Family Workshops
Family workshops are designed for couples ready to start a family, for individuals working on family issues, and for parents. They are small and fun, and provide tools to raise healthy, thriving children and build strong families. Family workshops are kept small to allow for depth and intimacy, and to allow the material to be tailored to each participant's unique needs. Each workshop is hands-on, giving all participants a chance to work with their own healing processes, while supporting others. In the workshops, all personal situations and issues are kept within the circle.
Family workshops are also valuable for practitioners who are beginning to center their work on children & family systems.
Each workshop or presentation can be tailored in length to individual groups. Please contact us at Origin Forces for further details and to schedule a workshop or speaker.

This workshop will give you tools that you can use to give your family freedom from these patterns now.
- How stress and trauma are passed through the womb

Professional Workshops
The professional workshops are designed for practitioners who want to create a Biodynamic practice or integrate Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy into existing practices. The classes are kept small (14 participants- maximum) so that the learning can be personalized and profound for each student.
The teaching includes use of lecture, slides, demo's, meditation, and lots of hands-on work. Biodynamic work is a multidiscipline field, (using research from Daniel Siegal, Alan Shore, and Peter Levine, as well as Indigenous perspectives and more) and gives a wide as well as deep perspective to healing that is profound and effective.
Students who want to continue through all three levels are asked to practice between workshop sessions. Reading lists are provided.
1. Breathe of Life: Paradigm Shift In Craniosacral Therapy
This four-day intensive workshop will brings cranial practitioners as well as those new to the field to a new understanding of the work, and a new level of being able to help their clients. The shift to Craniosacral therapy is profound, with an orientation to the fluid forces found in the embryo. The biodynamic therapy model is a compliment to all other healing modalities.
- Using Primary Respiration as a guide for health
- Finding neutrality and stillness to come into contact with the fluid movement of the soma

- Table work and somatic meditations

2. Shock and Trauma in the Cranial System
This four-day intensive workshop gives practitioners skills to identify shock and trauma in the Biodynamic System and restore the fluids to balance. Deep listening and recognition of the body's patterns for protection, passed down through the generations, are paramount to our understanding. All work is done in the tempo of Primary Respiration, so prior experience is required. (Breath of Life class above or other training)
- Physiology and psychology of shock and trauma release through the potency body
- Dialogue skills for shock and trauma clients
- Working with complimentary theories of affective neuroscience, and perinatal psychology, and attachment theory
- Table work and somatic meditations

3. Resources and Healing in the Biodynamic Cranial Model
This four-day intensive workshop gives practitioners advanced skills in working with clients. The term "resources" in the Biodynamic model refers to the ability to feel safe and cared for, both as a felt sense in the body and as a psychological perception. Resources are lost completely or greatly diminished as an effect of trauma and shock. A sense of safety allows for cellular growth, mental flexibility, and physical freedom. Learn how to access the original forces of health in your client's body, found in the fluid imprints of the embryo.
- Understand the midline with table work and somatic meditations
- Create a resource book, and new set of dialogue skills
- Working with complementary theories of affective neuroscience, and perinatal psychology, and attachment theory
- Deepening into still points
