Description:
Facilitated Movement tm is a healing modality that encompasses and integrates
several healing entities. The basis for this work is garnered from Brain Therapy
developed by Dr. Barry R. Gillespie. Brain Therapy joins craniosacral therapy
with TMJ-dental and fascial bodywork techniques to allow the brain to move in its
normal inherent motion.  Facilitated Movement integrates craniosacral therapy,
fascial techniques, TMJ-dental, energy work and massage. It is a combination of
modalities that will facilitate the body to heal itself by initiating movement and
thereby release of restrictions in the fascial tissue.

In part 1, healing for the craniosacral system is addressed. The craniosacral
system includes the bones of the skull and vertebrae, the brain and spinal cord,
the cranial and spinal nerves, the meninges or connective tissue coverings and
the cerebrospinal fluid. Restriction in the fascia or connective tissue can place
strain on the craniosacral system resulting in impingement of cranial or spinal
nerves or decreased flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Facilitated Movement helps to
release the restrictions creating balance in the tissues.

On day 1 we will be working on each other. Day 2 we will need dogs to
work with. Please let me know if you can bring a dog so we have enough
dogs for the class to work with.

In part 2, healing for the rest of the body is addressed. Restrictions of the fascia
can have wide ranging effects throughout the body. Fascia or connective tissue
is an interconnected web that attaches the skin to underlying layers, covers
every muscle and organ, lines every body cavity, and creates tendons and
ligaments. Nerves and blood vessels travel through the fascial web to innervate
the body and transfuse it with blood. Due to the interconnectedness of the fascia,
restrictions of the fascia in one area of the body will create a tightness that will
exert a pull on other areas. Facilitated Movement helps to release the restrictions
in the fascia and restore balance to the body.

I am looking for sites to host this 2 part workshop. I would
need a room where a powerpoint projector could be used and
dogs were allowed. There would be a maximum of 10 people.
If anyone is interested, please let me know and I will give you
more details on hosting.
