About the seminar:
What if we practiced being consciously aware and experienced life as children do? What if these experiences made us understand children more deeply, ourselves more deeply, and led to a more thoughtful and harmonious existence?

Join is in a very unique and exclusive opportunity to study with renowned physiotherapist Ute Strub, who, beginning in 1979, worked closely with Dr. Emmi Pikler. Strub leads Pikler® and Hengstenberg® trainings internationally and has studied movement for decades. Her work over the years has impacted generations of babies, children, and adults. At this week-long retreat, you will experience Ms. Strub's and Ms. Chahin’s simple yet profound experiments, which will help you connect with the child within you. Our event takes place at the peaceful and serene Serra Retreat, one of the most beautiful retreat centers in Southern California. Two attendance options are available: stay overnight (three meals included) or drive in daily and join us for the activities and have lunch with the group. This seminar is open to anyone who wants to experience joyful play and grounding mindfulness. Spots are extremely limited! Register today to take advantage of this rare opportunity to awaken playfulness inside you and reconnect with your body and your mind under the guidance of our esteemed experts.

After completion of this seminar, participants need to submit written report of their experience by July 17, 2020
