a great embryology course

[Guest guest]

Since the subject of embryology came up on the group in the last

couple of months, I thought I would let you all know about this

course coming up this fall in New York City. It is given by one of

my mentors in the realm of somatics and movement education, Bonnie

Bainbridge Cohen. Though probably unknown to people in the TCM

community, Bonnie is recognized worldwide by people in the somatics

field as a brilliant theorist and teacher. Her gift really is what

she can show with her movement and through her hands. She creates a

strong resonance when she teaches and is capable of direct

transmission to participants.

 

Bonnie has also been exploring the embodiment of the Bonghan ducts

and might be open to questions about this also. I will be assisting

this workshop so feel free to contact me offline if you have specific

questions. There may be CE credits available.

It is during our embryological development that our body begins

creating its form. As tissues and

structures develop, some remain with us, some are transformed into

other structures and some fade

into the background, no longer existing or recognizable as the

original structure. As with all

development, though the original processes are no longer with us,

they have left us with deep-rooted

patterns and templates that affect our movement, mind and spirit.

 

In exploring the embryological developmental process, we discover the

primal roots of our

structure, perception, respondability and presence. The understanding

and integration of these

aspects of development give us a doorway into:

• inner and outer processes (self and other)

• the embryonic disk and development of the front body (endoderm),

back body (ectoderm)

and middle body (mesoderm)

• development of our central vertical axis (notocord)

• development of the autonomic fluid rhythm

• development of our organs and glands

• development of our fluid system

• development of the autonomic and somatic pathways of our nervous

system

• the ground for cellular unity and cellular breathing

 

This workshop is for movers, dancers, yoga practitioners, and those

from other body-mind

disciplines interested in unraveling the mystery of embryological

development as it relates to

movement, mind and spirit. No prior experience with Body-Mind

Centering® is necessary.
