Birth and Death - Innovative Approaches In Relational Somatic Psychology
All stages of human development, from gamete to grave, involve the birth of certain characteristics and the death of others. Birth and death are entwined, not only philosophically, but on a body level . By using experiential practices involving our imprinted relationships to beginnings and endings, we can discover and dissolve patterns that limit our aliveness, creativity and passion.

Faculty: Christine Caldwell, Dyrian Benz , July 8 to 13 , 2007.
Reading: Caldwell C. Getting In Touch and Getting Our Bodies Bac

This seminar invokes experiences that will gently uncover imprinted patterns left over from our prenatal and perinatal time. These patterns are stored well below conscious processing and memory, and only make themselves evident in body signals, typically during times of stress or transition. Any patterns laid down in fear or threat will tend to manifest in the adult body as resistance to life, coupled with a fear of death. Healing strategies can take this into account by using the body as the vehicle of conscious attention and as the means of liberation from habituated dysfunctional responses. We will use somatic attentional practices, gentle breathing and moving, self-generated imagery, and prenatal/perinatal myths and metaphors to identify and address our fear of aliveness and our resistances to letting go and feeling complete.
