San Mateo Marriott Hotel, San Mateo, California
Thursday, April 8 at 2 pm - Sunday, April 11 at noon, 2010
As Osteopathic Physicians, we are trained to be attentive to other people's anatomy and physiology, but not to our own. One of the goals of this workshops is to provide this experience, a felt sense of many concepts that are usually only experienced while examining or treating another person. There will be lectures, discussions, and visual presentations to accompany movement, breathing, meditation explorations, and hands-on table sessions. This workshop experience can be valuable both as a form of self-treatment, and as a way to develop and deepen the diagnostic and treatment skills used with patients.
Continuum cultivates internal experience through a dynamic meditative process that blends breath, sound, and subtle movements. Discover the deep inner world that is an unending resource for healing and adaptability for yourself, as well as for your patients.
This workshop will utilize the common ground of Continuum Movement and Osteopathy to explore the phenomena of the Primary Respiratory Mechanism. Learning to distinguish the "sensory textures" of bone, membrane, nervous system, fluid, and potency, we will experience the relationship between Primary Respiration & secondary respiration, inquire into our Osteopathic sensory and perceptual development, and have the opportunity to express fluidity, vitality, and the potency of our embodied living process.
In this workshop we will explore the creative potential that is available when combining the principles of Osteopathic Treatment and the practice of Continuum Movement. Osteopathy and Continuum are both based on a philosophy that trusts in the deep wisdom of the body to be self-healing when allowed to fully express and freely organize movement. Stepping outside of our preconceived notions and the popular cultural models of what we think of as "the body" we can discover the deep inner world that is an unending resource for healing, adaptability, and change.
The goals of this course are:
· to develop and deepen perceptual, diagnostic, & treatment skills.
· to explore the phenomena of Primary Respiration experientially.
· to experience in one's own body, what is usually only felt while
treating another person.
· to inquire into the possibility of self-treatment.
