Learning Objectives

The HOLD, FLOW, SLOW framework builds upon the Five Phases model, offering a more streamlined and simplified approach to organising sessions or classes and observing children in action.

Initial responses from individuals to whom I have presented the HOLD, FLOW, SLOW framework demonstrate that it significantly enhances clarity and fosters a more refined comprehension, particularly for those who have prior experience with the Five Phases or any other course taught by Alé Duarte over the period of the last 20 years.

One of the most significant advantages of this innovative programme is the coherent logic and streamlined approach provided by the HOLD, FLOW, SLOW™. By refining the Five Phases model and enhancing its intuitiveness, it becomes effortless to pinpoint where to invest your time and attention when working with a child.

In contrast with our previous course, you'll acquire a more profound understanding of how to observe a child in action, utilising HOLD, FLOW, SLOW™ as a compass for detecting signs of dysregulation and responding fittingly. Furthermore, you'll be equipped with practical tools and tactics for bolstering a child's emotional regulation and overall well-being.

HOLD, FLOW, SLOW™ is ingeniously designed to nurture engaging peer discussions. With its intuitive structure, this approach not only offers straightforward guidance but also assists you in becoming more strategic in your interactions with those around you. Consequently, it enables you to conserve energy whilst expertly facilitating sessions and classes.

Essentials HOLD, FLOW, SLOW™ revolves around engaging live online lectures and practical sessions, delivered via the Zoom platform. These interactive sessions form the cornerstone of the entire course, playing an instrumental role in enhancing your learning experience. We have meticulously designed the course in a modular format, aimed at fostering a robust foundation for cultivating analytical strategies. Our focus is not just on imparting knowledge but also on nurturing a process of scrutinising behavioural patterns and contemplating their implications. While this may appear technical at first glance, you will find that much of it is already familiar territory. Our objective is to illuminate these concepts and bring them to the forefront of your consciousness.

We wholeheartedly urge you to remain committed throughout these foundational stages for an optimal learning experience.

Every week, we shall introduce a fresh subject for discussion, utilising your personal classroom experiences to enhance our discourse. We are of the firm belief that the dynamic atmosphere created by live participation plays a crucial role in the learning process, your involvement, and dedication to the cause. In essence, should you be absent from classes and view the recordings subsequently, you will be deprived of the invaluable learning that occurs in real-time when we come together.

It is often thought that children's workshops predominantly concentrate on theoretical elements, providing activities with restricted practical significance in the professional realm. As a result, I have observed that numerous participants often underestimate the learning process.

Instead of concentrating solely on theory and practice, we recognise that participants possess a fundamental theoretical knowledge, upon which we shall build to cultivate advanced cognitive abilities such as analysis, evaluation, and creation. In this workshop, we shall explore an approach for analysing the unfolding events before us and delivering what is vital for the development of both children and adults.

By attending all seven sessions, each lasting between 2.5 and 3 hours, you will reap the greatest benefits. Furthermore, we highly encourage you to dedicate at least three hours per week to applying your newfound knowledge in your daily routine during the intervals between sessions. This will not only enhance your learning experience but also facilitate the integration of the approach into your life.

Your teacher is Alé Duarte, the founder and creator of Sintonizando, a cutting-edge approach to self-regulation that focuses on the nervous system. Alongside a dedicated team of assistants, Alé will expertly guide you through all the live sessions within this engaging course.

Although the course does not encompass therapeutic counselling, its curriculum incorporates cases as an integral part of the learning process. In fact, we will be examining and learning from case videos.

Yes, upon successful completion of each course, you will receive a certificate of attendance, provided you meet the minimum requirements of attending and participating in at least 80% of the sessions. We understand that life can be unpredictable, so if you are unable to attend a session, we expect you to review the material and recordings from the missed session before the next one begins. This approach ensures a seamless learning experience without any gaps that could diminish the value of your education, as each lesson builds upon the knowledge acquired from previous sessions.

You possess a basic professional understanding in the realm of psychology, education, social work, body-oriented practices, or other associated disciplines.

Please note that this course is tailored towards a professional audience and therefore not specifically recommended for parents at this stage. This workshop focuses on discussing various cases and situations encountered in the professional sphere. It aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills to effectively manage these difficulties from a professional perspective.

A recording of each session will be accessible for viewing afterwards. However, we strongly recommend participating in all classes to fully benefit from this enriching learning experience. We understand that life can be unpredictable, so if you are unable to attend a session, we expect you to review the material and recordings from the missed session before the next one begins.
