Class One
Pulsation as an Expression of Health
Every single cell of the body pulsates. As such it expresses health and
vitality. When we are exposed to chronic environmental stress, toxicity,
or traumatic experiences, we contract. Over time contraction becomes
anchored in the tissues of the body.
- This module will give on overview of the model of health based on pulsation.
- We will look at how armouring becomes chronically held in the body and how this relates to ‘set points’ in the self-regulating systems of the body.
- The importance of early experience, from conception through to early childhood, sets the emotional and physiological tone for the rest of life.
- We will explore how we can recognize armouring and support the return to healthy pulsation.
- Finally, we will see how this relates to resilience.

Class Two
Ground, Environment and Relationship
The inner ground of embodied experience is the foundation for health and
resilience. This inner ground is always in communication with the
environment. Relationship is the liminal space in which this
communication occurs.
- This module puts the ground of embodied relationship at the heart of resilience building parenting and therapy.
- We differentiate between left brain and right brain functioning and how these generate different types of relationship.
- We look at different types of crying and how these communicate different ways in which ground and environment are out of synch with each other.
- We will look at the rupture and repair model of being with the child, rather trying to fix a problem.
- We will see how building healthy ground through relationship fosters resilience.

Class Three
The Nature of the Child. Lessons from Summerhill and Indigenous Wisdom
Our culture often tries to mould children in ways, that do not honour their inherent nature.
- In this module I will describe my experience of working at Summerhill School for 9 years as a houseparent and insights from meeting with indigenous elders.
- We will distinguish between freedom and licence.
- We look at the value of boredom in building resilience.
- We will explore the difference between a good child and a healthy child.
- We will see how lessons from Summerhill and indigenous cultures can be integrated into family life and therapeutic practice, to support resilience.
