The Immune system is more than a collection of cells dedicated to a single purpose. The Immune system is ALL the cells in the body dedicated to survival. Survival in This Moment. And survival in the most vigorous potent way possible. Rapid adaptability is the name of the game. And the immune system is at the heart of our rapidly evolving, thriving organism. The two major components of the immune system, Innate immunity and Adaptive immunity, require a continuous subtle discreet successful awareness to distinguish between self and not-self, and the means to transmit this information to the whole.
Intercellular communication provides the means by which the entire organism thrives. Each system of the body has developed techniques to ensure survival. And this is what we will be investigating - the profound, instantaneous nature of cellular communication within the context of whole body dynamics.
We will explore the significant roles of DNA, Epigenetics, Plasticity, Membranes, Memory, and Marrow. As well as: Sleep & Rest,Vit D, Nutrition, Pro-biotics, Hormones, Repair & Regeneration
The postgraduate workshop will look at the latest research in immunology around the following subjects:
How the immune system works
Ways of meeting the immune system with BCST
Pivotal nature of blood brain barrier, gut, skin
Nature of white blood cells
Trauma and the immune system
Auto-immune disorders
Immune modulation by behavioural conditioning
Epigenetics
Psychoneuroimmunology
Perception
The gut microbiome
Adaptogens
Inflammatory conditions and neuroimmunology
Multi-disciplinary ways forward and how to suggest other forms of therapy

About the Tutor: Marianne D'Amore
Dr D’Amore has been practicing her dynamic blend of acupuncture, nutritional counseling, chiropractic, meditation, yoga and Tai Qi for more than 30 years in Newport Beach, California. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy brings the dimensions of wholeness, resonance, stillness and vitality to her practice in one complete package. Her philosophical foundation is based on the principle that the life force (aka as Qi, Prana, the Breath of Life) will find its most optimal state of well being and will move towards a deepening of vitality as its natural rhythmic powers are supported and the constrictions of trauma, be it physical, mental, emotional or psychic, are softened and reduced. That all things throughout the multiverse resonate as an interconnected whole and that the infinite, unbounded, nonjudgmental nature of love and oneness motivates the path towards wellness and optimum functioning for all. It is her desire to increase the well being of all through self-awareness and resonance with nature and to bring wisdom and appreciation for the beauty and fullness of the earth as Gaia so to achieve a sustainable, peaceful and bountiful existence for all beings.
