Biodynamic Touch

2nd segment - SENSATION & PERCEPTION

Sensation and Perception : Enlivening the Realms of Biodynamic Touch

In this course we will revisit the groundwork laid in the previous course and build upon the foundation created.

Refinement of ones ability to tend to the interface within oneself and in relationship with another is continued. New considerations will highlight how ones perception of sensations are influenced by the relational landscape. Opportunity will be provided to investigate and strengthens ones ability to sense and perceive what is presenting during the therapeutic process.

Treatment skills are enhanced by engaging with the movement at stillness that presents at various listening stations in the body (ie: bones, muscles, blood vessels, fascia etc.)

In this practice we cultivate our ability to tend to areas of inertia in the living system to support resolution and freedom of flow of the life force to promote symptom relief.

Foundational skills are enhanced to support the strengthening of the neutral observer who’s role is to witness what is presented moment to moment and in so doing provide resource for life affirming change that transpires during the healing process.

All participants will receive several hours of treatment during this course.
We recommend that participants allow themselves time to integrate in the evening after class and the days that follow the completion of the workshop.  Extra quiet time to rest and digest the experience in the days that follow is encouraged.

  • Magical

    I truly enjoyed the essence of sacred space you created, the relaxed way you taught and attuned with your easy trust in the organic unfolding process and the intuitive way you have of guiding adequate timing for topics, the patience for processing and the sense of when to take breaks. I was able to receive downloads clearly and easily and felt a strong sense of trust in being able to discuss whatever came up along the way. Thank you!

  • Structure & Flow

    I found it very well planned. All topics seemed to fluently build upon each other through the course of the day. There was a seamless flow of transitions between information taught, allowance for processing, discussions and adequate timing for breaks to ground and re-energize. Nicely orchestrated!

  • Professionalism & Flow

    The instruction was very thorough & Stacy always checked in about how I was feeling and if I had questions. All the information was very clear & the format flowed well from section to section.

  • Experience as a whole

    I felt very ready to receive this knowledge & although it seemed like a lot of information to take in it felt very natural to practice it & in no way was overwhelming. I’m eager to now practice more and share with others.

  • Significant Moments

    Honestly I think just connecting with other people in this world is the best, most significant part for me. It served as a reminder how important touch is, as well as being deeply seen and heard.

  • Gratitude

    Thank you for the depth of your lessons, attention & guidance. I’m so grateful for this experience. And I had so much fun! :)

  • Take aways to apply in daily life

    Trusting myself more and moving toward the quiet within myself and others.
