Introduction to Biodynamic Craniosacral Touch - "The Initiatory Course"

Prerequisites:  None

This class is for health practitioners, therapists, bodyworkers, teachers, cranial practitioners and lay people who wish to begin or further develop an understanding and a practice of noninvasive touch.

Class Description:  In this 3-day class we will explore mutual touch as a way to experience the central healing channel that exists within the body.  We will create a healing space using meditation; explore heart awareness, and what it means to be in tonal match to the one we are touching. This leads to powerful encounters with The Breath of Life (according to biodynamics, the power that forms and heals the body).

The Four Day Class will include...

  • Sitting in Stillness (Meditation)
  • The Enfoldments of Biodynamic Cranial Work ...
  • Cranial Wave, Fluid Tide, Long Tide, & Dynamic Stillness

Family Constellation Workshops
Facilitator: Anne Linden Steele 

Prerequisites:  none

Workshop Description: 

Some things in families are bigger than their members. They puzzle, confuse, connect and separate us. They are felt as clearly as the sunlight through a window and are as difficult to understand as why a bolt of lightning strikes one home and not another. These aspects of family life reach our hearts and often disrupt our lives. They could be called interruptions to the flow of love in family life. They often come seemingly out of nowhere: sudden losses, sudden violence, irrational fears, phobias and rage.

We live what remains unresolved in our families. This movement is a blind and loyal effort to highlight wounds that live below our conscious awareness - and perhaps in the cellular memory of our blood - so the family system might become free to love one another more fully.  When the heart bears too much it closes, that life even in a reduced form might continue. The family system then stores the wound and waits for healing. If it does not arrive, the stored injury is passed down from one generation to the next, always contained and always waiting for resolution. 

Family Constellation facilitators are trained in sensitivity to notice and respond to such generational conditions of overwhelm. The conditions follow patterns and respond to principles of inclusion and right order, of facing what is and turning back to the original overwhelming circumstance.

Family Constellation Work takes place in a group setting. Just one family member need be present. Three levels of participation are offered: representing, constellating and supporting. Participants gain insights and feel new possibilities take hold in each of the three levels.  Family Constellation Work is suited for conditions such as depression, anxiety, phobias, generational illness and relationship difficulties that feel disproportionate to the circumstances of our lives. These conditions can frustrate the flow of life and love in families and often have their origins in events that arrested the hearts of family members who came before us.  The remarkable aspect of Family Constellation work is that once the rejection or exclusion is acknowledged, included or grieved, a spontaneous influx of vitality, reconnection and understanding is felt by all family members, simultaneously. One’s family life is then freer to become generative and gatherings create interest rather than regret.

Bert Hellinger of Germany (www.hellinger.com ) has spent most of his adult life observing families, the ways we love one another and the ways love becomes interrupted. He noticed overriding forces governing family life and noticed further that if these were violated, interruptions to family life would occur.

 

Family Constellation work is done in a group setting. Only one family member need be present.

Cost: $ 75  for evening workshops
