Have some downtime…
Work on the art of doing nothing…it might be just what you need! Take a rest, a long walk by the lake, visit with some old friends or new ones that you have just met. Enjoy!
Exchange Work
The Damen Den Exchange Room will be open throughout most of the week, with a few exceptions. It is a big and beautiful room to meet new AT teachers, trainees and old friends to exchange the amazing work we do. Explore how other AT teachers from around the world are teaching the technique or find a space on the floor and do some ‘active rest’.
