| Red Flags Workshops | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 9:19 AM, 3 March 2010 NZDT
last edited 10:14 AM, 8 March 2010 NZDT | "Red Flags is a must for every up and coming Kinesiologist. For those without a medical degree, Dr Dewe’s clear and simple guidelines are a great way to ensure that both you and your clients stay safe and get the best possible outcomes in health care."
When working with clients, all kinesiology practitioners need to know how to recognise Red Flags: the various signs and signals that indicate a client should be referred to a medical professional. The ICPKP Red Flags workshop, taught by ICPKP co-founder Dr Bruce Dewe MD, will give you the tools you need to recognise these signs.
Click here for more information on the ICPKP Red Flags workshop.
All Red Flags workshops are open to ICPKP students of any Accredited College who have completed the BKP series. Qualified practitioners of other kinesiology streams (such as Touch For Health, 3-in1, or Edu-K) are also welcome to attend.

| Graduation at Energetic Health Practices | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 4:03 PM, 22 February 2010 NZDT
last edited 4:07 PM, 22 February 2010 NZDT |  On Saturday 6th February 2010, staff and students of Energetic Health Practices came together with friends and family for their graduation and awards night.
 After several years attending workshops, completing homework and sitting practical and oral exams, Sharon Kibur, Angela Corbett and Karen Carty became the first students to graduate from Energetic Health Practices with the International Diploma of Professional Kinesiology Practice.
Also recognised were several students who had achieved the Certificate in Basic Kinesiology Practice (BKP).
College principal, Les Witham, talked briefly about the history of Energetic Health Practices.
She commended her students for their perseverance through all kinds of
circumstances, and voiced her confidence that they were going to be successful,
dedicated PKP Practitioners.
A candle on the main table
was burning all evening to represent the spirit of Energetic Health
Practices and ICPKP. As each Diploma graduate was awarded their certificate
they were invited to take a candle and light it from the main candle so
that they could carry this spirit forward into their own practices and
lives.

last edited 9:27 AM, 8 February 2010 NZDT |  On a recent visit to the International Institute of Kinesiology Australia in Sydney, Dr Bruce Dewe gave an inspiring presentation to future students about the exciting career opportunities in the field of Professional Kinesiology.
He spoke about his extensive research and development of the unique finger moding system which he and his wife Joan developed in the early 1980s. He also shared his vast knowledge of the intricate energetic relationship between the meridian system, associated muscles and organs.
All participants were inspired by his case studies and particularly intrigued by the amazing results achieved with Professional Kinesiology for physical, psychological and spiritual issues. |
| Celebrating 2009 at the Specialized College of Kinesiology South Africa | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 12:41 PM, 13 January 2010 NZDT
last edited 1:16 PM, 13 January 2010 NZDT |   The 2009 first-year students of the Specialised Kinesiology College of South Africa ended the year with a bang! Principal Margie Donde and her students took the time to celebrate the hard work and sharing they had experienced throughout the year. Everyone was invited to bring something to share with the rest of the class – either a gift, a poem, a skill or something of oneself. Margie says,
"We had such a super evening with the students being really creative with what they wanted to share of themselves. Ang showed us her poi skills – fire dancing! Students brought flowers, poems, hand made bookmarks and food. We belly danced, sang, laughed, ate and celebrated our womanhood as only girls can. What a way to end the year.
Margie is very enthusiastic when talking about the class of 2009 and can see a great future ahead for all of them. She says,
"This has been a really special class. They have shown exceptional dedication to their studies, are quite competitive in completing their homework timeously and care deeply for each other. I look forward to helping them to deepen their skills next year."

| ACKM Christmas Party 2009 | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 10:15 AM, 15 December 2009 NZDT
last edited 10:24 AM, 15 December 2009 NZDT |  Arthur Bablis, principal of ACKM, Sydney, says, "It’s that time again when we reflect back on the year, appreciative and grateful for the blessings that have come our way."
He and Sarah Gilmour Mayne decided to let their hair down and celebrate 2009, and thank their students for the journey and the path they have undertaken with them.
As a surprise Arthur organised Dr Bruce Dewe to fly from NZ and pop in as a special guest and spend some casual time with students. Bruce enjoyed meeting students one on one, chatting with them over a glass of wine and hearing about their plans for the future. As always, Bruce’s “pearls of wisdom” certainly inspired many to look forward to spreading their wings, to continue with their studies in the Diploma, start their own businesses helping others be all that they can be, and even take up the challenge by joining ICPKP as future faculty by attending FAC I in Feb 2010.
 
