs and dermatologists. Additionally, learn hands-on techniques and exercises to help with structural issues of the feet and hands, as well as when to glove up and mask up with your clients, and how to clear your session/treatment rooms and yourselves after working with sick or possibly contagious people.
