ONLINE Study Group: Peripersonal Space
Feb
5
1:00 PM13:00

ONLINE Study Group: Peripersonal Space

The term ‘peripersonal space’ (PPS) was first introduced in 1981 to define the space within an arm and leg’s length from the body that is mapped in structures of the brain called the putamen and tectum. This space is the interface between our bodies and our environment and plays an important role in our ability to find safety. When this space is engaged and online, it works with the electromagnetic heart field and enteric nervous system to create an integrated and flexible network to support the body’s response to its environment, its sense of self, and its connection to present time. 


In this study group, we will explore the neurology of the PPS; learn the anatomy of the tectum, putamen, and multimodal neurons; discuss the impact of trauma on the PPS; and practice Ortho-Bionomy® techniques and principles to work with this area. This course is part of a larger course titled “Repairing Traumatic Injuries to the Biologic and Energetic Sense of Self” developed by Ursula Hofer.


This study group can stand alone, but is best paired with study groups on the Electromagnetic Field of the Heart (February 12) and the Enteric Nervous System (February 19).

ONLINE Study Group: Electromagnetic Field of the Heart
Feb
12
1:00 PM13:00

ONLINE Study Group: Electromagnetic Field of the Heart

The heart is the most powerful generator of electromagnetic energy in the body and has the strongest rhythmic field. When trauma is unresolved, the field of the heart shrinks, develops holes, and can lack in its fullness. These elements can prohibit the heart from feeling safe, alive, and resilient. When the heart field is intact and engaged, it is able to have more compassion and feel more connected in the world. 


In this study group, we will explore our own electromagnetic heart field, understand the heart field’s relationship to the brain and the structures that map the peripersonal space, and learn Ortho-Bionomy® techniques and principles to work with the heart field.  


This study group can stand alone, but is best paired with study groups on the Electromagnetic Field of the Heart (February 12) and the Enteric Nervous System (February 19).

ONLINE Study Group: The Enteric Nervous System
Feb
19
1:00 PM13:00

ONLINE Study Group: The Enteric Nervous System

The enteric nervous system, or gut brain, is a vast network of neurons and glia that controls the gastrointestinal functions on a physiological level and is the body’s truth detector on the energetic level. When the organs of our enteric nervous system are able to communicate with ease, there is resonance and vitality. When the gut is offline, feelings of safety and comfort may be difficult to find. 



In this study group, we will learn basic anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, practice explorations of self care to facilitate awareness and communication in the gut, learn about intestinofugal neurons and how they increase the reflexive capacity of the gut, and practice Ortho-Bionomy® techniques and principles to work with various areas of the enteric nervous system. 

This study group can stand alone, but is best paired with study groups on the Electromagnetic Field of the Heart (February 12) and the Enteric Nervous System (February 19).

to Jun 29

Exploring the Visceral System -- Focus on Digestion -- ASHEVILLE

  • Still Point Wellness (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us for a transformative in-person workshop where we’ll explore the visceral system with a focus on the organs of digestion. This course is designed for Ortho-Bionomy students or practitioners looking to deepen their understanding of how the digestive system influences overall well-being, as well as those interested in learning how gentle, non-invasive techniques can support the body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance.

Through a combination of hands-on techniques, self explorations, and embodied anatomy and physiology, this workshop will offer you practical tools to integrate visceral work into your practice. Whether you're working with clients or exploring your own body, you'll leave with a greater understanding of how the digestive system connects to posture, energy flow, and emotional health.

What to Expect:

  • Hands-On Approaches: Experience and learn how Ortho-Bionomy techniques can be applied directly to the abdominal area to release tension, improve circulation, and support the organs of digestion. We will work with Phases 4, 5, and 6 in relationship to the visceral organs and sphincters. 

  • Self Explorations: Learn gentle embodied explorations to nurture and balance your own visceral health. These practices may support digestive health, reduce stress, and enhance self-awareness.

  • Anatomy & Physiology: Gain a deeper understanding of the digestive organs, including the stomach, intestines, liver, and digestive sphincters, and how they function within the broader context of the body. We’ll explore how visceral health affects the nervous system, fascia, and overall energy flow.

DATES: Saturday — Sunday, June 28-29, 2025

ONLINE Study Group: Phase 5 and The Reflexes

In this study group, we will focus on honing your sensing and listening skills through a Phase 5 connection. A central theme in this course will be learning to perceive the differences between following a repeating pattern of movement in Phase 5 versus facilitating a response or new patterns of awareness through the nervous system. Some of the elements we will cover include: 

  • Increase proprioceptive awareness and comfort in not doing as a Practitioner to allow the wisdom of the client’s body to respond 

  • Recognize right timing of a Phase 5 release and practice the art of being

  • Recognize and explore techniques and resources to come into relationship with tissue that may hold unresolved trauma 

  • Explore each reflex (Rebound, Recoil, Follow-On, Ongoing Action, Regret/Remembered Emotional Response, Ciny Time Zone, Volery, and Space Between the Notes) through developing an awareness of sensing them energetically and physically in our own bodies

  • Discern the options of waiting for a reflex to respond in its right timing and introducing a reflex to elicit a change in a pattern

  • Your specific questions and curiosities

Phase 6 class strengthens and tonifies our sensitivity, awareness, and communication through energetic relationships. Students learn to identify, track, and work with energetic movement and shifts within themselves and the client to find comfort, promote self-correction, and increase natural responses of the whole body. The application of 'not doing' is practiced to enable the client to resource their own self-healing reflexes. We will promote these natural, reflexive responses using concepts of energetic alignment and boundaries, holding space, recognizing patterns and movement of energy, and how attunement on the energetic level can affect the emotional and physical dimensions of the system.

