“To touch is to be touched”
When working within the relational field our Presence is a vital component that influence the work being done within the therapeutic setting.

This course provides opportunity for those who are in service to others to serve themselves by tending to their inner landscape. The practices we will engage in will offer opportunity to build upon the inner wisdom that resides within the core of every human being. We will be given a chance to touch upon the inner strength and resilience that is present within the compassionate witness.

The work we do together in the immersive field of our diverse commonality will nourish the united heart-soul. Each individual adds to our collective story. This course is created with YOU in mind.
The study and practice of Biodynamic Touch serves as a powerful tool to promote homeostasis and encourages compassionate connection. Both of which enhance the skills of the professional and serves as an invaluable support for achieving and maintaining personal well-being.
Biodynamic Touch is beneficial for healthcare practitioners such as craniosacral practitioners, massage therapists, Reiki practitioners, nurses, ND's, MD's, physical therapists, yoga teachers, acupuncturists, psychologists, social workers, psil*cybin facilitators etc. to apply in their area of expertise.
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. You will likely want extra quiet time to rest and renew.
