Leading Edge Somatic Skills Study Group

​
What is a "Leading Edge"?  Simply put, the "leading edge" is a term coined by Ray Castellino that means a primary therapeutic window for healing and repatterning imprints that are overwhelming, and running unconsciously in our lives. While working in our leading edge, we can bridge and integrate the energy that has been frozen or encapsulated in our bodies with the skills of presence, conscious awareness and the bodily, felt sense.  You can learn to recognize your leading edge, and gain skills and practice to change the pattern!  You can choose a new way.  Come learn!

Womb Surround Process Workshop
​Somatic Education and Prenatal and Perinatal Imprints

with Kate White, MA, LMT, RCST
®, CEIM, SEP and Maggie McIlvaine
​
This is a small group workshop is based on the work of Ray Castellino, DC (retired), RPP, RCST®.  He originally trained a chiropractor, and then was influenced by formative teachers in the field of energy therapy, bodywork and trauma resolution, including Randolph Stone (founder of Polarity Therapy), Peter Levine (founder of Somatic Experiencing), Franklyn Sills (Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Pioneer), and William Emerson (pioneer in prenatal and perinatal psychology).  His work is also highly informed by his training as a musician and music teacher.  Castellino is a master of sensing into the patterns that can arise from difficulties from the prenatal and perinatal period.  He developed a training for a specific form where professionals could learn about the many patterns that can be generally associated with historical trauma, conception, prenatally,  birth and attachment in the postpartum period.  His observations, somatic skills, and passion for healing early overwhelming events in the nervous system of the families he was seeing came about after he started treating babies.  Seeing how families' experiences affected the baby, he began to work with small groups to create a therapy that would help the whole family.  The training he still offers creates practitioners in this field.  This small group workshop is the product of the training and form he developed. It is ideal for creating a safe container and experiential exploring prenatal and perinatal somatic patterns and your own early history, especially finding places where there is coherency, or health in the nervous system.  Using your adult presence, the group consciously creates the blueprint in human development, one of flow, connection, and safety.  We offer:
  • Whole body learning
  • Experiential interpersonal neurobiology
  • Embodiment practices to access blueprint in the body
  • Tools to improve your educational efforts in prenatal and perinatal somatic health
  • Didactic debriefing for each pattern for integration and understanding
  • Further resources for learning provided upon request

By listening intently and offering gentle feedback, Kate reminded me how miraculous it was that I was creating another human. She helped empower me as a woman. I left feeling better all over – inside and out!