The night was a special one for all and 2009 will certainly be remembered for the wonderful friendships that have been forged and the good times had.
ICPKP would like to wish Students and Faculty of ACKM and all our accredited colleges around the world a very Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year.

| PKP at Leeuwkop Prison | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 1:05 PM, 5 October 2009 NZDT
last edited 1:29 PM, 5 October 2009 NZDT |  In May 2009, ICPKP student Belinda Pestana had the privilege of visiting Leeuwkop Prison, north of Johannesburg, South Africa. She was there to witness the wonderful transformation being worked in the lives of inmates by ICPKP Faculty member, Gabby Fels, principal of SAKPC.
Belinda had attended a lecture by Dr Bruce Dewe at the Australasian College of Kinesiology Mastery in late April and had heard Dr Dewe speak of the amazing work Gabby Fels was doing in South Africa. Coincidentally, Belinda was due to fly to South Africa the following week and took the opportunity to arrange a last-minute meeting with Gabby before flying out.
Belinda says;
"It was so
lovely to meet such a warm and generous person and to hear her story. What struck me was how Gabby's
passion for what she is doing has surpassed so many obstacles... to initially start her work at
Leeuwkop, it's amazing that she didn't give up!"
To Belinda's surprise, Gabby invited her to come to the next prison workshop, an opportunity not to be missed! She was amazed at the wonderful reception they got from staff, guards and inmates alike; clearly everyone recognised the positive difference Gabby's program was making. She was equally amazed that the guards were happy to leave her and Gabby alone with their class. Clearly it was safe enough to do so, further evidence of the effect of PKP and the rapport Gabby had built with her students. Belinda describes the experience:
"When Gabby introduced me to her students, I felt quite overwhelmed by how welcoming they were. I was offered one of the scarce chairs to sit on (there were only about 4 chairs in the room so everyone else was on the floor) and one of the students even offered to give me their manual to use. Gabby had to speak to someone mid-way through the initial roll-call so I enjoyed the privilege of doing this for her while she stepped out of the room... Bearing in mind, I'd only been there literally 5 minutes, there I was alone with all these men, doing roll-call. This told me how much Gabby trusted her students with me and it was really humbling."
On Gabby's return, it was time for class to begin:
"The most memorable part for me was when Gabby demonstrated how to do a meridian massage. Initially she demonstrated on this really huge, muscular guy who was also about 6.3 foot tall! He closed his eyes and was, as I would call it, simply in a 'standing trance'. When she asked him how that felt for him, he said, with so much surprise in his voice, 'that was sooooo relaxing'. I then wondered how long it might have been for him since he had last had the opportunity to feel a moment of peace within himself... and I was struck by how amazing it might have been for him to experience that, even for just one moment, within the prison environment."
For Belinda, this was a life-changing experience. She was able to see first hand the outworking of the Dewe's dream for PKP amongst a group of people who need it most. She says,
"For those few hours at Leeuwkop, I was not sitting with 'hardened criminals'... I was sitting with men in a prison environment who were 'free'... and that is an experience I will remember and treasure for the rest of my life."

| New Premises for Kinesiology Connection (KSA Melbourne) | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 1:32 PM, 10 September 2009 NZST
last edited 4:19 PM, 10 September 2009 NZST |  In May 2009, Kinesiology Connection relocated to their new Melbourne premises. The co-principals, Ed Faust and Rowena Maine, are excited by the growth of their college and are pleased to have a building that can help this growth continue.
The new college comprises two large, airy, fully equipped teaching rooms, several practitioner suites for meeting with clients, a welcoming reception area and other fabulous student facilities. With the help of a Feng Shui Qi Gong master consultant, the college has been aligned energetically for the benefit of students, teachers and clients alike.
Ed Faust says,
  "Our new first year class is excelling and we have had to do a mid year intake due to the demand. In 2010 we will only have one student intake due to the amount of classes we are already providing."
According to Ed Faust,
"Our two admin staff are very popular with clients and students alike, and the new atmosphere which has been created is buzzing. [We] are very proud in being
able to expand the professional availability of ICPKP Kinesiology, both
to potential students and clients, during these challenging economical
times."

