Inspiring Osteopathy Seminars: Exploring the Osteopathic Link: The Central Chain & Somatic-Emotional Health
🗓️ February 27 – March 2, 2025 at Four Points Sheraton, San Rafael, California.
🧘 Course Director: J.Yusuf Q. Erskine, D.O.
🧘 Special Guest: Philippe Druelle, D.O.
✨ What if you could offer your patients more than relief—true, lasting transformation?
As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, you’ve mastered the body’s intricate systems. But complex cases with chronic pain, emotional stress, and visceral dysfunction demand more. You need a solution that integrates body, mind, and self-regulation to address root causes, not just symptoms.
Philippe Druelle DO will teach in this four-day course clinical methodology for relieving the suffering and dysfunctions of our complex patients. This course is fascinating, expanding our capacities as osteopaths and enables us to relieve our patients by involving the mechanisms necessary for balance and health, in accordance with the core concepts and principles of osteopathy.
The central chain is a functional unit which is the key to our body’s self-regulation. It includes and brings together all the organs and the brain, the heart and the main arteries, the plexuses and especially the Vagus nerve, which run the factories of our body. That’s why we also call it the tree of life.
✨ The Druelle Central Chain Course
is unlike any osteopathic training you’ve experienced. Philippe Druelle, DO, brings decades of groundbreaking insight, sharing clinical methodologies that target the central chain—the core system connecting the brain, heart, and vital organs. This course empowers you to:
Your patients count on you for relief. With the Central Chain methodology, you can provide much more: true, lasting health.
✨ Philippe Druelle DO, internationally recognized as an expert in this field, will present the results of his 40 years of clinical and experimental research on this subject, as well as a model explaining the interrelationships between the brain, membranes, fluid and liquid dynamics, vascularization and bioenergetics.
-
It has been more than twenty years since the Central Chain Course was first presented in the USA by Philippe Druelle at Dr. Frymann’s Osteopathic Center for Children. I am thrilled to bring Druelle to explore with us his further developments in the correlation of the Central Chain, the Chakras, and Somatic- Emotional health.

For those who wish to further their professional education and clinical skills with the Druelle Endocranial Spasm courses, this is a timely offering from internationally recognized osteopath Philippe Druelle, providing essential osteopathic teaching and practical clinical applications.

LIVING BIOPLASM PALPATION AND DIALOGUE: Tissues, Fluids and Fields Interactions to Determine and Respond to the Person’s Deepest Needs with GENEVIÈVE FORGET PHT, D.O.M.P (Can), MSc Edu Andragogy
November 2-5, 2023 at Four Points Sheraton, San Rafael, CA., Marin County, CA.
The art of palpation of living matter involves the ability to listen, discern and collect various information from the dynamic nature of the dialogue with the person and physiology.
This workshop offers an exploration with validation of the various aspects of matter, to better identify
their characteristics, standardize their palpation, define specific treatment objectives for each of these
levels, and initiate the work of the living bioplasm and its prioritization according to the patient’s requests and physiological response.
Course Synopsis
1. IMPORTANCE OF THE THERAPEUTIC SPACE AND QUALITY OF PRESENCE TO MAXIMIZE DIALOGUE, RECIPROCAL EXCHANGES, AND BALANCE: grounding, centering, and availability to the person through the matter, motion, and context.
2. DEVELOPMENT OF PALPATION SKILLS TO APPRECIATE AND WORK WITH THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF MATTER: tissular, fluidic and vibratory realms.
-
- Tissular aspect:
- Overall fascial network tensegrity vs trauma imprints, cellular memory, and physiological systems, reciprocity between the posterior (MSK, neuro-meningeal) and anterior (visceral, vascular, glandular) units in relation to the central coherence, fascial body in relation to the fluid body, cranio-sacral dynamics, pressure distribution and vibrational realm.
- Tissular aspect:
-
- Fluidic aspect:
- Overall fluid body dynamics with neuro-endocrine-vascular-immune interactions, interaction of the macro-circulation (arterial-venous-CSF-lymphatics continuity) and micro-circulation (primo-vascular, interstitial-glymphatic, extracellular-intracellular flows) within its context
- Fluidic aspect:
-
- Vibrational aspect:
- Overall fields network and the oscillatory realm; lines of force and quality of radiance of the matrix
- Interactions of the EMFs, morphic fields and life field distribution within the universal energy context.
- Vibrational aspect:
***Time allotted to the different possible items will depend on participants previously acquired skill set and experience.
3. DEVELOPMENT OF PALPATION SKILLS TO DIALOGUE AND WORK FROM THE BIOPLASM:
-
- The simultaneous palpation of the various aspects of matter into a unified reality, at the service of the person’s expression and wellbeing
4. WORKING FROM THE BIOPLASM TO DETERMINE THE “MENU OF THE DAY”:
-
- Dialogue with the person’s physiology to determine the priority of the moment, the appropriate treatment path, sequence, and methods.
- From convergence of information and clinical reasoning, from the questioning method, from intuitive perceptive palpation, using guidance from the life field, determining the priority during the consultation
- Discernment of the physiological state to determine the choice of method, sequence, and path (acute-chronic, autonomic state, centeredness-openness, state, vitality availability, direct-indirect approaches, volumetric balancing vs suspension or molding work, etc.)
- Restoring functional unit and working health mechanisms towards autoregulation, health, and wellness
Following this seminar, participants will be able to dialogue with the person’s manifestation to appreciate the different expressions of matter, determine the presence of different dysfunctions or patterns and adapt the methods of treatment according to the presentation of the physiology.
This workshop’s objective is to answer certain professional questions and to extend the range and diversity of therapeutic intervention, within an approach aimed at acquiring the versatility necessary to meet the deepest needs of each patient.