Phase 5 arises as the physical and energetic qualities of the body begin to blend in order for the system to self recognize and develop a deeper capacity to respond. By incorporating a clear sense of right timing and presence, the practitioner learns functional skills to follow a client’s self-corrective movements as the stimulus for change and balance. Expand the layers of perception by honing listening and sensing skills through hands-on techniques and embodying the art of doing nothing.  Students will be able to increase proprioceptive awareness, understand the difference between guiding and following movement, and develop keen listening and observing skills.

Some material that may be covered includes the following: how to structure a session, clarity around starting a practice, discussion around challenging client cases, and clear understanding about communication and boundaries between client and practitioner. Strong support and guidance through the transition of becoming an Ortho-Bionomy practitioner is paramount in these seminars.

ONLINE Study Group: Embodying the Endocrine System

5:00 PM17:00

ONLINE Study Group: Embodying the Endocrine System

One of the wonders of the endocrine system is its ability to support clarity and alignment of the body’s structure when the structure itself might contain disorganization. This system is also adept at increasing flow in the energy centers of the spine and bringing a sense of connection to the groundedness of earth and the spaciousness of the cosmos. Through awareness, touch, and gentle movement, we will explore how the communication in the endocrine system can relate to other body systems and structures and how it may facilitate connection to universal wisdom. 

We will also examine the qualities and characteristics of fifteen endocrine glands and organs, their interrelationships, and how this system can be used to deepen our understanding of the body as a whole. Techniques of integrating these glands and organs through the principles of Ortho-Bionomy® will be offered and can be utilized for self-care or work with clients.

We invite you to explore a deeper understanding of the pelvis, beyond the classic  Phase 4 release techniques. Orienting from our clear container of structure, we will study the pelvic bowl as a whole, experience its spaces and connections, and consider its many relationships. Some of those relationships include the structure of the living pelvis and its connection to the pelvic diaphragm, pubic symphysis, gemelli, obturators, and more. 



Through self-exploration exercises we will bring awareness to the relationship between the thoracic and pelvic diaphragms. We will also learn about specific joints such as the lumbosacral, sacroiliac, sacrococcygeal, and acetabulum/femoral head and their influence on alignment and skeletal integrity. We will incorporate lots of tools in our learning together such as exploration of movement, self care attention, movement and breath exercises, and other sensory motor relationships.

Self Care for Resilience and Ease (In-Person, Nebraska)
Aug
4
9:00 AM09:00

Self Care for Resilience and Ease (In-Person, Nebraska)

As bodyworkers, our self care can easily drop to the bottom of the priority list. We can often feel burn out, overwhelm, and/or resentment creep in when we least expect it. Our capacity for sustainability in our lives and within our career can be enhanced by understanding our relationship to our autonomic nervous system. Practices to help bring awareness and understanding to your unique nervous system to work toward increased vitality and ease will be the focus of this class. 

 

Through the principles of Ortho-Bionomy, we will learn how to recognize and engage the resources within our own bodies using safe, comfortable positioning and gentle movement exercises. This class is excellent for anyone wishing to relieve pain, gain adaptability, and increase ease of movement in the body. 

 

Objective of this course include:

  • Learning options for restorative practices and breath awareness exercises to tone and support the parasympathetic nervous system.

  • Exploring Ortho-Bionomy self care techniques to listen for the body’s natural self-corrective response. 

  • Understanding the anatomy of stress in relation to our enteric nervous system, vagus nerve, and adaptability  of our autonomic nervous system. 

  • Identifying how stress inhabits in the body, ways stress can metabolize, and how ease is sensed physiologically. 

  • Exploring techniques to provide options for movement and choice through the fluid system, support structural integrity and boundaries through the skeletal system, and cultivate space through awareness of energetic relationships.

  • Understanding the physiology of how the systems of our body work together to store and release energy.

ONLINE: The Physical and Energetic Anatomy of a Concussion: The Resilience of our Fluid Systems
May
4
to May 25

ONLINE: The Physical and Energetic Anatomy of a Concussion: The Resilience of our Fluid Systems

New research shows that a single mild head injury can result in a disruption in meningeal lymphatic function.

This class offers a blend of learning from the inside using different approaches like tuning into our own bodies, drawing and tracing.  Learning from the outside we will examine pictures and slides with descriptions of the anatomy and physiology. These slides will also be provided as PDFs. 

Tracking our own experience when looking at pictures or going inside to connect with different structures will give us information about how to work with people after a concussion that could have happened many years ago or recently.

We will study and experience the fluid systems of the whole body: the lymphatic system including brain and spinal cord, glymph, venous (including the portal), arterial systems, cerebrospinal fluid, meninges, ventricles and central canal. We will introduce the thalamus and its role as a sensory and motor relay station, connecting the homunculus map to the different areas of the body. Correlations will be made to the Chapman’s Reflexes.

Self-care exercises will be included. No partner required.

The enteric nervous system, or gut brain, is a vast network of neurons and glia that controls the gastrointestinal functions on a physiological level and is the body’s truth detector on the energetic level. When the organs of our enteric nervous system are able to communicate with ease, there is resonance and vitality. When the gut is offline, feelings of safety and comfort may be difficult to find. 


In this study group, we will learn basic anatomy and physiology of the enteric nervous system, practice explorations of self care to facilitate awareness and communication in the gut, learn about intestinofugal neurons and how they increase the reflexive capacity of the gut, and practice Ortho-Bionomy® techniques and principles to work with various areas of the enteric nervous system. 


This study group can stand alone, and is also enriched with the learnings in the Peripersonal Space and Electromagnetic Field of the Heart Study Groups offered in February and March.
