BAJA GLOW: LEARN POLARITY THERAPY




Registration is now open – Baja Mexico Retreat, May 2022

I am pleased to announce a new Baja Glow: Polarity and You retreat – the first offered in Los Barriles, Baja California del Sur, Mexico.

Dates: May 14-28, 2022

Venue: La Playa Condos for students

Event Description:

BAJA GLOW: POLARITY & YOU is a unique opportunity to escape the familiar people, places, habits and routines of your daily life - long enough to create new selfcare habits and learn a new way of looking at life.

Learning one-on-one from someone with a lifetime of training and experience in the concepts, principles and practice of polarity therapy and biodynamic craniosacral along with the living foods lifestyle (which dovetails with polarity therapy principles) and is on fire with enthusiasm to share as much as possible of how it works!

What students and colleagues and clients say: "...I have attended polarity therapy / biodynamic craniosacral courses led by Sea Cummins. Sea is a highly skilled teacher creating a structured as well as a free flowing and creative space to grow, learn and expand.
At the conclusion of my courses with Sea I was able to take the material learned and integrate it within my life. She has been a mentor to me and leads by example with integrity, resilience and perserverance. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for Sea and look forward to taking courses from her in the future."--Anne Page, Portland, OR pharmaceutical researcher

"...She is an outstanding Healing Arts professional and brings incredible resource to the classroom space and private session space.
Sea is dedicated to bringing depth and integrity to the polarity therapy community and in all the classes she has assisted me in and all the students comment how she made their experience that much richer.
Sea is one of those people who go above and beyond." Tracy Griffiths, Owner of IPSB at Lei School of Polarity and Massage in Topanga Canyon, Pacific Palisades, CA

"Sea has a magic touch! Her biodynamic craniosacral work has brought deep rest and alignment to my body. Her touch alleviates the (otherwise chronic) pain in my hip and neck.
Sometimes her sessions bring me to the most restorative rest I’ve ever experienced.
When I have a session with Sea, I know I’m in expert hands being orchestrated by a caring heart."

Baja Glow:
Imagine yourself on a white sandy beach with clear blue water lapping gently at the shore as a big sun emerges like a liquid orange ball at the horizon to start your day. You meet on the beach to learn a smudging and tobacco ceremony you can practice on your own, and morning aroma yoga® … some mornings you go to a workout class, or you walk along the beach to a recovery group overlooking the water where people are sharing their celebrations, struggles and listening. Your days include live nutrient-dense juicing, soups, salads, wraps and more! Classtime is refreshing energy studies and bodywork with charts, hands-on, emotional support… You learn natural beauty inside and out with polarity principles, new daily selfcare routines, nonviolent diet specific for increasing perceptual skills and intention setting.

This is individually designed as an intensive polarity therapy learning experience with time built in for relaxing, walking, sight seeing and letting all the new information percolate and digest within nature’s sea, sand and desert.

Selfcare and retreat cleanse activities also count towards learning polarity therapy and will be documented and credited towards your clock hours towards the associate polarity principles certification (after 155 hrs and all homework completed. Please see separate sheet for details.) Please note: June, July, August and September and if needed, part of October 2022 in Portland, OR will be continuation of the complete beginner polarity principles course with Sea and her polarity academy.



Sea brings 45 years of study and practice of polarity therapy—bodywork, diet, exercise and counseling—and its evolved and advanced form of cranial work biodynamic craniosacral. She brings everyday simple habit instructions that you can take home with you from how it was living in a polarity therapy community running a hot springs resort and doing this work and eating this food as a group. These are highly sought after skills that are enthusiastically loved and raved about but off the mainstream.

To become a healing arts professional, first dive deep into your own healing journey of forgiveness, self-forgiveness and coming to peace with and clearing the past. I call myself a facilitator not a healer because technically each person heals themselves with Nature and Love! With that being said, each person has a natural healing system that responds to support and skilled caring presence. And it is a daily practice.

To be there for someone else, first experience for yourself a living foods and lifestyle transformation. It’s a daily line-up of selfcare and cleanse/nourish techniques direct from the ancients and raw foods world icons.

What is Polarity Therapy?

Polarity therapy combines traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, Egyptian Hermetic wisdom and their common pillars which Dr Randolph Stone, DO, DC, ND founder, discovered traveling and studying at length. He was also a devoted meditator and tapped into subtle patterns of energy in the human energy field. The magnetic quality is what led to the name polarity therapy for the magnetic poles in the human energy system. It is said he was stillborn and as everyone began preparations to bury him, he began breathing. Perhaps this is a phenomenon of a unique and special soul coming into the world who had a near death experience while simultaneously coming alive earthside.

Modern neuroscience and quantum physics are part of polarity principles and spring into life in the biodynamic craniosacral portion emphasized in Sea’s approach to polarity. Dr Porges, Dr Stephen Levine, Ray Castellino, Anna Chitty et al.

Again these are practical tools to incorporate into your life and share with friends and family. But many are not discussed on the internet because ultimately they are low-cost and free things you do to stay and become healthier.

Students may incorporate tools learned and continue with Sea for their associate polarity principles certification, (to be applied for with APTA after graduating from the 155hr program).

You will create and uncover your own version of that baja glow… you know it’s there!

This retreat hours can be applied to modules Sea teaches in her polarity academy, for a total course of 155hrs (homework includes giving and documenting 30 polarity therapy sessions) and is the entry level of associate polarity principles. Exact hours may fluctuate and depending on individual participation and homework done anywhere from 30-60hrs towards the 155hr APP certification may be approved by Sea. If this is for you and you apply yourself with homework assignments while in Baja--but also slow down and drop into this immersion we can dive deep and apply hours. Keep in mind that some of this has to digest and letting time process this work within you. This is a life changing, heart-warming transformative and healing experience of a lifetime.

Students receive 1:1 personalized sessions from Sea. There also is time during class for individual attention and to be supervised giving sessions.

Afternoon breaks allow for free time and swimming or relaxing.
An early dinner and quiet most nights can help create a rhythm of rising with the sun.

There will be evening class, outing or session no more than 2xs per week.

Sea attends local recovery meetings almost once a day and all students are welcome to come with her to some or all these. See your calendar for times and several are within walking distance and can be combined with coffee, juice or breakfast at Las Palmas hotel. All the meetings are open to everyone who desires to be free of addiction of any kind and tend to resource and enhance the supportive nature of community of the polarity trainings and are considered additions to the retreat.

Alternatively you may use this time as free time or to do reading or homework on your own which apply to your hours towards APP certification.

Friday and or Saturday nights are good for finding local live music and dancing. We ask that no alcohol whatsoever be consumed during the polarity retreat and no mind-altering medications or intoxicants be used to allow the energy work to process. Let Sea know if you have any questions or have medications that might be harmful to stop. This training is not appropriate for anyone with less than six months of sobriety.

This course is stand-alone or can be applied to the APP course requirements with Sea only, in 2022 and going forward at your own pace.
During this workshop you will have many opportunities to apply, experience and practice the polarity knowledge. Ask questions and receive personal sessions as well as be coached working on others and at times work on Sea so she can guide and give feedback.

Your north node, said to be your soul’s purpose, and astrocartography readings are included and part of the classtime.
