SEMINAR 1:
In this seminar we’ll start exploring the scope of this training, presenting the different aspects of Zang Fu palpation and function meaningful from a TEAM perspective. We’ll present some specific concepts such as motility (inherent movement) and mobility (movement in response) of the different organs. We’ll tune our palpatory antennas to the quality of the Zang Fu, and continue exploring how their form, localization and function feed and inform one another…. 
We’ll start by introducing the structures of the Abdomen and Thorax. In this first time palpating an organ, we’ll start with the Stomach. As a structure, it is relatively easy to access, as an organ it is the most Yang of all, as for its functions and connections, it is certainly at the Centre. Perfect ambassador to introduce us into this territory…!
We’ll continue with the exploration of the Gut and the Large Intestine -directly related in function to the Stomach.  On the second day, following the thread of the Yin-Yang pairings of the Metal, we’ll start exploring the Lung, and with its delicate yet powerful structure and functions, and it will serve as our entry into the Zang organs.
