All diploma pathways within de Grunwald Academy include immersive in-person training experiences designed to bring confidence, nuance and deeper precision to the techniques.  Through direct application, refinement, supervision, and embodiment, with the community of students who learnt together online.

These immersions are where theory becomes lived skill.

Across four intensive days, practitioners step out of daily life and into concentrated practice, feedback, treatment exchange, observation, nervous system integration, and deeper professional development.

Whether training within SENI or Spirit Medicine, the immersions are designed to refine and deepen:

 

  • practical skill
  • sensitivity
  • perception
  • attunement
  • precision
  • confidence
  • adaptability
  • theory
  • professional presence
  • cohesion

    This is where the nuances of the work are developed with Natasha and her team there to teach and support every step of the way. The focus is on timing, pacing, pressure, listening, energetic awareness, regulation, and responsiveness that cannot be fully learned online.

What HappeNS DURING THE IMMERSIONS?

Across all immersion trainings, practitioners experience:

Live Practical Training

Bringing together the theory, principles, and practical application of the work so it becomes a powerful amalgamation of instinctive, theoretical and intellectual.

Hands-on application of the methods taught within each diploma pathway, with direct guidance, correction, refinement, and supervision.

Practical & Theoretical Integration*

TRM breathing protocols, functional breathing, and group facilitation with live, in-person feedback

Treatment Exchange & Embodied Learning

Giving and receiving the work directly to deepen understanding through lived experience, not observation alone.

Nervous System & Energetic Awareness

Developing greater sensitivity to structural, emotional, energetic, and neurological responses within sessions.

Clinical Nuance & Adaptability

Learning the subtle adjustments that allow treatments to become more responsive, effective, and client-led.

Group Practice & Feedback

Working closely with fellow practitioners while receiving detailed support and mentoring from Natasha and the teaching team.

Assessment & Professional Development

Practical observation and assessment designed to strengthen confidence, safety, skill, and professional readiness.

*SENI only

Why Immersion Matters

Some dimensions of this work cannot be developed through information alone.

Dependant on the Diploma you have studied the immersions allow practitioners to:

  • Refine touch and perception
  • Develop deeper skill with the wooden tools
  • Strengthen embodied confidence
  • Deepen energetic sensitivity
  • Develop practical instinct
  • Receive live supervision
  • Work with real-time feedback
  • Understand the work through direct experience
  • Cleansing energy with herbs. 
  • Tool cleansing and care

This is where practitioners stop simply learning the theory and begin fully deepening into the power of the vibrational tools to create healing of the spirit and physical pathways. 

THE SETTING

The retreat centre in the Marbella Hills offers the perfect blend of nature, spaciousness and inspiration ensuring professional focus and the ideal learning environment.

Our venue is quiet, private, and designed for deep work, with time built in for integration, rest, and embodied connection.

Between sessions, you’ll have space to recharge, reflect, and connect with fellow practitioners, all within a warm, supportive learning environment.

SENI IMMERSIONS

The SENI immersions focus on Structural Energetic Neuro Integration through practical work with:

  • fascia
  • structural alignment
  • spinal nerve pathways
  • lymphatic movement
  • nervous system regulation
  • vibration
  • fluid dynamics
  • therapeutic breathwork
  • energetic response within the physical body

The emphasis is on precision, sensitivity, integration, and developing the ability to work with the body as an interconnected system. 

SPIRIT MEDICINE IMMERSIONS

The Spirit Medicine immersions work through the relationship between the physical and spirit body.

Each student will be initiated into this Ancient Thai Shamanic practice, respecting the teachings and lineage of this practice.

These trainings develop practical approaches to:

  • energetic perception
  • ritual
  • attunement
  • consciousness
  • practitioner presence
  • energetic clearing
  • spirit-body connection
  • subtle field awareness
  • embodied spiritual practice
  • Healing Mantra & Incantations
  • Rythmn and Depth

The work remains grounded, practical, and directly experiential, focusing on how these layers influence the body, nervous system, behaviour, wellbeing, trauma, pain and human experience as a whole.
