• EMBRYO IN US / JAAP VAN DER WAL

    The aim of this course is to introduce the participants to the great processes and forces of becoming that operate in the human body as necessary conditions for the existence of human individuality. Not only with the intellect, but also with the heart: phenomenology is an approach of experiencing and participation instead of pure thinking and observation. No previous knowledge of embryology is necessary. Presentations will also be interspersed with practical exercises such as drawing shapes and body movements ("eurhythmy" and "anatomical dance"). "The body evolved from us, not us from it" (Rumi).

    17.-20. October 2024

DR. JAAP VAN DER WAL M.D., Ph.D.

This world-renowned four-day webinar can also be attended for the first time with Czech translation. We will explore prenatal human development and how body shaping expresses the basic attributes of human spiritual development. Also, scientific and medical circles have found that understanding embryological forces supports a holistic approach to health care because the same forces that shaped the body are continuously at work throughout life, carrying the blueprint of health into our cells and tissues. This seminar is a great opportunity to hear from a world authority on the modern scientific and spiritual understanding of embryology. It is a journey of discovery open to all.

Attendees will have access to powerpoint slides, supporting films and articles and there will be an opportunity for Q&A via chat each day. This webinar is a great opportunity to hear from a world authority on the modern scientific and spiritual understanding of embryology...it will change how you understand the body, mind and spirit and open up a new space of perceiving your full being in the body

Topics discussed will include:
THE UNFINISHED EMBRYO: where do we come from? Understanding the incarnating embryo/speech embryo/embryo within us.
POLAR EMBRYO: in the beginning/ heaven and earth/ the breath of life between chaos and order/ the first week - organism and wholeness versus cellularity with differentiation and organization/ the double embryo.
THE THIRD EMBRYO: the vegetative embryo - interaction and innateness/ from heaven to earth - individuation and incarnation/ the process of incarnation of the heart/ fascia and blood as dimensions of mediation and innateness/ rhythmic segmentation of the body/ form, rhythm and cycle.
UNIVERSAL EMBRYO: the psychosomatic embryo/ the four modes of being/ the embryology of freedom - man as a balance between heaven and earth/ the developing embryo.

Each participant will receive a link to Dropbox, where they will be able to download additional documents that Jaap will place there as part of the theme until the end of 2024. The Drobox will also host various videos and Jaap's entire PowerPoint presentation. You can download this in advance so that you can use it already during the webinar, for example for your notes.

THE SEMINAR IS INTENDED FOR:
craniosacral therapists, psychotherapists, psychologists, doctors, doulas, midwives, other lecturers and therapists who work with the body, but also anyone who is interested in questions of existence on the vertical plane and interested in how the spirit, the soul enters into form. For all who want to understand life not only with the intellect but also with the heart.

SCHEDULE:
Each day we start at 9am and finish at 6pm, with small breaks during the day and one lunch break (exact time to be agreed, depending on the situation).

Lecturer

Jaap van der Wal

Jaap van der Wal

Anatomist-embryologist and phenomenologist

Jaap van der Wal PhD is a medical doctor and until his retirement in 2012 he was Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Maastricht, The Netherlands. After his medical training in 1973, he specialized in the functional anatomy of the so-called musculoskeletal (or: locomotor) system with (later) emphasis on the architecture of connective tissue and fascia and their role in proprioception. Gradually, he developed into a teacher of philosophy of science and medical anthropology. "My passion, however, was and still is human embryology. The human body is a process that develops and functions over time. The embryo moves and behaves in forms. In this field I came across anthroposophy and Goethe's phenomenological approach. I use the method of dynamic morphology to understand what we actually do as human beings when we are embryos. With respect, I can find in the embryo tentative answers to questions about the meaning of human existence. "After his retirement, he put all his energy into Embryo in Motion, a global project to teach Embryosophy. He now teaches his 'Embryosophy' in Europe and the USA in institutes for cranio-sacral therapy, osteopathy, polarity therapy, but also prenatal psychology and trauma therapy, etc.
