The Conscious Brain — Perception, Identity and the Embodied Self
26.03.2026, 19:30 (GMT), 90 Min
Zoom-Live Webinar (recording and transcript available)
Investment: £35
In this live session, we will explore the relationship between the brain, consciousness, and the embodied self, and how this understanding can transform the way we approach healing in clinical practice. Drawing on the principles outlined in The Brain and Formation of Consciousness, alongside a detailed clinical case of concussion recovery, we will examine how trauma and subsequent healing can invite a new sense of evolved, embodied self.
Through this exploration, we will consider how healing is not simply the restoration of function, but a reorganisation of consciousness. Particular emphasis will be placed on the role of rhythm, the integration of lived experience, and the development of an embodied centre of awareness from which both the brain and the individual can recover and reorganise.
By the end of this webinar, we will:
Explore the brain as a mediator of consciousness rather than its source
Differentiate between the “named self” and the deeper embodied sense of self
Understand how trauma disrupts the relationship between brain, body, and self
Examine the role of the nervous system in holding patterns of survival and adaptation
Explore the importance of rhythm in supporting physiological regulation and healing
Discuss the role of the liver in the integration and “digestion” of lived experience
Consider how immune activation may relate to processes of neural reorganisation
Introduce the heart as a mediating centre between cognitive and embodied awareness
Reflect on therapeutic approaches that support a redistribution of consciousness
Apply these principles to clinical practice across a range of conditions
Who it’s for:
Osteopaths, clinicians, and manual therapists
Body–mind and holistic health practitioners
Anthroposophical and integrative medicine students
Practitioners seeking deeper physiological meaning beyond textbook models

This live webinar explores the role of the conscious brain in trauma and its relevance for clinical practice in osteopathy. Designed for osteopaths and holistic practitioners, it offers a deeper understanding of how perception, identity, and physiology interact in the process of healing.
Drawing on a clinical case of concussion recovery, alongside principles from integrative and anthroposophical medicine, the session presents a practical framework for working with the brain as a mediator of consciousness rather than its source. Particular focus is placed on nervous system regulation, the role of rhythm, and the integration of lived experience in recovery.
You will gain clinically relevant insights into how trauma affects the relationship between brain, body, and self—and how this relationship can reorganise through treatment.
