This 2 day course develops the online course presented by Averille on LoMeRio covering family systems in osteopathy, approaches in assessing and developing an osteopathic discourse with a family group, and developing your therapeutic approach with family at the heart of the session. It is advised that attendees have at least 5 years in practice and required that you have attended Averille’s Online-course on LoMeRio.

Experiential practice will develop your osteopathic approach in:

• holding fields , attunement, family witnessing
• narrative therapy and discourse remodelling
• family group dynamics, relational field (including verbal & non-verbal feedback)
• co-creating therapeutic touch, synchronisation of felt-sensations/ co-regulation/ social engagement systems
• integration and healing in a co-created family field.

Some quotes from the course:

“A family systems approach, between practitioner and family members, requires a sharing of knowledge on biological systems, engages autonomy and supports adaption which link physiology, emotions and behaviour through embodied connections.”

“The osteopath engages family through attuned palpation and critical reasoning to locate and orientate dysfunction whilst simultaneously engaging meaningful cycles of release and transformation towards homeostasis.”

“Dynamic stillness is a connectivity between all in the room and attention is focused on a greater momentum, “the observer is completely shown healing” (Jealous 1999), all are lucid and conscious and continuous in space and time. “It is an opportunity for the not-yet to be expressed purely in all its freshness. This fluid stillness… [is required].. for all the waves to be gathered into one force” (Jealous, 2015 p136)”

The course will be held in English and German. Averille Morgen will teach in English with simultaneous live translation by Susanne Dick. All the above scripts will be available for download in German and English. All videos are also provided with translation or German subtitles.
