➤; Empower Yourself to Empower the Child: EMBODY. ENVlSlON. ELlClT. EMPOWER.
via NeuroHorizons® Experiential Movement®

Whether child or adult, our brain continually learns, orients, and changes (the process of “neural plasticity”) through movement. So, our attentive and intentional movement is a great way to communicate with the nervous system and enhance our life, every day.

When we learn this for ourselves, we can then translate and transmit key experiences for the child.

A child’s development is a progression of learning through movement and sensation. Children With Special Needs often face an “impasse”: They are missing key experiences that the nervous system needs in order to take a next developmental step.

In the NeuroHorizonsEurope training program you learn how to gently move with the child through and beyond these impasses.

Over our 10 seminars (about 13-14 months) you explore 150+ Experiential Movement® Lessons in depth, including immediate hands-on applications.

Our multi-dimensional yet focused, integrated, and immediately practical curriculum is designed to shift your world, and the world of the child you care for. And more quickly than you might imagine.
➤; "Dance" With Everyday Neural Plasticity: GROW. SERVE. THRlVE.
Gentle Movement Lessons for Everyday Learning, Change
Through NeuroHorizons you learn to leverage the everyday power of neural plasticity.

Over our 10 training Segments you gain a first-hand familiarity with the power of "everyday neural plasticity", and how intentional movement kickstarts the re-mapping process of the brain and nervous system.

By first embodying Experiential Movement for ourselves ("walking our talk"), we can then bring these newly embodied attitudes, skills, and tools into a creative "dance" with the child, using Experiential Movement Lessons to envision and elicit their native learning process.

We become a daily source of key movement "lessons" for the child, as we translate and transmit our own skillful presence.

Then — sometimes rapidly and sometimes incrementally — the child's brain and nervous system receive and assemble the novel kinesthetic experiences we provide.

Developmental gaps and deficits are mitigated or remedied. The child can then natively do, and be, in ways not possible before.
➤; The 10 Segments: The NeuroHorizonsEurope Training comprises 10 convenient 5-day segments in the historic town of Seligenstadt, Germany, for a total of 50 in-class days over about 13-14 months.

There will be modest additional inter-Segment assignments and "homework", mostly involving regular home exploration of the Experiential Movement Lessons as you integrate the work into your daily life.

Upon successful completion, you earn the NeuroHorizonsEurope Personal Service Certificate, and the confidence to work with your own children and family.

At your option, you may then join our Professional Supervision Intensives. These are rich practicums in which you work hands-on with many and diverse Special Needs Children, with Sylvia's close attention and support.

Upon successful completion of at least 12 PSl in-class days, you qualify as a Certified NeuroHorizons® Experiential Movement® Practitioner.

You may then take your new skills into your professional practice and provide much-needed movement and neuro-education services in your community, throughout Europe, and around the world. NOTE: Learn more about the meaning of "certification" at the tab above.

Please Note: Each sequential program Segment builds on the previous Segment(s). So it is important for your learning, as well as for the cohesiveness of our small group, that you are able to commit to attend in person all of the 10 Segments. Please check the seminar dates below for any potential conflicts with your personal calendar.

Please Note: As with all other movement education programs of our genre, these seminars do not offer or grant you any academic recognition, credit or credential, or opportunity for professional / governmental licensure. Nor will your completion of these experiential seminars by itself lead to employment or income in any job or occupation.

➤; Seligenstadt, Germany: All Segments take place in the quiet, historic, and beautiful town of Seligenstadt, Germany — a 20-minute drive from Frankfurt airport.

Nestled along the river Main, this is a wonderful venue for our work. In addition to ample accommodations, restaurants, and shopping, a stroll along the river can be very relaxing :)
➤; Certification & Growing a Clientele: We offer both “Personal Service”
and “Professional” certifications.

Our EU “Personal Service” certification is for those who are content with their personal learning, or who will work primarily with family members. Our “Professional” certification (EU only) is earned after additional practicum experience (more about this below), for those wanting to offer movement education services to the public.

With regard to the EU “Professional” certification:

Please note that neither ours nor any other training program of our genre is able to offer you governmental recognition, licensure, or the promise of any income. Your completion of these programs does not by itself assure employment or earnings. Those of us offering our services to the public as movement educators do so largely “on our own”. You will be solely responsible for your private practice, and for compliance with local laws and regulations covering such services.

Growing a Clientele:

It is tempting to believe that the better the “brand recognition” of a modality, the higher the quality of the work and the more clients will come.

The reality is that the effectiveness of our work primarily depends on the embodied, relational presence of the practitioner. Most parents “shop around” among multiple modalities and practitioners until they find such a skillful practitioner who earns their (and their child's) trust, regardless of that practitioner’s “certification” or branding.

And, the more embodied and relational the practitioner, the better will be a child's outcomes, with more return visits and word-of-mouth referrals by those grateful clients. The most successful practitioners don’t do much advertising at all; the impressed parents and caregivers do it for them.

In short, it is our embodied personal presence, subtlety, vision, and creative and vital relationships with ourselves and with our clients that make all the difference, not the “certification” paper we hang on the wall.

Compare programs for yourself. I believe no other training delivers the attitudes, skills, and tools you learn through the highly personalized, expertly focused and integrated training curriculum offered at NeuroHorizonsEurope.

Please Note: As with other movement education programs of our genre, these seminars do not offer or grant you any academic recognition, credit or credential, or opportunity for professional / governmental licensure. Nor will your completion of these experiential seminars by itself lead to employment or income in any job or occupation.
➤; Tuition: Tuition for each of the 10 five-day Segments is €1.200 (travel, food, and lodging are not included), plus €100 each Segment for materials (lesson guidebooks and videos), for a total program cost of €13.000 (spread over 13-14 months) to earn your NeuroHorizons Personal Service Certificate.

If you join us for the optional practicum work to qualify as a Certified NeuroHorizons® Experiential Movement® Practitioner (a minimum of 12 in-class days, the additional tuition will total about €3.000 over those months.

A further recommendation for the Professional Certification is that you receive 10 movement lessons during the course of the Training from at least three different certified NeuroHorizons, Feldenkrais Method, or Anat Baniel Method practitioners. Your cost for these lessons will vary according to the practitioners you choose to work with.

Please Note: The Training is limited to 16 participants. To register, please be in touch with Sylvia (use the contact form below). I look forward to speaking with you! Upon approval of your application, your deposit will hold your place in the Training.
