Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST)
BCST is a gentle hands-on treatment which can be profoundly beneficial for a wide range of physical, emotional and psychological health conditions. The biodynamic nature of this work means that it is the clients’ own system that sets the pace, according to its readiness to meet, unfold or release certain patterns. Treatments calm the nervous system, and as a result the body can access its own healing resources, for rejuvenation, repair, reintegration and release of all that is no longer needed. Enhanced levels of vibrancy and health result when the client is ready to unfold their own potential by deepening their sense of embodied awareness. David’s use of respectful and non-forceful touch allows those internal processes, that are ready to be met, to unfold in a safe and nurturing way. Gradually deeply held tensions and patterning are released. This reorganisation within the client’s system allows creativity to flourish and deep insights to occur. This holistic work embraces whatever arises on the physical, psychological and emotional levels, including trauma, from prenatal and birth influences and life experiences in general. The profound influence of BCST promotes embodied awareness and deepened and expanded states. Craniosacral Therapy works at a deep level with your nervous system, and has been found beneficial for a wide range of conditions including:
back pain, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica
migraines
recovery from injuries and accidents
anxiety, depression and PTSD & cPTSD and effects of trauma or shock generally
birth trauma
IBS
autoimmune conditions and Chronic fatigue
support during pregnancy and post natal
menopause & perimenopause

Embodied Movement Meditation

The Embodied Movement and Meditation is offered in groups and on a 1-1 basis. It is informed by decades of David’s personal practice and teacher training in qi gong, tai qi and other movement and meditation practices. Combining biodynamic and biomechanical principles, the movement sessions are a fluid combination of seated, standing and floorwork that are adapted to support various levels of ability and capacity. The meditative movement offered is also based on an understanding of the fluid body dynamics and the potential gained through craniosacral practice. Sound and music may be used in sessions to further assist focus and deepening awareness and relaxation. The effects of treatment and movement sessions are powerful and are mutually enhancing and resourcing. It is for this reason that David encourages participation in embodied movement work to support the developments gained from craniosacral treatments and vice versa. Pricing

Next group sessions at Mountain MoMo formerly Santosa:-

Movement & Sound Alchemy 3.30-4.30 12th & 26th March

This session includes fully guided (no previous experience necessary) flowing movement, qi gong and dao yin, in seated and standing postures to increase fluidity, improve balance, opening structure and fascia, supporting embodied awareness through presence in movement.

This is followed by lying down to relax a deepening sound journey further releasing deeply held patterns, through guided meditation and sound mainly using a large variety of Native American style flutes (tuned to 432hz) and light or source languages.

Presence is fully alive, aware, opening access to deeper, wider states of consciousness, releasing blocked creativity and vitality.

Still some spaces left for Sunday (I think) ✨😊🙏

A couple of places remaining on this Sunday's "Embodying Love" workshop @ Santosa Sanctuary. "This is your invitation to a special heart warming gathering in celebration of Love. With heart-centred practises of yoga, sacred sound and meditative writing, we will be learning to welcome Love into everyday life. These simple yet powerful techniques make space for insight, awareness and hope. In other words, we will be practicing feeling good!

Sound good? Spaces are very limited for this cosy, Valentine’s weekend workshop so book soon to avoid disappointment. Please bring a yoga mat, blanket and cushion if you would like to use your own. There are also plenty at the centre. You’ll also want a notebook and pen, and maybe a water bottle."
