2025 Teaching Schedule
Announcing a new series of biodynamically inspired work called Osteopathic Foundations with related undergraduate OsteoBasic courses.
Stillness, Seams, and Segmentation
Osteopathic Foundations
Highlighting and deeply exploring the Long Tide and seams
Elizabeth Caron, D.O.
January 24th to 26th, 2025
Location: Barcelona, Spain
This class will be taught in English with Spanish translation
This course will explore the relationship between the embryologic basis of segmentation, its relationship to Stillness, and how seams are formed. We will define embryologic fields, their significance, and now each segment reflects viscerosomatic relationships and beyond. We will re-explore what an Osteopathic segment is, vertebral, visceral, neuro, muscular and vascular; as well as stepping into the Stillness in the seams and how the embryologic and therapeutic forces emerge from them. Practicals and clinical cases will be used to demonstrate the clinical relevance and the use of these principles. There will also be the use of detailed slides to illustrate the embryotic origins of segmentation and define how the seams are formed.
Suggested prerequisites:
BioBasics, Potency, potency and the fluid in the fluid, Phases 1 through 3 or equivalent, The Brain and the Tide, Basic Cranial Academy, SCTF or international equivalent, Anatomy 101, Anatomy 102
Course Fee: €800
Course Registration: info@fidosteopia.com
Midline and Ignition
Osteopathic Foundations, 4B
Highlighting and deeply exploring Central Stillness and its implications
Elizabeth Caron, D.O.
Dates: January 29th to 31st, 2025
Location: Dijon, France
This class will be taught in English with French translation
We are only as functional as our relationship to midline. It is our orientation to ourselves and our surroundings, and is intricately related to ignition on many levels. The ignition needs to be functioning so the midline can feel the Whole. However, ignition is reciprocal with the midline; they need each other. This relationship of feeding and being fed from the Central Stillness, the ignition, and the Ocean will be explored in interactive lectures and hands on practicals.
In addition, understanding that the midline is a central function rather than an anatomical structure, and how segmentation and function of neuro, visceral, muscular, and vascular elements occur in relation to midline will also be addressed.
Suggested prerequisites:
BioBasics, Potency, potency and the fluid in the fluid, Seams, Stillness & Segmentation, Midline & Ignition, Phases I-IV or equivalent, The Brain and the Tide, Basic Cranial course given by the cranial academy, SCTF or international equivalent, Anatomy 101, Anatomy 201

Anatomy One
OsteoBasics
Elizabeth Caron, D.O.
Dates: March 7th to 11th, 2025
Location: Tokyo School of Osteopathy, Tokyo, Japan
This class will be taught in English with Japanese translation
This is the first in a series of 3 Anatomy courses which are designed for the Osteopathic student studying anatomy from a biodynamic and biokinetic embryologic point of view. Experiential hands on anatomy incorporating some basic movement and Osteopathic methods will be studied.
This is a system based approach, beginning with the bones. Detailed embryology and anatomy will be explored with slides and hands-on practicals.

Tokyo Osteopathic Children's Clinic and Course
Dates: March 14-17, 2025
Location: Tokyo School of Osteopathy, Tokyo, Japan
This class will be taught in English with Japanese translation
This course will explore perception and development which can vary from normal to beautiful diversity. We will examine children with special needs and neurodiversity in relationship to growth and development. The first breath leading to thoracic respiration as an effect of the Ocean will be discussed and the treatment of children with autism & Down syndrome will be explored.
There will be a children's clinic incorporated into this course.

Limbs, Midline, and Motion
Osteopathic Foundations, 6
Skill Level Equivalent to Phase 6
Elizabeth Caron, D.O.
Dates: October 24-27, 2025
Location: Osteopathic Healthcare, Talent, OR
Anticipated 1A NMM-OMM CME credits: 20
The embryologic development of the limbs is the force for growth and development and as well as the forces for healing throughout life. Osteopathic principles from Rollin Becker and Jacque Duval, D.O.s will be explored and we will "dig on" to re-examine basic Osteopathic principles, such as the somato-somato and somato-visceral reflexes and their spinal levels for facilitation. Detailed slides of the embryologic development of the bones and fluid levels with their seams will be presented. This embryological formation will be explored and will guide us in treatment of the extremities.
Exploration of power points and the Stillness in the bones and fluid levels and their center points will be studied as well as treatment of the extremities after severe injury. In addition, assessment and treatment of how do we deal with tissues that have lost their orientation and have a lack of response to the therapeutic process. Practical applications will be given and carefully defining what is a lesioned electrical field in the bone and/or extremity (RTP) will be studied. Furthermore, we will begin to step into the Health and how the perfect and imperfect relate to each other.
We will have the opportunity to participate in movement of the joints in the extremities and how compensatory patterns in the arms and legs can affect the neck and back. Detailed discussion of normal movement of the extremities will be presented so that learned movement patterns do not return and reinjure the area post treatment.
This is a small, intimate class. Maximum participants 18.
Suggested prerequisites:
BioBasics, Potency, potency and the fluid in the fluid, Seams, Stillness and Segmentation, Midline & Ignition, Phases I-IV or equivalent, Osteopathic Foundations 5/Arborization, Seams, and Fluid Fields, The Brain and the Tide, Basic Cranial course given by the Cranial Academy or SCTF or international equivalent, Anatomy 101, Anatomy 102
Osteopathic Foundations will be a series of 10 courses designed to take the practitioner through Osteopathic Principles: biodynamic, biokinetic, the work of Rollin Becker, and motion via stillness. This series is designed for reviewing basic Osteopathic principles, at all levels, and incorporate them into everyday hands-on practice. This form of traditional Osteopathy will include detailed study of anatomy and embryology from the work of Drs Eric Blechschmidt and A.T. Still. Students will come to understand that embryologic movements and the healing forces for growth and development throughout life and how the Ocean and the Tide help incarnate this process.
Dr. Caron was directly mentored by Dr. James Jealous for the last 25 years of his life. She also has been mentored by one of Dr. Rollin Becker's principle students, Jacque Duval, D.O. In addition, she studied with Ann Wales D.O., and extensively with Dr. Hugh Ettinger, a longtime student of Dr. Wales. These are all direct lineages from Dr. William G Sutherland.
Furthermore, Dr. Caron will incorporate her extensive background with movement into the series which comes from her years as a professional modern dancer and a student of multiple movement techniques including Klein, Feldenkrais, and Pilates. These concepts will be incorporated to help support the changes made with Osteopathic treatments. Previous movement and compensatory patterns can inhibit the full incarnation of an Osteopathic treatment. One of the goals in this course series is to address these movement patterns and insure that normal motion is supported with our movement and posture.
This is original work - incorporating biodynamic, biokinetic, traditional Osteopathy, and movement, brings into light the true self unhindered... the emergence of originality.
