THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS OF DIS-ENTANGLEMENT, SELF-REORGANIZATION AND SELF-FORMING
IN PERSON OR ONLINE *MAY 29TH-JUNE 1ST 2025*
WITH DR. JIM FEIL DC, RPT, BCST
Open to all Craniosacral and somatic practitioners
We live in entanglement. From conception onwards we become entangled with the world, its people and objects in innumerable ways. In one way it can be an experience of great intimacy and joy, in another of great difficulties, challenges and complications.
The body is an organism of movement, a dynamic structure driven into the world by desire, curiosity, interest or ambition, as well as by revulsion, fear or contempt, among many possibilities. Our biological, social and trauma histories are also entangled and complexly layered within us as they shape us. Entanglement is part of how we are embodied, and how we enact ourselves as we search for health, satisfaction, relationship, work, competence, or even transcendence.
This course will use various therapeutic and inquiry approaches in the service of clarifying entanglements and supporting dis-entangling and re-forming. Biodynamic, somatic and formative frameworks will be the foundations for in-class work.
Can be attended in London or online. Online participants are able to participate in all practice sessions, and receive full support. Video recordings will be available for review.
Topics covered will include:
Formative Inquiry Process: Entanglement conditions our actions and behavior. Working with gestures and movements helps clarify and differentiate the ways entanglement can distort our intentions.
Exploring our Embodiment Style: The course will examine the underlying assumptions we have about the actual experience of embodiment. Embodiment is more than grounding or centering practicing, or arousal exercises.
Clarifying Cortical Intent: Methods of accessing unconscious intentions that express themselves through our behavior and often puzzle us or make life complicated.
Examining Perception: Perception is the activity of “bringing the world into focus.” TRhe sensory-motor, conceptual and affective skills that refine and extend our perceptual capability.
Gender and Entanglement: New ways of enacting ourselves.
Reorganizing Practices: Specific ways we can modify dysfunctional habits. Mapping the path toward personal coherence.
