| Embodied Awareness through Listening Presence |
This 4-day retreat is open to everyone desiring greater presence, an ability to listen on a deeper level and desire to feel safe and at home in your own body . Although this course is a precursor to craniosacral level 1, practicing craniosacral is not a requirement in doing this course, it is open to everyone.

"The great challenge in our busy life and therapeutic practice is to stay connected within ourselves, physically present in our body without time-traveling into the past or future with our thoughts. Without presence we cannot listen; to ourselves or another. When we are listened to, we feel connected. When we’re not listened to we feel separate. Deep Listening Presence, being truly in the here and now, receptive and engaged in listening is healing. It's what people crave."
This retreat is largely experiential with some lecture and discussion, embodiment exercises, mindful speaking and listening, meditation, conscious breathing, writing, guided visualization and movement.

"I attended the Level 1 Craniosacral course, and through this and subsequent courses I was impressed and intrigued by the depth and integrity of Michael's presence. When he offered his Embodied Awareness through Listening Presence course in Sydney this year I was there with bells on.
The safety, integrity and kindness of the space Michael and all the attendees created in the course was beautiful and I came away feeling truly in my body for the first time in my life. I am now able to really listen to my family, my friends and my clients and offer the kind of presence and support they deserve. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be with those I love on a deeper level.
When day to day stresses and triggers knock me off balance, I can now find my way back to being present and am enjoying deepening my practice and continuing my discovery of myself. I highly recommended this course, for me in was life-changing." - Elissa
