Timely announcements 🤓🤩🥰

“The mystery of Being can never be exhausted.
No matter how much it reveals, there is always a greater mystery
and a deeper beauty waiting to disclose itself.” ~A. H. Almaas

A recent participant said it beautifully: “This is the most familiar place I’ve never been.” ~Taylor Rodgers. We continue to be awed, called, and steadied by exquisite depths of presence, immediacy and intimacy amid increasing integrative capacity. These are interesting and important times. Practically speaking, there are crucial registration windows to be aware of now.

The Natural and Divine Worlds

"The natural and divine worlds are a single event expressing life in a profoundly synchronized manner according to a timetable that remains hidden in mystery."

"The evolution of the sensorium and the faith in the Tide is a single event."

"Sometimes the Tide sees us much differently than we do ...
the sequence of prioritization is a mystery."

Quotes from An Osteopathic Odyssey by James Jealous, D.O.

The recent Touch of Presence Retreat in Germany and first week of both the USA and PL Intensives had such special and intimate qualities to them – altogether intense and gentle immediacy of stillness with a distinct feeling that "LOVE's got the room". Simple. Powerful. Sublime. Ineffable.

Czy w terapii naprawdę zawsze chodzi o to, żeby coś naprawić? 🌿
Link do filmu znajdziesz w pierwszym komentarzu 👇

W najnowszym szóstym odcinku SOMA LAND rozmawiamy z Anną Falkiewicz – terapeutką biodynamicznej terapii czaszkowo-krzyżowej, osobą, która sprowadza do Polski kursy Georgii Milne i od lat pracuje z ciałem, obecnością, lękiem, traumą i Zdrowiem przez duże Z.

To rozmowa o tym, że czasami ciało nie potrzebuje popychania.
Nie potrzebuje kolejnej techniki.
Nie potrzebuje presji.

Czasami potrzebuje obecności, ciszy, zaufania i bezpiecznej przestrzeni, w której może samo zacząć wracać do siebie 👐

W tym odcinku rozmawiamy o:

✨ terapii czaszkowo-krzyżowej i biodynamice,
✨ dotyku obecności, czyli Touch of Presence,
✨ pracy z lękiem, depresją i traumą,
✨ tym, dlaczego terapia nie zastępuje psychoterapii ani psychiatrii,
✨ lekach i odpowiedzialnej współpracy z lekarzem,
✨ embryologii i ciele jako żywej całości,
✨ tym, czym jest Zdrowie przez duże Z,
✨ i dlaczego terapeuta bywa bardziej „akuszerem Zdrowia” niż kimś, kto naprawia.

Pada piękne zdanie:

Zdrowie nigdy nie ginie. Jest tylko przykryte doświadczeniami.

To odcinek dla terapeutów, osteopatów, fizjoterapeutów, psychologów, psychoterapeutów i wszystkich osób, które czują, że ciało mówi subtelniej, niż jesteśmy nauczeni słuchać.

Napisz w komentarzu:
czy łatwiej Ci działać i naprawiać, czy zatrzymać się i zaufać temu, co pokazuje ciało? 💬

One week away until the start of the Touch of Presence Retreat in Germany at Pegasus Hof ~ Krummendeich (near Hamburg). We have a great international group AND there's still room for you and guest(s)* to join. Reach out now to register.

*Participants must have already completed an Intro, however, they are welcome to bring guest(s) to share room and board, including meals, and enjoy the opportunity for their own self-styled retreat or use it as a great home base for daily excursions.
