Hi All, Please note the date change for this workshop to the following Saturday 13th from 11-5pm at the Nano Nagle Theatre.
Sometimes in our lives and in the world as it is right now we need to find refuge, plug into the places that enable us to be with and also get away from all that is happening. This is essential of we are to remain grounded, fluid and resourced.
The dance, community and ritual offer all of these.
We will come together in good company, with great music and be with whatever emerges through the dance.
Open Floor movement is a resourcing and regulating practice that welcomes all of who we are.
There are CPD 6 CPD points available to professionals for this workshop.
Everyone is welcome- No experience required.

An invitation to come together in dance, community and ritual to support and resource you for the times we are living through right now.
Its difficult to be in the world with everything that is unfolding at the moment.
The dance offers a container to be with and get away from all of that.
Both are necessary to stay resourced and regulated.
Every one is welcome. Experience isnt necessary. Info and booking hbohan@gmail.com.

Welcome to my page
I am an accredited Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, trauma specialist and psychotherapist working in private practice and online from Cork City, Ireland . I am also an Open Floor Movement facilitator and an accredited 5Rhythms® teacher teaching workshops throughout Ireland and internationally.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) psychobiological trauma resolution is a gentle and highly effective approach to the prevention and resolution of trauma and stress-related conditions. Developed by Peter A. Levine, PhD, author of the best-selling book, “Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma,” and recipient of the 2010 USABP Lifetime Award, the SE approach is based on the study of how animals in the wild process and recover from stress and life-threatening situations. The SE approach is taught worldwide and is practiced by over 8000 trauma professionals on six continents. The result of over forty years of observation, research, and clinical development the SE approach is based upon the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma. The SE approach restores nervous system self-regulation, and returns a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness to traumatized individuals who have had these precious gifts taken away.
Here is a wonderfully simple explanation of working with the nervous system.
I integrate Somatic Experiencing with attachment theory and IFS (Internal Family Systems) . I am also trained to work specifically with Developmental Trauma with the cutting edge work of Kathy Kain’s Somatic Practice. This Somatic touch therapy is the most potent and effective method for healing early trauma, building self regulation and resilience.
I have been studying dance, movement and therapy as healing arts since 2000 and have seen and experienced personally the profound effect that that it has on peoples lives. In 2011, I undertook a training with Gabrielle Roth, the creator of 5Rhythms® Movement Meditation and I have been teaching classes and workshops locally and internationally since then. I also completed a training in Open Floor Movement practice. I have found Open Floor Movement to be the most trauma sensitive Conscious dance practice that I have encountered, and in terms of embodiment , it is the the most up to date and effective practice for embodying all of who we are.
All my classes are trauma informed and I work from the level of the group nervous system,
I am also an assistant on Somatic Experiencing trainings in Croatia with SE Faculty Berns Galloway
