Intergenerational patterns of experience in biodynamic craniosacral therapy

Humans are adaptive. They respond to their experiences so that they can survive. Experiences of our ancestors are handed down through the body largely through genetic coding, which can result in helpful survival responses but also in patterns that can hinder our full expression of health.

This four-day workshop will explore the theory and science of transgenerational trauma through the work of trauma-informed researchers such as Rachel Yehuda, Karen Treisman, Dan Siegel, and Gabor Mate. We will spend time experiencing how it might feel to thrive and flourish beyond the patterns of ancestral trauma, as well as appreciating the generational patterns that have allowed us to thrive. We will examine how these principles can be helpful in our clinical practice and the idea that in the field of epigenetics genes can be turned on or off. They can be expressed differently through changes in our environment and behaviour.

As part of the learning experience we will explore our connection to the land and our ancestral roots therein. How does the land hold some of these transgenerational patterns for us and how can it help us heal? How can our environment support our healing and how can our experience support our environment?

This workshop will be facilitated by Jane Shaw and Grainne Delaney.
