Seminar Summary

The Heart of Flow is a seminar for Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist or anyone in the Craniosacral or Somatic Movement Fields. Located in a nature center, lake front on the grounds of a regenerated wetland, a short walk to the beach.

Delve deep into evolutionary biology of the heart. Billions of years ago, our hearts started to form through the ubiquity of vortex rings in nature. Today they continue their role in the ongoing function of the heart.

Discover the importance of vasomotion. The rhythmic oscillations of blood vessels that regulate circulation. Learn how vasomotion influences the body’s self-regulating mechanisms. Its role in maintaining health. This knowledge will enhance your therapeutic orientation. Insights gained will support your clients’ wellbeing.

Deepen into your relationship with your heart. There will be opportunity to explore somatic movement practices such as Continuum. Connect to the innate wisdom of your body. Foster a deeper felt-sense experience of the Heart. Learn how can this enhance your capacity as a practitioner.

From personal exploration to inter-personal. Connect with the Breath of life and share Biodynamic Craniosacral sessions with colleagues. Various orientations to support clients with the hearts many layers, and to integrate topics learned will be shared.

Can transpersonal experiences foster a sense of unity and interconnectedness with all life? Transpersonal space, its significance in the healing process; and the relational field as sacred space will be discussed.