| Dr Dewe visits ACKM | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 10:40 AM, 3 September 2009 NZST
last edited 10:42 AM, 3 September 2009 NZST |  On the 8th of August 2009, students at the Australasian College of Kinesiology Mastery in Crows Nest, Sydney had the pleasure of a surprise visit from Dr Bruce Dewe. There were two classes running concurrently at ACKM and both received an hour’s tuition from the master himself.
With the BKP 106 class Dr Dewe taught the history of Finger modes, giving the class a great recount of how, on a Mediterranean antiquities cruise with Kinesiologists Ardis & the late Peter Emmerton of Taree, Australia, that Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe toured churches of Russian Orthodox, Greek Orthodox & the Catholic Traditions and saw the major finger modes in many ancient paintings. They also saw the artisans (hagiographers) making copies of these famous paintings, small wooden blocks (icons) called Romanon.
 In the TFH 2 class, Dr Dewe, Australia's first TFH Instructor Trainer, talked about the Alarm Points, giving the class some great tips on remembering the location of these points. He also shared memories of teaching them in the USA and taking his first TFH class from Dr. John F. Thie, with 250 nurses, in 1977. These students are currently completing classes with Arthur Bablis (Principal of ACKM) and Sarah Gilmour-Mayne (Director of Studies at ACKM). As always, Dr Dewe fuelled the fire of inspiration in the heart of each student. |
| New Zealand kinesiologist, Ken Leins, dies at age 82. | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 9:09 PM, 30 July 2009 NZST
last edited 1:09 PM, 11 August 2009 NZST |  Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe today mourn the passing of their close friend and colleague, Ken Leins. Ken passed away on July 27 2009 aged 82, after a long battle with illness.
Bruce and Joan first met Ken in 1978 when he came to Bruce's surgery as a patient with a shoulder injury that was not healing as fast as he thought it should. Bruce performed some kinesiology balancing and the resulting increase in movement and decrease in discomfort surprised Ken. When Bruce gave him homework to do and no pharmaceuticals Ken was flabbergasted, delighted and even lost for words for a moment or two. A couple of visits later, he was hooked and the retired school master became a kinesiology student, practitioner and friend.
As a Kinesiologist Ken had a major role in working with NZQA to achieve respectability and educational credibility for the profession. He
chaired the NZQA Expert panel and worked with NZQA to write the Unit
Standards.
Ken was the author of the HMR (Hypertonic Muscle Release) series of ICPKP units and co-author of A&P 201.
An avid musician, Ken and and his wife, Faye, brought the gift of music and concerts to their church and the Whitianga community. Ken even wrote music for Kinesiologists; he is known around the world for his composition, “Just a pair of Loving Hands is all you need” that has helped many people realise the power that we all have to love and to serve those around us and to make a positive difference in their lives. Click here to play sample.
Ken’s interest, and activities as a veteran windsurfer are the stuff of legend. He was probably the only kinesiologist in the world whose clinic hours had the byline “wind permitting”.
Ken’s was a life that was well lived; he exemplified the statement that the purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.

| ICPKP Appoints Red Flags Instructor for USA and Canada | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 12:26 PM, 14 April 2009 NZST
last edited 9:01 AM, 15 April 2009 NZST |  ICPKP are pleased to announce the recent appointment of Senior Faculty Member, Ken Campbell, as our first Red Flags Instructor. Ken is a Nurse Practitioner as well as an experienced PKP Practitioner and is the principal of The International College of Healing Arts, in Binghamton, New York.
The city of Binghamton has recently suffered the tragedy of a mass shooting in which 13 people died at the hands of a lone gunman. At the time of the tragedy, Ken was attending a funeral and was then due to travel to New York City to teach the first ever BKP 101 class to be held there. The police lock-down delayed his travel but student-faculty member Erin Davis was able to begin class on his behalf. On his arrival Ken realised that the event would have a serious impact on the class:
"The students were all quite concerned about the situation, and about me, which only took away from their ability to learn...
Erin & I made a conscious choice to use my personal involvement and stress over the 2 situations to the benefit of the class by using myself as a demo for many of the techniques. The objective changes in my mind and body were blinding obvious to the class... and every student in the room clearly saw how quickly and effectively the simple techniques from just BKP 101 released the stress from my being.
I should add that this class has 7 licensed professionals of various professions in it (including an MD, RN, OT, Social work, Acupuncture and Massage) including several who have worked with 9/11 survivors. All of them were absolutely amazed and awestruck at how quickly easily and effectively the ICPKP techniques worked!"
We are excited to have such a skilled and dynamic faculty member step into the Red Flags Instructor role.

| A truly life-changing experience at FAC II | originally by the ICPKP Webmaster 2:02 PM, 10 February 2009 NZDT
last edited 12:55 PM, 17 February 2009 NZDT | A group of Faculty Members has just completed FAC II, the second of three Faculty Admission Courses offered by the ICPKP. Students and practitioners from around the world converged on Auckland, New Zealand, in early February to train with Dr Bruce and Joan Dewe, the founders of PKP, and take the next step in their development as teachers of Professional Kinesiology Practice.
 Over the nine day workshop, attendees covered in depth the material they would soon be teaching, with a strong focus on special teaching strategies developed by Dr and Mrs Dewe over several decades. There were also opportunities for attendees to make presentations to the rest of the class and put into practice what they were learning. Following the workshop, Erin Davis of New York City said,
"It is a privilege to learn and teach the ICPKP material and my knowledge and skills have increased exponentially. My teaching abilities have been refined and I enjoyed learning from presentations done by my peers during the training. I gained many ideas to implement as Student-Faculty in the kinesiology college and in my own kinesiology practice. This is an experience I would absolutely recommend."
On top of the professional development, many attendees found much personal benefit from attending the course. Jeff Haley (Freeville, NY) says,
"I have been inspired, challenged and uplifted. FAC II has been an opportunity to work with other faculty members from around the world, creating an environment of support and growth, allowing space to upgrade performance as an instructor."
