About this Event
Deepen your knowledge and skills with your colleagues with live mentoring and supervision with Olena Nitefor Friday, June 13 - Monday, June 16, 2025.
"Olena’s Hips and Knees class was wonderful for me personally, as a participant with a hip replacement, and professionally, as a practitioner. The online portion of the class, delivered over Zoom, offered an interesting progression of ATMs and discussions that coordinated beautifully with the FIs we were watching in between classes. Both the ATMs and FIs built on each other so that by the end of the class, the relationships between the joints from toes to head felt contiguous and accessible in my understanding and my touch. Olena is a very generous and engaging teacher, in the abundance of material presented in class and the additional lessons and videos offered between classes that addressed the needs, interests, and confusions that presented themselves. My FIs are better, my clients are feeling more as I understand more, and my own lingering discomfort in my repaired hip has diminished enormously.
I was lucky enough to attend the in person Boston workshop associated with the class which was also fabulous and was a great way to put into practice both what we learned in the online portion and what we saw as Olena worked with a member of the public with some serious challenges post-injury. Very rarely do we get to see a masterful practitioner give a series of lessons and it was extraordinarily useful and inspiring. Having the entire class, both online and in person on video, allows me to keep learning from them which is a great gift." NL, workshop participant
The context and themes in this live workshop are built on the Advanced Functional Integration® series "Working with Experiences Hips and Knee Issues" Part 2 online program that specifically addresses the handling skills needed to execute one's intentions with skill and accuracy.
Live FI® demos will be during the in-person segment and partner exploration study. These will be videotaped and sent to the participants within a month of the live workshop, are included in the fee. It is understood that only participants in the online program are eligible to attend this live training.
