ACPEM ANNUAL CONFERENCE & AGM 2008
 SPRING CONFERENCE 28th, 29th, 30th MARCH

The Energetic Connection: 

Exploring Both Sides of the Therapeutic Experience

Barony Castle

The Conference for 2008, for the first time in ACPEM’s history, will be held in Scotland. This wonderful opportunity will be staged in the beautiful grounds of Barony Castle (pictured here) in Eddlestone by Peebles on the Scottish Borders.

Our aim this year is to explore the more ‘experiential’ side of the energetic exchanges and processes that occur between the client and therapist. We have a strong contingency of speakers, with a wealth of therapeutic experience, who are delighted to share their expertise with us.

Practical workshops are included in each session, with plenty of time for experiencing, reflection and discussion. We will also be following up from last years 2007 conference with a practical session and update led by the Qi Gong working group.
