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 |

Blood originates in the mesoderm. As a yin tissue, it offers us a sense of grounding and connection with the earth; iron in blood has an affinity with the iron in the center of the earth. Embryologically, development of channels and vessels support the movement of blood which swirls and creates the heart center. The heart resides at the center of spirilic movement, clarity, and rejuvenation. Embryologically, positioning and development of the heart precedes and guides organization of the brain. Development of the thoracic diaphragm and heart are also deeply connected. Coordinating breathing and heart rhythms can lead to deep serenity and One-ness. One intention of cultivating qi is developing relationship to the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of our being. Developmental, movement and embryological principles of Body-Mind Centering© will be applied to simple-to-do qi-movement forms, breathing, and practice. Original embryology illustrations are included with the live course. Curriculum Class 1: Mesoderm. Arising from interplay of endoderm and ectoderm to become extraembryonic mesoderm and intraembryonic mesoderm. Class 2: Primitive Streak. The primitive streak gives rise to the notochord and the foundation of the early heart. Class 3: Blood Islands. Blood islands form in the mesoderm of the connecting stalk and yolk sac. Vacuoles form and coalesce to create channels and early blood vessels. These early vessels have an inherent peripheral pulsation. Class 4: Heart Formation. The heart forms outside of the embryo and draws down into its home in the center of the cathedral of ribs. This is the seat of the middle dantian. Class 5: Thoracic Diaphragm. The heart and thoracic diaphragm are formed of tissues from several origins. Breathing and heart rhythm have an early embryological connection. Class 6: Bone Marrow. Blood is eventually formed in the bone marrow and balances the energy expended in the brain and upper dantian. |
Working with Adults who have Earliest Wounds: A PPN Somatic Perspective
Course starts May 3 Our earliest layers of experience form the roots of health on every level: body, mind and spirit. These earliest experiences include preconception, conception, the prenatal period, birth and after birth. Many practitioners of all kinds now seek to know more about how to work with earliest trauma in adults, especially with the increased awareness of developmental or complex trauma, and in the impact of the Adverse Childhood Experiences study.

Often called early developmental trauma, recognition, reaching and healing ruptures or interruptions in development from this early time are increasingly seen as the cracks in the foundation of human health. Current healing science now includes overwhelming childhood experiences and ancestral patterns; the prenatal and perinatal period is the missing piece. Once the patterns from earliest trauma are recognized, they cannot be unseen. Our challenge is to give the tools of recognition to practitioners of all kinds while laying the groundwork for prevention, which is doable in our world today. We have invited five practicioners who work in the field of prenatal and perinatal somatics to help share with you tools, skils and their approach to helping with adults with earliest wounds. May 3: Kate White - Heal the Roots so the Tree can Thrive: Working with Adults who have Earliest Trauma May 10: Alison Greene-Barton - Welcoming Who You Are from Spirit Form into Physical Form May 17: Anna Chitty - The Transformative Power of Presence May 24: Eileen Sendrey - Touching the Earth: Mind-Body Connection as a Foundation for Somatic Practitioner Skills May 31: Kristin Sipley - Shifting Perspectives: Shining a Light on the Threads of Health June 7: Panel Discussion
