Healing
The Pelvic Floor: Reclaiming Your Power, Sexuality, and Pleasure Potential August 3 - 8, 2008 Esalen Institute, Big Sur, California |
Designing Your Personal Path |
|
Healing The Pelvic Floor: Taught by Suzanne Scurlock-Durana As women we have a unique power of creativity in our reproductive systems. That power is used not only to create new life, but also to bring personal projects into being. However, that energy can be blocked by physical, emotional, or spiritual trauma to the pelvic floor and the female organs. In this course for women, we use guided imagery, movement and hands-on exercises (all done with clothing on) to heal the pelvic floor, including the vagina and uterus, places that often hold our deepest wounds. These wounds include rape, abortions, sexual abuse, childbirth tearing and scars, self-esteem issues and negative images about our femininity. Because self-knowledge is important, scientific and anatomic information will also be presented.
This course begins Sunday evening 8:30 PM - 10 PM To Register

Designing Your Personal Path to Healing, Taught by Suzanne Scurlock-Durana,
Rachel Carlton Abrams Join Suzanne Scurlock Durana (CranioSacral Therapist), Rachel Carlton Abrams (Holistic Physician) and Lisa Carlton (Life Coach) for an informative and playful weekend of learning, laughing and exploration. Ask all the questions you want about how to get excellent health care, how to find the right body worker when you need one, and how to juice yourself up and live your life with the passion innate to being a woman. Learn about your pleasure anatomy, your hormonal balance, and your inner landscape. In our present day culture, it has never been more vital that you take responsibility for your own wellness. So many options exist to assist you on your path to healing. In fun and interactive sessions, we will explore what all of the healing traditions have to offer for your specific needs -- from Traditional Chinese Medicine to traditional Western Medicine, from CranioSacral work to Coaching, and from Nutrition to Naturopathy. Through movement, meditation, and the expressive arts, we will support you in accessing your own body intuition so that you can find the places in yourself that need healing and engage your own inner healer. We will travel through all of the seasons of a woman's life -- from menstruation and sexuality to motherhood and issues with work and life balance to menopause and aging. We will address the health, structural and psychological issues present at each stage from all of our perspectives.
Time for sharing wisdom and experience as a community of women will be integrated throughout the weekend. By the end of the workshop, you will have a clear understanding of your most pressing health issues, concrete ideas of how you can help yourself, and who you can reliably consult to assist you in your healing. The intention of this workshop is to support you in claiming your power as a full and vital woman at every age.
