Free Lecture by Klaus Evertz
October 9, 2023 - 3PM EDT A central concern of my aesthetic and therapeutic research is the origin of images. When and where do inner images begin? Prenatal and perinatal research has taught us that all image conceptions and fantasies of mankind can ultimately be traced back to the body experience and body experience history of the individual. The genetic, molecular, and cellular levels of body memory are information carriers of their own history, transitioning smoothly into neural memory patterns that determine later representations of body sensations and feelings in basic patterns. The regression ability of the artists can go into these early and original body memory levels, as we also experience it again and again in therapeutic deep regressive settings with patients. So there are real experiential realities in the intrauterine space that can also be remembered! In my almost 40 years of work in end-of-life care of tumor patients it became noticeable that the greater a prenatal, perinatal or early childhood trauma experience was, or in the family system a transgenerational trauma was unresolved, the more necessary also ideas and fantasies of other worlds became. Patients' inner images of death and an afterlife were always correlatively identifiable with the rescue illusions that had necessarily arisen in the specific traumatic experience of their early biography. Likewise with patients with the ideas that they had lived before. The special structural force of pre- and perinatal traumatizations often hardly allows other ideas than that there must be another life, because the own one seems to be too burdened and hopeless! This emergency reaction is then projected onto the real world instead of being able to classify oneself as an individual link in a long chain of ancestors and descendants. These topics will be differentiated in the lecture, also with the help of case studies. Register at https://tinyurl.com/klaustalk |

NEW Hybrid Class with Jim Feil October 20 - October 22, 2023
This course will engage one of the most powerful and fundamental skills in the therapeutic process, the skill of precise mirroring. Mirroring is one of the best ways to build an effective therapeutic alliance, with its emphasis on the trust and safety that supports a deepening reflective and expressive process. It can help the client develop a new base from which to move again, especially if he/she is experiencing fixed, frozen, or hyperarousal states. Attendees can expect to deepen and extend their perceptual and verbal styles in working with mirroring oriented to the formative sequence of implantation, birth, infancy and early adulthood. The course will consist of lecture, demonstration, and selected small group activities and exercises. The seminar will be held online and in person at Crossings Healing and Wellness in Silver Spring, MD. Free Talk September 18 at 12 noon Eastern! Join Jim Feil for a free talk on "Attunement, Resonance, Mirroring and Rhythm: Fundamental Relational and Resonant Skills in Therapeutic Work.

Listen to Kate on the Field Dynamics Podcast
Kate was a recent guest on the Field Dynamics Podcast where she gives us an overview of pre and perinatal care, her skillset in presence and reading the space between people, and the influence of pioneers in the field Ray Castellino and William Emerson. They discuss the body as memory, and the layers and imprints of pre-conception, pre-natal and birthing trauma. She shares the commonality of the "double bind" and a "stuck place" in life as a result of inherited or birth trauma. Listen to this an much more: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958873/12407389 |
