Chairwork (online)

This workshop aims to help participants become more effective in applying the chair technique. There will also be attention given to variations in the use of chairs that have not yet—or barely—been addressed in previous courses. All in all, this two-day workshop will significantly enrich your knowledge and skills in working with the chair technique.

The full program will be published soon.
