About the Training We will introduce to the participants methodical work with the inner core, plenty of work with the release and enjoyment of deep power, as well as the implementation of crucial discoveries from the last twenty years in natural sciences and human sciences. The combination of practical work, deep experience, theoretical understanding of technique and the enlargement of our system of scientific reference will advance your practice and make it more robust. Advanced directions for practice will be suggested. You can follow the class work with our Advanced Manual. This will be a multilingual experience. Teaching will be in English (translations possible into French & German). It is a wonderful opportunity to meet practitioners-colleagues from all over the world. Module 1: Extending and deepening your knowledge and skills The first module (oct 31 - nov 5) is work with the «diaphragms of body balance»: the fontanelles along the cranium, the floor and ceiling of the mouth, the thoracicinlet with first rib, the breathing diaphragm, the external pelvis. When these «diaphragms» are released, they begin to shift spontaneously and rhythmically and freely interact with one another, creating warmth and well-being. The topics include: overview and application of somatic methods, body-language in action, advanced strategies for addressing developmental / maturational needs, unification and integration of polarities, development of consciousness, language and meaning, advanced sessions for working with the core while strengthening the pilot, uncovering one s tasks in life. Module 2: Empowering the Practitioner The second module (april 4-9) also deals with energy and consciousness of the pelvis - pelvic floor and the sexual organs. We learn to open layers of tissue and feeling, while developing healthy limits, helping the client clear away old frustrations and connect with others at the deep intimate level of passion, love and joy. We will explore how the last stages of Jack Painter s Energetic Cycle (e.g. excited breath, orgastic breath, ecstatic breath,...) relate to the tissue work around the deep core. 2
Deepening your Experience and Skills in...... working with stubborn defenses In order to touch the armored core, we need to recognize how the body organizes its defenses, how it forms character patterns of restricted breath, muscular contraction, habitual movement as well as incomplete emotion and thought.to handle the shocks and traumas, all the continuing demands of our lives, we use characteristic attitudes and habits to try to hold ourselves together, to hold on to what we can, to hold ourselves up, hold ourselves deep inside or hold ourselves back. While working with our breath and touching the deepest layers of our tissue, Advanced Postural Integration Practitioners help their clients learn where and how their persistent character armor defends the core and how to let it go. We will in this advanced training also deal with such topics as «relationships are regulators», «the social engagement system», «the inhibition of action syndrome», «The PTSD paradigm», «the inflammation paradigm», «the pre-disease pathways», amongst others...... touching the core In the deep work with the core the advanced practitioner follows the basic segments or "diaphragms of body balance": the fontanelles, the floor and ceiling of the mouth, the thoracicinlet and first rib, the breathing diaphragm, the pelvis and pelvic floor. Some of the deepest work with the core includes release of the core- tissues of the pelvis, which holds many of our strongest feelings and attitudes. A thorough understanding working with develop mental and maturational needs is included. Working with the structures of the core the advanced student learns to help the client open layers of tissue and feelings in a safe and respectful way beyond the initial 10 paradigm sessions. Advanced techniques and strategies will be taught to help the client clear away old frustrations and to connect with self, others and the ultimate at the deep, intimate level of love, joy & fulfillment.... finding harmony and integration Using the advanced somatic methods you will learn in this training, you will learn new ways of helping your clients release their deepest armoring. Yet with the release of these very old habits and attitudes, they also need help finding a new center, help in integrating new found change into their lives. By coordinating tissue, breath and feeling with special somatic strategies, you as practitioner help clients more fully integrate major dimensions of the self, such as their genetic inheritance (sperm-egg), left and right hemisphere, sensorimotor functions, organs that take things in vs. parts of the body, that let things out, masculinefeminine sides. By interacting skillfully with the core, advanced practitioners learn powerful skills to help the top of the body to cooperate with the bottom; right and left to function as a 3
team; front and back to move harmoniously with each other. With the discovery of a new, inner center, energy can then radiate outwardly and inwardly, flowing in waves through all the body diaphragms from bottom to top and in a socially engaged and meaningful manner.... implementing all this into clinical practice While all this work and new strategies are very powerful, we will spend time to discuss casestudies coming from group-members as well as the trainers.