Course Instructor:
GENEVIÈVE FORGET
PHT, D.O.M.P (Can), MSc Edu Andragogy
Geneviève Forget has been working in the health sciences since 1992 and started teaching osteopathic manual practice approaches in continuing education curriculums since 2003.
Known as an international guest speaker in France, Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Italy and Japan, her research endeavors and clinical practice brought her to work in collaboration with Philippe Druelle within the Endocranial Dysfunction series, as well as develop other continuing education seminars over the last 20 years covering diverse topics:
- Work of the main health mechanisms to promote autoregulation.
- Palpation from the distinct aspects of matter to a unified bioplasm response
- Work of the Vascular tree and micro-circulation
- Systemic and Metabolic work in relation to chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and other disorders
- Molding work of the form in relation to lines of development and function
- Unification work of the different constructs (physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual) to an integrated body, mind, and heart expression
Her focus is always to respond to the different participants needs in terms of explanations, assistance, and validation through out the learning process, adapting the course content, if need be, to further the therapist’s knowledge, skills and ability to be present in turn for their patients.
I have known Philippe Druelle and Genevieve Forget for over 25 years and they are on my top list of most important teachers. Philippe is not only precise and clear as a teacher, but also we benefit from his creation and devotion to the Canadian schools of Osteopathy which he originated and continues to oversee.
Most importantly, beyond the organized depiction of an approach to the brain from multiple dimensions, in a palpable and expansive way; he consistently embodies the osteopathic work from whatever aspect of the spectrum between spirit, energy and physicality for me, in a way which is beyond any other teacher.
We have been blessed for so many years that his associate, Genevieve Forget teaches along with him. She not only carries the load of translation, at times, because of her familiarity taking leads in teaching along with Philippe, but also, she is an experienced an outstanding practitioner, great table trainer and innovator in her own right. She teaches regularly in Canada and Europe. She is going solo for this course of the quintessential osteopathy sequence, that is exciting!
I can’t recommend any of their courses higher, both from the perspective of a growing osteopath to learn and expand in thought; but also in learning new and practical approaches and considerations with application immediately in practice. This is a great opportunity for all of us to get an extended look at the work of Philippe and Genevieve over the next few years and I do look forward to seeing them on an ongoing basis in the Bay Area.
I am deeply grateful and feel fortunate to have been able to participate in osteopathic seminars with Genevieve Forget. In my experience, Genevieve is compassionate, clear, unbiased, vastly knowledgeable and humorous in her presentations. Her seminars have helped me personally and profoundly in my work as an U.S. osteopathic physician.
Last year in Montreal, I was able to attend her “Living Bioplasm” workshop where I was able to get a clearer and deeper understanding of the anatomy and palpatory experience of the different levels of manifestation of life: tissues, fluids, electric magnetic field, morphogenic field, Life field. And, how to recognize and treat dysfunction in them to assist in our work as Osteopaths.
I would highly recommend any seminar presented by Genevieve Forget; even if you have already taken one, there is always new material and a deeper understanding of one’s Self and living osteopathy.
Physician Burnout: From Burning Out, to Burning Bright! An Osteopathic Perspective with J. Yusuf Q. Erskine DO
Physician burnout has grown over the past few decades from an outlier event affecting a few “canaries in the mine” to endemic proportions affecting more than 59% of practicing physicians.” With the arrival and persistence of the Covid-19 pandemic with its multiple surges and ongoing variants, healthcare providers have been taxed even more!
“You have suffered sorrow and humiliation. You have lost your wits and have gone astray and, fallen ill, you lose heart and cannot discover by which remedies to cure your own disease.” Prometheus Unbound
Hippocrates urges “cura te ipsum -PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF.”
“It is essential to shift from over-extend to over-flow” Y.Q.E.
I invite you to join me in a personal exploration of Physician Burnout. We will explore the distinguishing characteristics and contributing factors; our predisposing physician values; and the institutional and societal pressures. More importantly, we will begin an exploration in the processes of re-calibration and realigning to the living osteopathic principles more fully. This is the osteopathic way forward! Philosophical and practical approach Including practicums with self-help, mindfulness, and osteopathic treatment protocols.
THIS SERIES WILL INCLUDE VIDEO MODULES DESIGNED FOR SELF PACING and LIVE QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSIONS TO INSURE EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND PERSONAL GROWTH.
