What are Study Groups?
Study groups are small-group gatherings of an Instructor and students to answer questions about specific Ortho-Bionomy techniques, how we work with various conditions and how to address the issues that come up in practising with clients.
Typically a study group would be a 3-hour meeting in person. But time and geographical location makes that very challenging. For 3 years now I've been running 1 1/2 hour study groups online which means anyone can attend from any part of the world as long as you're connected to the internet. I shortened the meeting time to 1 1/2 hours because sitting in front of a computer for 3 hours can be very difficult. So that means that you will need to attend 2 Online Study Groups to fulfill the requirement for one 3-hour study group.
Who can attend?
Anyone who has attended at least one Ortho-Bionomy course is welcome to join us. And you can participate even if you're not in the practitioner training program. The purpose is to come together to delve more deeply into the practical and clinical issues that come up when doing this work.
How does it work?
After you register from the Online Study Groups section of my website you will receive an email confirmation by the next business day with a link which will allow you to log into the meeting shortly before the start. Then a few minutes before the meeting starts you will click on the link and an applet from the online meeting service GoToMeeting will download, log you in and you'll be entered into the live meeting with everyone else. Full details of the log in and online process are included in your registration confirmation email.
What equipment do I need?
A computer, tablet or smart phone attached to the internet; headphones are helpful. Questions during the study group are communicated by the "Chat" function of the GoToMeeting user interface.
How much does an Online Study Group Cost?
The Online Study Groups cost AUD $35 each
How do I get credit for the practitioner programs?
After the study group is done you will receive a certificate of completion, a download of the slides and a link and password for the recording shortly after. Keep your certificates and the information can transferred to the Practitioner Program Record by any Instructor. If you are unable to attend the study group live you will need to complete a short quiz as proof of your learning and a certificate will be forwarded to you after the results have been received. (NOTE: Because of the requirements outlined by the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International, US residents will not have the option of getting credit unless you attend the study group live.)
