Residential Conductive Education Holiday Courses for Individuals with Parkinson's


12th -19th May and 16th-23th June 2012

Dear Friend,

It has been my long held dream to be able to offer Conductive Education in a residential retreat setting. To create possibilities for individuals and groups to access Conductive Education programmes within beautiful surroundings that lift people out of their ordinary lives, nourish their senses and nurture their souls while providing the essential consistency which is the heart of the Conductive Education System.

I have been searching for places which are unique and would provide you with a holiday of a lifetime, while strengthening your commitment to your health and wellbeing by utilizing the philosophy and practise of the Pető System.

The villa in which the course will take place sits in its own large grounds with pretty manicured lawns, flowering plants, trees and a 10m x 5m heated swimming pool and heated outside pool terrace.

There is an electronic gate on entrance, space for cars and large pathway to the front entrance.

The villa was re-designed by Robert Dallas four years ago. Robert Dallas designs concentrate on maintaining a traditional Provence feel, whilst ensuring every aspect of modern living is catered for.

This villa is quite simply perfect. Beautifully designed, every possible comfort is provided for--underfloor heating in the outdoor patios, sliding doors that make the most of the glorious Mediterranean weather, outdoor pizza oven and barbeque, and a glorious pool with a poolside shower. For entertainment there is a 42-inch television with Sky Freeview, a home cinema system with sound bar.

A 10-15 minute walk will bring you to St-Paul-de-Vence village with its famous restaurants and art galleries.

The Conductive Education Programme will take place in the mornings and will prepare you to fully enjoy the rest of the day. You will be able to experience the difference in your wellbeing when you start your day as Professor Pető intended when designed the programmes specifically for individuals with Parkinson’s.

I am inviting you to participate and enjoy this programme, but most importantly, use it! In order to attain the wellbeing that you desire and deserve you must wave the philosophy and the practise you will learn during this retreat into the fabric of your everyday life.

So I welcome you to an incredible journey- a journey in which results and emotional rewards go hand in hand.

Warmest Regards,

Judit Szathmáry

Director Szathmáry Training & Consultancy

Senior Conductor, Graduate of the Pető Institute, Budapest.

Closing date for applications: 27th February 2012

'VISIT ANDRÁS PETŐ I do hope that some still do'...

"His ashes reside in a funerary wall just inside the main gate of Farkasréti Temető (Wolf's Meadow Cemetery) in Buda, at

614-es jelű fülkék ("A")

He is at the far right of the wall, half-way up, numbered A/1138:

PROF DR. PETŐ ANDRÁS

1893 – 1967

At one time there seemed always a flower in the little vase on the small ledge before his stone. There was no flower there the last time that I visited.
