The 5F Advanced Practitioner: Retreats designed to educate & inspire
The 5FAP is a program of Retreats. Each Retreat focuses on a context-specific Manual Modality. The Retreats are open to all 5F L1 Practitioners. Is this investment pathway right for you?
The 5FAP is for you if:
- You are a 5F Level One Practitioner or ready to become one prior to attending your first Retreat.
- You are a self-initiated lifelong learner passionate about movement as healing.
- You are interested in community, mentorship, and continuing education.
- You are interested in applying the theoretical aspect of spiral anatomy to a system of movement that will augment your current approach.
This training is not for you if:
- You do not love the serenity and focus of a Retreat-style atmosphere.
- You are not prepared to gain your Level 1 Practitioner status prior to investing in a Retreat.
- You are content with the nuts-and-bolts model of classical biomechanics.
- You are attached exclusively to a predefined system of movement.
- You prefer either an entirely passive or entirely active approach to movement therapy.

The Curriculum
The Five Filaments functions as a spiral curriculum (surprise!) where all the constituent modules interact nonlinearly.
The Five Filaments Advanced Practitioner (5FAP) distinction is awarded to Five Filaments Specialists (5FS) with the successful completion of their first Manual Modality Retreat training. It is possible to do this in any order as long as you start with the L1 Practitioner qualification.
The 5FAP Manual Modality Retreats are only available in person.
Module One: Optimal Spiral Motion Assists
Module Two: Optimal Spiral Motion Assists
Module Three: In development
