Classes, Workshops, and Events
Introduction to Biodynamic Bodywork and Meditation: In this three part workshop we will explore the overlap of philosophies and anatomy and physiology in hinduism, taoism and osteopathy. We will be learning the pathways of the yoga nadis, the central channel of acupuncture, and the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid accessed in craniosacral therapy. Each day will include breathing and meditation practices, lecture, and hands on work. We will use certain holds to sense the subtle flows of energy in others as well as our own bodies. The point is to learn to integrate non invasive touch and deep listening to any form of bodywork, relationship, or activity and create more ability for self healing in your own body. We will also learn skills to strengthen and understand energetic boundaries.
Advanced Biodynamic Bodywork and Meditation: A continuation of the introductory course with deepening emphasis on anatomy, physiology, mutual meditation, and contacts. We will meet four times over a year which will allow time for expanding our knowledge, awareness, and deep listening capacities.
This year long commitment brings about a full embodied practice.
Unwinding the Belly: This two part workshop is based on our book, Unwinding the Belly: Healing with Gentle Touch . We will explore three dimensional breathing, the movement of the diaphragm, and various hands on techniques to contact our internal organs and energetic flow. We will also learn basic qi gong and meditation practices specifically as they apply to your digestive organs and the center of your body. We will work on our own bellies and learn through partner exercises.
