Foundations of Touch: Establishing Cellular Dialog
In this foundational class students will identify and experience how essential cellular being and cellular touch can have a profound effect on both their own and their clients’ somatic (bodymind) being. Underlying cellular being is our own cellular breathing which incorporates and unifies the entire bodymind. It provides a grounding in the present and allows our fuller being and possibility to arise.
Simple somatic presence provides the foundation for our relationship with another person and allows the fluid body to come forefront. The gentle and powerful manual practices of sponging and pulsation allow us to drop under the tone of the nervous system and support tissue comfort and hydration at the cellular level.
This class is based largely on principles of Body-Mind Centering® and is aimed to help practitioners refine their somatic presence, manual applications and support somatic intelligence through skilled touch and movement. Participants learn to broaden and apply their touch and presence palettes to the modalities and protocols they already use.
We begin class with simple qigong exercise and continue with demonstration, hands-on and experiential activities. Please bring comfortable, modest clothing.
