Dates/Times/Location:
July 11-13, 2026
9am-4pm
Location – Quest St Kilda Bayside – 1 Eildon Road, St Kilda. If I end up with a very large group it will be moved to China Books Melbourne (234 Swanston Street, Melbourne CBD). I will give you as much notice as I can about venue.
Price:
$1200 OR $2000 if two workshops are selected from the 2026 schedule.
Includes a substantial amount of notes and activations/treatments that you can refer to and use in your clinic. Videos of the activations are also included.
Note on the Workshop:
You do not have to have attended any of my previous tuning fork workshops. Each workshop stands alone, plus they are repeated throughout the year anyway. They will also become online options by the end of 2026.
Whilst the Five Element Archetypes and Five Spirits are designed to be completed as a set, they can be done separately and can be done out of order.
Description:
The Five Element Archetypes (March workshop) are not the only system to think about when you are trying to understand people. The Five Spirits (Wǔ Shén) are also an important consideration, because they help further dissect complex individuals. And whilst there is an argument that your archetype doesn’t change in your life (Nature versus Nurture not withstanding), the Five Spirits can change daily, hourly, or even as you are sitting there reading this workshop description.
The value of understanding, and implementing, the Five Element Archetypes and Five Spirits, into your clinic cannot be understated. They give you a greater insight into your patient’s personality – how they operate in their worlds; how they tick! This also aids you in the treatment of your patient’s emotional turmoil, stress and mental health.
The Five Spirits will be analysed (July workshop), including their definition, discussion, and activations/treatments. Essentially you will be given information that can be applied to your clinical and personal lives immediately.
Join me for this fascinating workshop series. I guarantee you will start archetyping everyone, not just your patient’s.
Workshop Overview:
NOTE: The workshop is fluid and may change based on participant numbers, massage tables and the general speed of the group. You will always get what is included in the workshop. The timing may just alter slightly. This also means that the workshop may extend slightly on any given day too.
