Join Helen Wilson, D.O.M.P., for an in-depth seminar exploring osteopathy, biodynamics, and the essential role of breath in healing. This hands-on session will help you understand how osteopathy restores balance in the body and how proper breathing techniques activate core physiological systems.

What You’ll Learn:

🔹 Osteopathy & Biodynamics: The Gateway to Healing

• Understand osteopathy’s role in restoring health by aligning the body’s natural rhythms.

• Discover how a neutral state connects us to nature and serves as a gateway to the divine.

• Experience the power of biodynamics in action through live demonstrations.

🔹 Interactive Osteopathic Demonstrations

• Helen will work on volunteers, showing firsthand how osteopathy supports healing, mobility, and pain relief.

🔹 The Truth About Belly Breathing

• Debunking the Myth: Learn why true diaphragmatic breathing is not just “belly breathing” and why it’s essential.

• Activating the Body’s Systems: Understand how proper breathwork optimizes digestion, circulation, and nervous system function.

• Three-Part Breathing Technique: Experience a method that integrates breath into full-body wellness.

Experience It for Yourself!

This seminar is designed to be interactive and experiential—you’ll see, feel, and practice these techniques under expert guidance.
