CaPPP CPD event Saturday 12th June 2021 at Engineer’s House

Mari will explain and facilitate exercises to explore how your body senses inform you and your client unconsciously and consciously. When you gain familiarity in simple ways with your own body’s sensory language, you can voluntarily choose to engage and resource yourself and your client creatively in times of challenge.

The day will be discursive and experiential, introducing three realms of body senses which can be utilised as resource for therapists and to support clients in deepening and resourcing their experiences in therapy.

Mari draws on her training and practice in experiential anatomy and Integrative Body and Movement Therapy to inform her style of teaching. She will also explore briefly Stephen Porges and Deb Dana’s work around understanding how our body senses detect and respond to threat and to safety in environments and relationships.
