Through lecture, discussion, contemplation, and hands-on osteopathic treatment we will explore various landscapes of healing to build deeper relationships with the presence of the Creative and Healing forces of the Tide in ourselves and, through treatment, within our patients. There will be a focus on both our individual and collective healing as a means toward nurturing a more deeply bonded community.
