About the Course
This introductory course invites us to explore the subtle currents of existence. We will delve into the guiding principles of craniosacral biodynamics, embodied meditation, somatic movement, resonant touch and energetic attunement.
Orienting to presence, stillness, and wholeness, we will explore inner practices such as embodied felt-sense, tonal match, full body breathing, resting in invisible midline, and residing in neutral.
We will learn how to listen to Primary Respiration and the Breath of Life, sensing tides, fulcrums, stillpoints, subtle rhythms, states of consciousness, and more.
This course will invite you to develop and refine your essential skills for grounding and centering in yourself, creating and maintaining safety and trust with your client, increasing potency in your touch and sensitivity in your awareness.
With dynamic stillness as the guide, we cultivate our capacity to support the body’s innate wisdom of healing in ourselves and in each other.

There is always more to learn simply by being in the field, and no two classes are ever the same.
