Throughout the day, the focus is on relaxation and letting go through relaxation sessions inspired by dynamic sophrology. These simple practices are designed to be easily replicated in a personal or professional setting.
Practical tools and subtle gestures are also discussed. Suitable for all situations, whether dealing with a customer, in a work environment or in everyday life, they allow you to release pressure in a matter of moments or, conversely, to regain energy and concentration when feeling tired. These techniques are derived from Do-In (traditional Chinese medicine), kinesiology and sophrology.
The day concludes with learning a complete self-shiatsu protocol for the head, as well as the basics for practising it on another person. This acupressure method promotes deep relaxation and provides a real sense of well-being, beneficial both for oneself and for loved ones or animals (dogs, cats, horses, etc.).
This introductory workshop offers participants the opportunity to explore and deepen their relationship and communication with animals, using an approach that respects their emotions, needs and individuality. The aim is to gain a better understanding of their subtle language in order to foster a harmonious relationship based on listening, respect and kindness. Animal communication is about establishing a deep connection from heart to heart, soul to soul.
The day is punctuated by two guided relaxation sessions, designed to facilitate refocusing, grounding and letting go of the mind. These breaks allow you to enter into a more sensitive and receptive state of presence, in resonance with the living world. Simple, accessible and fun exercises will then be offered to explore the natural capacities of intuition and openness to subtle communication, often referred to as ‘telepathy’. These practices aim to refine inner listening and develop the ability to perceive the bond between humans and animals in a different way.
The day will end with practical exercises using photographs of living and deceased animals, allowing participants to deepen and refine their feelings in a calm and supportive environment.
Allowing animals to benefit from Bach Flowers is like building a subtle bridge between their world and ours. It is also a way to deepen the quality of the relationship, refine our understanding of their emotions, and enrich the sensitive communication we share with them.
The day will begin with a presentation on Bach Flowers, their origins, principles and specific applications in the animal kingdom. We will explore everything they can offer to help animals achieve greater serenity, ease periods of transition or stress, and support their emotional balance. The limitations of these elixirs will also be clarified so that they can be used respectfully and appropriately.
The workshop will conclude with a practical exercise that will allow everyone to discover Bach Flowers through the creation of a personalised synergy, tailored to the needs of their pet. This approach will provide an opportunity to experience subtle listening to animals while leaving with a concrete tool to integrate into everyday life.
Animal massage is above all an act of affection, respect and kindness towards our companions (dogs, cats, horses, goats, etc.). It contributes to their physical and emotional well-being while strengthening the bond between us and them.
This workshop will teach you how to perform a full or abbreviated massage tailored to healthy dogs (and other animals), whether they are athletic, ageing, or simply seeking relaxation.
The day will begin with a relaxation session to ensure we are fully available for our animals. We will then discuss the essential elements for preparing and conducting a session: favourable conditions, precautions and restrictions.
A review of the basic anatomy of dogs, cats and horses will complement these contributions before moving on to the practical learning of different massage techniques and manoeuvres.
Shiatsu energy massage for relaxation takes classic massage to the next level by incorporating acupressure points along the meridians, based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is intended exclusively for healthy animals. This workshop offers an introduction to this approach, providing an initial overview of shiatsu and TCM. To become a practitioner and perform complete sessions including energy assessment and rebalancing, three years of in-depth training is required at one of the specialised centres in Belgium or France.
The day will begin with an introduction to traditional Chinese medicine to provide a better understanding of what shiatsu is and the benefits it can bring.
We will continue with practical training in acupressure lines that can be incorporated into massage, as well as specific techniques for applying them gently and respectfully.
Unlike humans, our animal companions do not set barriers for themselves and remain very receptive to various energy healing techniques, such as Bach Flower Remedies, shiatsu, or massage. However, they retain their free will and can choose whether or not to accept these treatments. Respect for them means, above all, accepting this choice, while remaining attentive to their needs and consent.
During this day, we will discuss how to prepare to offer this care with kindness, as well as various simple and accessible techniques that can be used even without prior training in energy healing.
We will explore energy and vibrational healing methods adapted to animals, whether they are present or at a distance: magnetism, reiki, pendulum use, chakra rebalancing, and other complementary approaches.
This workshop, which follows on from the introductory workshop on energy healing, will focus exclusively on the use of the pendulum, whether in the context of energy healing or to facilitate the search for missing animals. This subtle technique allows you to refine your perception and guide your interventions with precision.
We will also cover the essential basics of giving a magnetism session in order to best support our companions towards physical, emotional and energetic well-being. For those who have completed the entire training course, practical advice will be offered on how to conduct complete energy sessions, both in person and remotely, in accordance with the appropriate protocols.
Each workshop is a valuable and complementary tool that enriches everyday care practices, but it cannot replace veterinary medicine, professional diagnosis, or medical treatments necessary for the health of our animals.
