PSOAS RELEASE IMMERSION, A 5 - DAY INNER EXPLORATION
The psoas is a muscle situated deep within the abdomen that can be viewed as the core of the
physical body. This muscle influences many aspects of both physical wellbeing as well as the
fundamental sense of Being. It is crucially important in supporting balance and ‘centering’ (coming
home in yourself), movement and coordination, and also for posture and joint rotation. It is the only
muscle that connects the lumbar vertebra with the legs and the diaphragm.The psoas serves as a highly sensitive mirror and radar for the deepest feelings, reactions and
emotions. When affected, the psoas tells the real story of what is happening, far from what eye
sees. The natural function of the muscle makes you fight, flight, freeze or respond.
We will also focus on the broad energetic context of the hara- center. Together, the psoas and the
hara- center constitute the key area of your life energy, as well as being the gravitational center of
the body and the axis of movement, coordination and mobility.
Moreover, this section of the body is a treasure trove of hidden feelings and suppressed emotions.
This is where a whole complex of unexpressed emotions gets stored: old childhood traumas,
repressed feelings involving sexuality, anger, high sensitivity, daring to be yourself and express
your own truth, the ability to enjoy… and on top of all this buried energy there’s a layer of
associated fear.
In this 5- day Immersion Retreat you will learn to work with a variety of innovative hands-on
bodywork- techniques,techniques, such as dynamic and static deep (muscle) tissue work, stretches and
rotations.
You will also learn: - respectful entrainment - space for feelings and emotions - the importance of
breathing - deep listening with heart and soul - unconditional acceptance… all of which create the
fundamental conditions for profound and vital presence and relaxation.
You will receive valuable insights into and experience directly the profound ways in which breathing
influences, opens up and connects the four crucial areas of body, mind, feelings and, spirit.
- Psoas Release Immersion -
An in-depth intimate and personal exploration into the Psoas in all of its aspects, physically,
emotionally and spiritually.

SYSTEMIC FAMILY CONSTELLATIONS
with Tina Vervaeke
October 18-21 2024
9am-6pm
Location: Birsdsong, A Healing Space.
1001 SE Water Avenue Suite 440
Portland, Oregon
Family Constellations is a powerful method to help recognize difficult entanglements, both in your family of origin as well as in your present family or relationship. We will learn the basic dynamics of family constellations from a systemic view, which focuses on the causes and needs behind the symptoms (rather than on the symptoms themselves). We will also learn to facilitate a constellation during a CranioSacral session. No pre-requisites required. 32 CEUs for LMTs.
Family Constellation is a powerful method to help you recognise
difficult entanglements, both in your family of origin as well as in your
present family or relationship. Solution-oriented interventions bring
understanding, which is followed by a deep relaxation that allows love to flow again between members of the family system.
The systemic view focuses on the causes and needs behind
symptoms (rather than on the symptoms themselves). Systemic
interventions primarily focus on clarifying what is going on, so that
people in the system can contribute to making the system vital in
their own way. Everyone can contribute to the (sub) system from
their own place and position, sometimes by looking in a different
way, sometimes through targeted, necessary interventions.
You will learn the basic dynamics of family constellations.
Tina Vervaeke is a craniosacral therapist and familyconstellations
facilitator for over 17 years now.
She lives in Ghent, Belgium where she has her practice and
organises familyconstellations monthly.
She also is a systemic worker and organization constellations
facilitator in enterprises, institutes and organizations.
