Cost: Varies by location Call SYNERGY at 859-525-5000, to pay by credit card or mail your check to: SYNERGY @ 7413 US Hwy 42, Suite 3, Florence, KY 41042.  Introduction to Biodynamic Craniosacral Touch - "The Initiatory Course" Prerequisites: None This class is for health practitioners, therapists, bodyworkers, teachers, cranial practitioners and lay people who wish to begin or further develop an understanding and a practice of noninvasive touch. Class Description: In this 3-day class we will explore mutual touch as a way to experience the central healing channel that exists within the body. We will create a healing space using meditation; explore heart awareness, and what it means to be in tonal match to the one we are touching. This leads to powerful encounters with The Breath of Life (according to biodynamics, the power that forms and heals the body). This course is designed so you can gently immerse yourself in and develop a living, intimate touch that connects you and your client to the Breath of Life, without applying any outside force or intention.
Cost: $600. This class is a requirement for the year long advanced mentorship program, based on the work and writings of Charles Ridley, author of STILLNESS: Biodynamic Cranial Practice and The Evolution of Consciousness. You may take this class without a commitment to take the mentoring. Call SYNERGY at 859-525-5000 for questions or to pay by credit card or mail your check to: SYNERGY @ 7413 US Hwy 42, Suite 3, Florence, KY 41042. Top of page Class Description: This is a year long mentor course exploring how direct contact with the Breath of Life evolves your consciousness. We use meditaion, presence, verbal sharing, and hands on contact to access and navigate the field of biodynamics and our place within it. The course is open to any practitioner who has completed the 4-day or the 3-day Initiatory Intro Class. This class offers students the opportunity to learn about and experience the biodynamic enfoldments, cranial wave, fluid tide, long tide, dynamic stillness, and how to be with the enfoldments with awareness. An initial interview may be requested. You may read more or contact one of us to discuss more details. Class Description: This training is offered in several formats...from 4 week classes to 8 week classes designed to guide you into a comfortable, doable mindfulness practice including daily meditation...leading you into The Art of Living Mindfully.
Meditation Can Change Your Brain Structure In Just 8 Weeks Participating in an 8-week meditation program appears to make measurable changes in brain regions associated with memory, sense of self, empathy and stress. In a study that appeared in the January 30 issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, a team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers were the first to document that meditation produced changes over time in the brain's grey matter. Mindfulness meditation and exercises focus on non-judgmental awareness of sensations, feelings and state of mind. The MGH study participants, who practiced mindfulness meditation and/or mindfulness exercises for an average of 27 minutes a day, were found to have increased grey-matter density in the hippocampus, important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion and introspection. Those same study participants also reported reductions in stress which the researchers correlated with decreased grey-matter density in the amygdala, which is known to play an important role in anxiety and stress. "Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day," says Sara Lazar, PhD, of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program, the study's senior author. "This study demonstrates that changes in brain structure may underlie some of these reported improvements and that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time relaxing."

Family Constellation Workshops Prerequisites: none Workshop Description: Some things in families are bigger than their members. They puzzle, confuse, connect and separate us. They are felt as clearly as the sunlight through a window and are as difficult to understand as why a bolt of lightning strikes one home and not another. These aspects of family life reach our hearts and often disrupt our lives. They could be called interruptions to the flow of love in family life. They often come seemingly out of nowhere: sudden losses, sudden violence, irrational fears, phobias and rage. We live what remains unresolved in our families. This movement is a blind and loyal effort to highlight wounds that live below our conscious awareness - and perhaps in the cellular memory of our blood - so the family system might become free to love one another more fully. When the heart bears too much it closes, that life even in a reduced form might continue. The family system then stores the wound and waits for healing. If it does not arrive, the stored injury is passed down from one generation to the next, always contained and always waiting for resolution. Family Constellation facilitators are trained in sensitivity to notice and respond to such generational conditions of overwhelm. The conditions follow patterns and respond to principles of inclusion and right order, of facing what is and turning back to the original overwhelming circumstance. Family Constellation Work takes place in a group setting. Just one family member need be present. Three levels of participation are offered: representing, constellating and supporting. Participants gain insights and feel new possibilities take hold in each of the three levels. Family Constellation Work is suited for conditions such as depression, anxiety, phobias, generational illness and relationship difficulties that feel disproportionate to the circumstances of our lives. These conditions can frustrate the flow of life and love in families and often have their origins in events that arrested the hearts of family members who came before us. The remarkable aspect of Family Constellation work is that once the rejection or exclusion is acknowledged, included or grieved, a spontaneous influx of vitality, reconnection and understanding is felt by all family members, simultaneously. One’s family life is then freer to become generative and gatherings create interest rather than regret. Bert Hellinger of Germany (www.hellinger.com ) has spent most of his adult life observing families, the ways we love one another and the ways love becomes interrupted. He noticed overriding forces governing family life and noticed further that if these were violated, interruptions to family life would occur.
Family Constellation work is done in a group setting. Only one family member need be present. Anne may be reached through her wesite www.annelindensteele.com Cost: Varies Pre-registration required
