Biodynamics in the cranial field originated in the realizations and deep philosophical insights of the founder of osteopathy, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, and his student and founder of cranial work, Dr. William Garner Sutherland. Both emphasized the existence of a force, inherent and intelligent to each person, that indwells in the fluids and is what does the healing. Sutherland called this force ’the breath of life’. ‘Trust the Tide’ was one of his most frequent sayings. He put special focus on a paradigm shift that asks us to focus on the presence and power of stillness to act as a fulcrum for transformation and healing. Touch of Presence® – BCA stays true to these teachings and deals in a special way with the power of presence, stillness, and orientation to wholeness as health.
The course focuses on developing awareness and presence and supports the inner development and refinement of the practitioner, so that we can be guided by these inherent and intelligent forces towards a direct bodily contact with the ‘breath of life’. In its essence this work is both simple and profound, and based on innate human capacity; through present touch from an inner space of stillness and open-hearted awareness, the healing power of unconditional love and benevolence is transmitted.
This approach is beneficial for any therapeutic modality as well as in daily life. This is an introductory/preparatory course in Touch of Presence® – BCA, which also serves as an orientation and prerequisite for the deeper immersions in the yearlong Touch of Presence® Intensives and Retreats.
We welcome therapists of any touch, movement, somatic or psychotherapeutic approach, and all people, with or without a therapeutic background, who are interested in personal growth and development of consciousness.
