Description:

The goals of this conference are to:

  1. Discover that using embryology can make a profound impact in form and function for your patient.
  2. Recognize the possibility to seamlessly move between “current form” and “embryological form”.
  3. Learn the principles of checking for an embryological or developmental component of your patient’s problems.
  4. Experience how a change in consciousness results in a different field of observation enabling different potential outcomes.
  5. Sense where arrests are tethering the organism as a whole.
  6. Have at least one “ah-ha” moment in a lab.


Prerequisite:
