Biodynamics is about life, in all its dynamism and depth. In this course we will explore the principles the reliable and accessible principles that can support both client and practitioner to know themselves more deeply. Our exploration will be embodied and thoughtful, full of opportunities for insight, discovery and healing. What is important for practitioners of all modalities to learn is how to create the conditions for healing to occur. This course will travel that road well and you will gain tools that you can apply effectively in both personal and professional situations.

Did you know that the forces that can facilitate healing are the same forces that shaped you in your earliest days? Did you know that those forces are still actively shaping you right now? This knowing is at the core of Biodynamic understanding. Practitioners who can embody this knowing are able to facilitate phenomenal change. This course will introduce core  Biodynamic principles and create the conditions for you to embody them.  These principles are essential and intrinsic to health and healing.  At the School of Inner Health, the biodynamic paradigm is foundational and underlies our approach to all the courses we teach.
