The Magic of the Tides
Working with Biodynamics and Quantum Coherence in Somatic Landscapes
with Joseph Saine, LMT, RCST®
In this series of 7 classes for somatic seekers, we will explore the deeper foundations of Biodynamic Bodywork through somatic listening, deep ecology, multidimensional anatomy, and the new scientific understanding of water.
Biodynamics as embodied in Craniosacral and Visceral Therapeutics work with the coherence of the fluid body where physical and energetic patterns meet.
Through evolutionary consciousness, science and healing we are invited to explore an emergent Biodynamic landscape which offers grounded processes of somatic inquiry and tangible skills for working with the challenges of Earth existence.
This class offering is a supportive Alchemical Alignment container for beginners and experienced practitioners alike to deepen relationship with the tidal enfoldments of natural intelligence.
You are kindly invited to join us in listening with the polyrhythmic expression of embodied reality as we center the undersea creature within and learn to understand the living coherence of water as the mediator of vitality and cosmic respiration.
The curriculum will cover some of the basic theory and practice of Biodynamic Bodywork (including Craniosacral & Visceral approaches).
We will focus on deepening relationship with the tides within our own experiences and beginning to hold a space for the tides moving through the experiences of our clients.
Some of the topics covered include:
History and Evolutionary Theory of Biodynamics in the context of Osteopathic Bodywork.
Ancient ways of understanding the intricacies of nature through Indigenous Ecology & Musical Languages.
New scientific understandings of the intelligence of water embodied in human form.
Fluid resonance in the body as expressed through Biodynamic Tides.
Specific Anatomical Landmarks and Fulcrums to work with in a Biodynamic context.
Beginning understanding of Biodynamic Embryology and how it relates to bodywork.
Inertial Fulcrums (imprints) within a Biodynamic Context and how to work with them for transformation and healing.
Skills for allowing the coherence of the tides to do more of the healing for you in professional sessions.
This course could be taken as a stand-alone or works well as an adjunct to Alchemical Alignment courses, especially for those who would like to deepen into the Biodynamic basis of our work.
Classes are recorded, participants will receive limited time access to recordings.
What people are saying:
“Joseph is an amazing, humble human, whose youthful curiosity, extensive education, obvious skill from practice, and ageless wisdom blend into a fabulous mix for teaching healing somatic work.”
