Course overview:

This course will explore the Wholeness of Body, Mind and Spirit with the latest neuroscience on consciousness, interoception, stress resilience and wellbeing, with an Osteopathic Biodynamic View.

Following recent journeys in the remote outback of Australia, while travelling through the ever-changing landscapes that have been shaped by rivers, seas, sun, wind and invisible forces over millions of years, one starts to sense an Invisible River of Life shaping life and form.

This Great River of Life has been used as a metaphor in many cultures and in Osteopathy.  Dr Still referred to this in his book, Philosophy of Osteopathy

‘He who is able to reason will see that this great river of life must be tapped and the withering field irrigated at once, or the harvest of health be forever lost’ (Still, 1899)

This interactive practical postgraduate course will explore:

  • A perceptual journey of the different aspects of the mind, and their effect on the physiology and treatment outcomes
  • How the body, mind and spirit, sense and respond to the River of Life in Wholeness
  • What Dr Still meant by his metaphor ‘irrigating the withering fields’ in the light of the latest scientific research.
  • Breathing, interoception, exteroception and River of Life
  • Neuroception and the effects on mental health from psycho-social chronic stress and elevated allostatic load- Osteopathic contribution to assist patients.
  • Relevance of stress response mediated by bones and multifactorial dynamic pathways involved.
  • Growth and development – the adolescent brain. Its relevance in communication and treatment
  • The source of Power for therapeutic change
