Background to Embodiment Practices:
These workshops will focus on giving you a first hand experience of practices and the possibilities that can have a profound influence on health.
Some background theory will also be given.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy:
We will explore a very gentle but effective style of touch-based bodywork that is profoundly influenced by the art of 'non-doing'. This style of bodywork supports the body to recognise safety and return to health.
We will be exploring a number of practical and easy to engage exercises, breaking up into groups to practice what it feels like to listen to the body and witness the responses.

Walking in Nature:
A practical, simple approach to well-being that explores our intimate connections with the natural world to help ground and anchor the body and mind. Supporting the discharge of any undigested life experiences.
Through the awareness of the bodies engagement of movement, sensation, and the interactions that are symbiotic, mindfully walking in nature can restore our vital connections between personal expressions of health and the natural world around us.
This occurs through a felt-sense body-based engagement with nature. A process that lowers cortisol (stress hormones) and supports parasympathetic nervous system activation (relaxes and soothes us).
A possibility for fresh perspectives on life’s challenges may arise when our nervous system and emotions are regulated.
Art Therapy:
In this workshop we'll explore the profound process of creative expression. Where there is an opportunity for non-verbal symbols, images, cues and messages may emerge to support our process of self awareness.
Creativity essentially is a catalyst to sharpen awareness due to the fact that it sits at the edge of our comfort zone, where growth occurs. Our conscious mind draws essential clues to our evolution from this potent source of our being.
Whilst some of us may not 'feel' creative, rest-assured that we are all creative, this process is more about, play, exploration and curiosity.
Meditation:
As a foundation to the entire day we will use a body-based awareness practice to assist us.
Exploring physical sensations helps with:
Grounding awareness: in the present moment. A felt sense of experiences occurring within and around the body gives us a more accurate picture experiences. We begin by internally mapping perception than expand externally.
Regulating the nervous system: by fostering a non-judgmental awareness of internal states, thereby facilitating the gentle release of tension or stored emotional/trauma energy (a shift from reaction to response).
Anchoring: Enables the mind to more easily anchor into body helping to reduce dissociation (disconnection) and supports emotional regulation, and parasympathetic activity.
