SUMMARY:Biodynamic Cranial Approach ~ Touch of Presence® Introductory Course
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Giorgia Milne \nTime: 9AM-6PM (with 90-minute lunch)\nWorkshop Price: $600 for new students / $300 to repeat if registered and paid by Dec 31\, 2025; $650/$325 starting January 1\, 2026\nLocation: Gainesville Retreat Center\nCE Hours: 24 Florida and NCBTMB \n  \nSuggested Reading: \nAn Osteopathic Odyssey by James Jealous\nRadical Wholeness: The Embodied Present and the Ordinary Grace of Being by Philip Shepherd\nEngaging the Movment of Life by Bonnie Gintis\nInterface by R. Paul Lee\nStillness by Charles Ridley \nStudents will need to bring a massage table\, 2 flat sheets\, two pillows\, and a blanket. \nTo Register: Visit https://www.touchofpresence.com/courses-schedule-registration \nClasses will take place at the Gainesville Retreat Center \nThis course is an introduction to the Biodynamic Craniosacral Approach\, which can be offered as a pure hands-on practice\, or incorporated as a primary disposition that integrates and informs any other modality\, as well as daily life. It is followed by a deeper dive opportunity in the form the Intensive Course which spans four 4-day weekends over the course of 1 year. \nThe Biodynamic Cranial Approach Introduction allows students to learn directly through felt-sense-experience by feelingly inhabiting the inner body space.  Rather than focusing on an outside-in model of learning (like focusing on craniosacral anatomy or treatment protocols) this course allows students to learn directly via supervised session exchanges and group discussions.  Embodiment and centering practices lay the foundation for the work\, and the “teaching” comes from the “inside-out” via the students’ direct experiences. \nDuring the Introduction Course students learn to touch from a grounded sense of present awareness in a way that is non-efferent (meaning ‘I don’t leave here to go over there’)\, non-doing (being practice\, not doing practice)\, and in tonal resonance with primary respiration and the natural inherent Health and Wisdom of the body. Great care and emphasis are made to cease all efferent activity and intervention\, encouraging students to stay with the feeling-tone (or felt-sense) of what is\, as it is.  Without the symptom-treatment overlay\, students rest in silence\, stillness\, and their natural state of presence and being to directly access primary respiration in their inner bodies.  This approach & teaching method mirror one of the instructions of Dr. William Sutherland – to “trust the tide”.  By allowing the inherent physiological forces within to guide the sessions and the learning\, the natural world and the Breath of Life begin to reveal themselves. \nThis course is Open to anyone wishing to develop personally or to investigate pursuing a committed professional track.  The Introductory Course is for all health practitioners\, psychotherapists\, movement therapists\, and bodyworkers new to cranial work.  It is required for all craniosacral practitioners or other biodynamic practitioners who wish to learn more about the type of biodynamics we teach before undertaking a committed yearlong study of Biodynamic Cranial Approach ~ Touch of Presence® Intensive. \nThis Introduction Course is the required prerequisite for the Biodynamic Cranial Approach Intensive — the year long immersion in this approach. For more information\, visit the Biodynamic Cranial Approach ~ Touch of Presence® Intensive Certification page. \nGo to https://www.touchofpresence.com/courses-schedule-registration to register\nQuestions?

If you think of massage as a powerful form of healing\, then Lomi must be considered one of the most profound forms of massage. \nWhere Lomi differs from traditional Swedish massage is simple. Lomi works the whole body and not just the individual parts. Lomi looks at the body not just as a group of muscles\, but rather a complete being allowing healing to take place at various levels. \nWith Swedish massage you can guess when it is time to turn over and when the massage is near completion. Traditional massage therapists are taught to work the body from part to part which allows the client to anticipate which part will be worked on next. \nLomi works the whole body in a continuous rhythm of long flowing strokes. The therapist does what is best described as a dance around the entire body. They will then concentrate on an arm\, or a leg\, or the back\, working as deeply as needed\, and then go back to the full body dance. The therapist never really knows what part they will work on next. They are guided by their intuition as well as what your body tells them needs to be worked on. \nThis kind of spontaneous flow is designed to clear the client’s mind and allows them to relax into and receive the work. As important as the physical act of massage is during the session\, the healing that can take place as the work is being done is as important. \nThe best example of what Lomi is intended to do is very simple. Think of yourself as an empty bowl the day you were born. All along your path in life\, the bowl gets full of stones. Those stones show up due to the everyday stress of your life\, your work\, and your relationships. Lomi is designed to bring you to a safe and loving space where you can\, should you choose to\, throw out some of those stones and to come out of the session lighter and with a greater sense of well-being. \nThe Hawaiians think of the body as being a physical\, mental\, emotional\, and spiritual whole. When healing takes place on one level\, then healing will take place on all levels. \nFor more information and workshop schedules and to see a video of our work please go to www.lomimassageamelia.com

SUMMARY:Ortho-Bionomy® Beyond Technique
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Luann Overmyer\nDate: May 10-11\, 2025\nTime: Saturday-Sunday\, 9AM – 6PM\nWorkshop Price: $345 (or $300 if payment is received by April 10\, 2025)\nLocation: Florida School of Massage\nCE Hours: 16 credits FL and NCBTMB  \nTo Register: Visit LuannOvermyer.com \nQuestions? Contact: Email Anne Andrew at Anneandrewslmt25@yahoo.com    \nWorkshop description:\nOrtho-Bionomy is more than the application of technique.  What sets it apart is the indirect gentleness of the work\, the curiosity of the practitioner\, the non-attachment to outcome\, and the recognition of the inherent capacity within each person to self-correct.  In this class we will explore new approaches to assessment\, how to develop our insight to clarify the issues in the tissues\, and to become more proficient at addressing the ongoing patterns that our clients present by adopting a more wholistic perspective.\nThis class offers a model for widening our perceptions for coherent assessment and treatment. Assessment\, observation and information exchange happen at many levels simultaneously because we are sensing organisms. How can we train ourselves to become aware of what we are sensing and begin to discipline our focus to see more clearly the physical\, emotional\, and postural patterns that our clients present.  \nSome Ortho-Bionomy experience is recommended but this class can be useful to anyone in a massage or healthcare practice. \nAbout the Instructor:\nLuann Overmyer LMT has over forty years of experience with Ortho-Bionomy and has trained and taught extensively in the field of body awareness\, structural balance and wellbeing throughout the US\, Australia\, New Zealand\, and other countries throughout the world.  She is the author of the book Ortho-Bionomy A Path to Self-Care which has already been translated into several languages.  \nLuann is an outstanding teacher with an incredible depth of knowledge and experience. Her classes are engaging\, informative\, tremendously practical\, and really\, a lot of fun. You will leave with techniques and skills that you can use immediately.
