BIODYNAMIC TOUCH
TOUCHER BIODYNAMIQUE

 Biodynamic Touch is a blend of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Symbolic Language. It is for anyone interested in learning about healing, holding space, enhancing your perceptive skills & your therapeutic posture, and learning about the power of non-invasive touch.

 

Can we explain something that is continuously changing and evolving ? These classes are an immersion and commitment to listen to the intelligence of the field of consciousness in and through our bodies and the field uniting us all. 

​

It is a retreat or a training depending on how you intend to use and apply this wisdom we will gain together. Either way, what makes a good therapist isn't what we think we know but the safety and depth of listening we can hold and this is often a reflection of what our personal journey has taught us.

​

We become. Then we hold a space for others to become who they are. 

​

The importance of the group

​

Each class is a unique field of healing, never to be repeated again, generated according to who feels called to each specific retreat. There is a reason behind why we come together in a specific group and this reason will become apparent through the sessions that will take place and an active part of how the class unfolds. Each module is like a large session unfolding through which we become indissociable parts of the whole and during which our individual symptoms become guidance towards others and those of others becomes pointers of our own. This collective component is indissociable of an individual's health. Sacred space unites our individual trajectories.  

 

Acceptance

​

What is healing ? It is often associated with "changing" what we wish would change: "Wanting something we do not have or removing something we do not wish to have". I suggest a totally different approach, what if healing is a profound acceptance of what is ? Accepting what happened to us and more importantly, accepting where it leads us in our future. 

​

The unknown

 

From my experience, what we think we know always end up collapsing one day or another. Knowledge is useful but will never be more important than our ability to listen. You can spend your whole life adding knowledge only to see it disappear one day like a sand castle on the beach facing an uprising tide. Trying to hold on a sense of self or a body of knowledge as an unchanging truth is bound to fail. We do not know how the universe works, but that doesn't stop us from creating and maintaining a relationship to it, opening a space to hear it communicate with you. There is a language to this unknown and we can all learn it. 

​

Listening posture

​

Listening is an art beyond our known senses and a two way communication based on trust and safety. Letting go of what we know is a prerequisite in letting humility arise, which creates safety - Safety then invites trust - then trust deepens listening - listening opens dialogue beyond language - dialogue leads to understanding and feeling seen - leading to acceptance & compassion. 

​

Boundaries

​

Meeting proper boundaries is another crucial step and our responsibility as a therapist or as a healthy individual within any given relationship. In these classes we will learn how to create a space where true boundaries can be discovered first, then met. A true connection to self starts with a recognition of our own boundaries. There is no healing without true boundaries. Period. It is impossible to connect to someone if their true boundaries isn't recognized and honoured.  

​

Time and Space

​

We'll understand that creating a space is essential to the depth of listening and that temporality emerges of a given space created. It will then become essential to learn the steps required to create space. We will also discover and explore the connection between time and healing space, between the past and the future, and the impact of our calendar upon our awareness and understanding of time. It is vital that the space we hold can transcend the limitation of time and space. 

​

Family Constellation

​

From time to time, the teachings and principles of family constellation will become a guiding principles of a session or could be necessary to understand some principles of healing. Even if it's not a class specifically on family constellation, it is a beautiful addition to it. 

​

​

​

There are 3 levels available and you can see them as 3 exploration upon our Body-Consciousness 

​

 

Level 1 - Sacred Space: Awareness of space

 

I believe the foundation behind any therapies is the relationship between two people. Trust is foundational. Safety is essential. Acceptance is profound. This non-invasive approach is where we meet someone's true boundary.

​

At the core of this level 1 is the refinement of our awareness of space and of our listening posture towards another person. We will learn to listen to the unknown, to adopt a posture of listening to nature, to dialogue with the unknown. We will study and observe the beginning of the development of our embryo and its impact on the present. A body is a sacred space of a soul. By recreating conditions as close to the womb as possible, we give a space where the intelligence of the field can arise and unfold. 

 

Listening starts with healthy boundaries and the integrity of someone's space. We will learn to develop subtle perception of someone's space and the power of finding and respecting our true boundaries. Then we will learn some perceptual and relational skills, anchoring our awareness in the biodynamic approach and learning about healing dynamics or our energetic anatomy. 

​

​​

Level 2 - Inner Space: Awareness of Fluids

 

We enter the inner fluid space, a world where embryonic forces have shaped our body and our relationship to space, others and expectations of who we should become. The inner fluid is where our impression of the world has been shaped by our immediate environment, experiences, and the memories of those who came before us. We will observe how our body has adapted and where we became who we think we are in response to the expectations of this external world. Who would have I become if free to unfold according to my inner dream ?

​

Module 2 brings us on a journey through physiology, integrating within ourselves our own inner space through the ventricular space in the brain and the cerebrospinal fluid. We will learn to apply touch and listen to the fluid of the body, through the mid-tide and long-tide. We will cover the foundational principles of Craniosacral therapy. 

​

Level 3 - As above so below: Awareness of structures

 

In Module 3, the focus is on integration. How do we hold ourselves and stand in our own verticality as a choice of being who we are. We will explore the body's diaphragms & membranes from our feet to the cranium.

 

Integration is at the heart of this module. How to carry inner changes into our everyday lives? 

​

We develop awareness of structures and the language of the body, living anatomy and its symbolism.

​​

​

​

​

​

Each 7-day class begins with grounding and self-listening exercises, with the intention of creating a sacred space for us to explore the intelligence of our body, in order to deepen our quality of presence, listening, and stillness. 

​

All this in a balance of theoretical presentations, practical experiences, group sharing, demonstration sessions, and question and answer periods.

The intimate space created within the group is of primary importance. Spaces are limited to 8-12 students and the group field will be shaped by each of us. Feel into your heart if this is the class for you. Trust your intuition. 

​

This course is designed for anyone interested in healing, whether you are a practitioner or if you take this class for your own personal healing. It is an invitation to gently immerse yourself in the full acceptance of what is !

​

I invite you to join us on this fabulous inner journey.
