 Please  come and experience this profound work, whether you are a professional health  care practitioner, mind, body and/or energy therapy practitioner or a lay  person interested in a deeper connection to self. Participants will become  acquainted with basic theories and methods that constitute some of the major  somatic-psychological practices and their clinical application. Topics include  body and breath awareness, self–regulation, the embodied therapist, the facets  of experience, and the body as gateway to presence.It is a  great privilege to have Gabriele Hoppe come  to Santa Barbara, the location of the only  Biosynthesis training offered in the United States.  Hoppe is a long-time trainer for the  International Institute for Biosynthesis and a teacher of the German  Acupuncture Society. She has co-created with acupuncturist and author Gabriel  Stux, "Energy Medicine and Therapy" which is a unique combination of  Chinese Medicine and Biosynthesis. Her specialty focus is prenatal and  perinatal psychology and early developmental issues. She has trained  extensively in the work of Moshe Feldenkrais and Eutonie, as well as training  with Chuck Spezzano and Carl Simonton.
 
 What is Biosynthesis? This  integrative study of the practice of body-oriented psychotherapy, addresses the  whole human being which includes body, psyche, and soul, as well as the  transpersonal dimensions.
 The word  Biosynthesis means “integration of life” and that is precisely what this work  is about: harmonious integration of breathing patterns, muscle tone, and  emotional expression; integrating feeling, thinking and acting; grounding the  qualities of our essence in everyday reality.
