Friday :  'Introduction to the Fluid Nervous System'

Regaining the origins of our movement cycles throughout the time in the womb, underwater. will be the focus of this weekend workshop. Motion in water, this buoyant state, where the outside pressure matches our inside space, precedes our experience of gravity. Even our nervous system is still floating in the cranial-sacral fluid in our body.

Feel more alive!

 

Saturday : 'Growing the fluid nervous system' 

Millions of decisions are made before we have a nervous system: the motor of our embryonic development is based on pressure differentials, flow and cellular intelligence which unlocks the genetic tide of our becoming. Regaining the origins of our movement cycles throughout the time in the womb, underwater. will be the focus of this weekend workshop. Motion in water,this buoyant state, where the outside pressure matches our inside space, precedes our experience of gravity. Even our nervous system is still floating in the cranial-sacral fluid in our body.  Rhythms of development, oscillations, tides of our body even now support our awake state of being present in the world, our consciousness.  Join us for a deep dive into this state of embryo,of ocean, flow in motion for a weekend of information and experience of how the Nervous System can balance.

Sunday :  ‘Fascia, Ligaments and Tensegrity’

​

How we interweave our movement and identity between the inner and outer world. Our somatic understanding of fascia is a gateway to understanding self and space as well as self and environment. Not only can we discover aliveness in our tensegrity, our inner guiding strength, we can learn how to connect to the web of community. 

 

We will learn through movement, touch and discussion, how scientific-based information is embodied into experience and somatisation. 

 

This is a movement and touch exploration class based on anatomical research. We will explore how memory is laid out along  fascial lines and literally surf our fascial memories and open ourselves towards new facial shaping to encourage new possibilities in our life.

Christine Cole, RSMT, the founder and director of Somatic Body Training Program, is an expert in the embodiment of human development.

​

On the leading edge of research in somatic movement education & therapy, she displays radical trust in embodied experience, a primary way for groups to co-create knowledge.

 

From 30 years of engaging deeply in learning and teaching Somatic body practices of Body-Mind Centering®, dance/movement and bodywork, Christine embodies the material she has evolved and models a deep understanding of how the body’s systems change in various developmental stages.

 

A teacher of Body-Mind Centering®, and Practitioner of Integrative Acupressure and Infinity Healing, she has taught at the School for Body-Mind Centering® in Amherst and Amsterdam, Holland, and runs her own trainings in Boston, Vermont, Montreal and Northampton, MA.

 

She also maintains a private practice in Developmental Bodywork in downtown Northampton, MA. In addition, Christine has long term practices in Contact Improvisation, Post-Modern and Improvisational Dance, Authentic movement, Improvisational Theatre, writing and vocal training.

As an experienced master teacher, Christine creates safe spaces to explore personal material.

Christine illuminates developmental states through self embodiment through movement and authentically connects each student into the learning process.
She practices somatic therapy with unabashed directness, compassion and presence whilst staking out new territory in the material of

Body-Mind Centering®
