Biodynamic Breath® Meets Fluid Presence®

Hosted by Natalie Keany & Shantam at PremShala

We warmly welcome you to join us on this unique and intimate 4 day workshop in which we will experience the fundamentals of the BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System & Fluid Presence® Somatic Water Therapy. We will explore this through breath, movement, dance, partner exercises, meditation, sound, emotional and physical release and conscious touch.

We will begin with an introduction to Biodynamic Breathwork and in the following days we will work with the keys areas of tension in the body and how that can be further explored with the support of the water.

Day 1: An introduction to Biodynamic Breathwork & Fluid Presence and how to use felt sense, resonance, titration and rapport to move into the deeper realms of trust and surrender.
Day 2: An exploration of the oral and cervical segments of the body. We will be working with the throat, jaw, neck and using the voice to meet with our own authentic expression.
Day 3: A journey into the heart. We will be opening up the thoracic segment, working with the heart, chest, arms & shoulders and looking at the interruption and armoring formed around love and connection with ourselves and others.
Day 4: On our final day together we will be working with the pelvis and psoas, releasing the tension which can interrupt the flow of creative and life force energy in the physical body.
This is an experiential workshop for those who wish to deepen their understanding of body oriented therapy on land and in water, or for those who wish to explore their own inner world, release long held tension and trauma from the physical and emotional body and enter into a deeper presence with themselves and others.

The BioDynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System:

At some point in our life, we have been exposed to traumatic events. Trauma can be devastating, but at the same time it can be used to serve as a doorway and path to personal growth and healing. BBTRS workshops and courses create opportunity for participants to uncover and let go of the effects of trauma on their body and life.
To many of us breathing has become shallow and restricted because of the exposure to stress and traumatic events. We use a special breath technique to activate our sympathetic nervous system, this allows the release of energetic charge which is stuck at the core of our body and is connected to our past traumas.

Touch and bodywork is used to support the opening of tense muscular tissue, as well as to comfort and bring a feeling of safety during the session. Once our body is charged with bioenergy, we encourage the physical movement in the form of vibration and tremoring. This type of physical release discharges excess energy that has been trapped in our muscles. In our workshops we use conscious movement, we dance, we laugh, we cry, we connect from the heart.

Once the physical tension begins to unlock, emotions and feelings that have been suppressed and unacknowledged begin to rise to the surface. This expression creates an opportunity for deeper connection with our self and supports a life of emotional freedom and mastery. BioDynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System® supports people to move from personality to individuality regaining innocence and freedom, living life with an open heart.
BioDynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System® consists of 6 major components:
Breath, Movement, Sound, Touch, Emotions and Meditation.

The BioDynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System® is recognised and accredited by:
The American Association of Drugless Practitioners (AADP)
The National Ministry of Education in Poland
The International Breathwork Foundation
The Global Professional Breathwork Alliance
National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork

Natalie Keany

11 years ago, Natalie began to travel the world, exploring alternative therapies and various healing modalities with the intention of self-healing. She had been struggling with depression, anxiety and addiction for many years due to old childhood traumas and the repression of emotions associated with this. During these years of self-exploration, she trained in Hatha and Ashtanga yoga, Kinesiology, Reiki, different forms of breathwork, & herbal medicine. In 2013 she was introduced to the Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System. This was the healing modality which allowed her to work with her own trauma, to fully release in a safe, supported environment, and to ‘come home’ to her body and essence. Life has never been the same since. The work had such a phenomenal and lasting effect on her that there was a natural and dedicated transition into learning and sharing this work with others.
Natalie went on to train with the BioDynamic Breath and Trauma Release Institute and continues to work with them on their worldwide trauma healing trainings. Natalie’s passion lies within the realm of releasing the old to make space to discover the infinite, unrealized potential which exists within each of us. She has a devotion to working with childhood trauma, addiction & depression, and sees herself as a living example of how this work can change lives. Her own personal journey of transformation has led her to believe that the breath in its very nature is like alchemy, it has the possibility to assist us in transmuting past trauma into precious and unique gifts. She facilitates individual and group sessions, as well as being a part of the BBTR Institute’s support team. Natalie is mostly based between Europe, Australia and Asia where she works with individuals and small groups, as well as collaborating with other practitioners in lovingly designing workshops which provide a safe & fun space for participants to explore, expand, release & transform.

Shantam BFA, CMT, Master Hypnotherapist & Aquatic Bodywork Therapist & Instructor was asked by Adyashanti to teach in the Non-Dual tradition in 2002. Combining a rich background in the healing arts with Spiritual Teaching, Meditation and Self-Inquiry, she recognizes that the water itself carries a teaching that nurtures Self Realization. Shantam has subsequently created Fluid Presence®, an integrative land and water based approach to the conscious embodiment of our True Nature. The Aquatic Fluid Presence Approach is a somatic water therapy which invites the direct experience of extraordinarily deep relaxation revealing the peaceful, undivided, Ever-Presence within. Her passion is to empower people to bridge that Realization into their everyday lives. With a gentle, compassionate presence and an innate, intuitive ability to communicate from the heart, Shantam offers enthusiastic support, insight and a wealth of personal experience to anyone wishing to be fully and intimately engaged in a love affair with life.
