Introduction to TensegrityU: Practitioner Skill Building Retreat

Dr. Ida P. Rolf began to get curious about how the body keeps the score back in the 1930’s. Her belief in the infinite potential for change in the human organism led to our current excitement around fascia and neuroplasticity, and launched a revolution in the connection between body and psyche. She devoted her life to developing a method of therapeutic touch that helps shed limiting, habitual layers and invoke the highest potential of the individual, and our species. She believed, like we do, that integrated beings create integrated relationships; integrated relationships create integrated communities; and integrated communities create an integrated world. 

Intro to TensegrityU is our survey course in Rolf Structural Integration, Gestalt Relational Process, and the Feldenkrais Method. This course is designed for experienced practitioners and beginners alike, and participants will come away with skills in bodywork, somatic psychology, and therapeutic touch that will be immediately useful to clients, friends, and family.

In this course participants will:

  • Learn the principles of Rolf Structural Integration 
  • Develop tools for contacting fascial layers and ability to differentiate through touch
  • Explore the relationship between gravity, fascia and alignment through embodiment and movement explorations – including Feldenkrais Awareness through Movement (ATM) lessons, meditation and grounding practices, and sunday morning dance 
  • Learn tools of Gestalt Relational Process and therapeutic touch to increase presence and awareness and integration of ourselves and our clients
  • Investigate how the body is influenced by the principles of entrainment, co-regulational, developmental stages, emotional anatomy, biotensegrity, and neuroplasticity
  • Craft bodywork sessions for each other using the tools from the course

The course takes place in a beautiful retreat setting with walking trails located 5 minutes from downtown Nevada City and 20 minutes from the Yuba River. Retreat house and Classroom onsite. No need to drive anywhere once you land.
