Craniosacral Classes

Craniosacral I

24 Hours $293

Instructor: To Be Announced

Course Description:

Craniosacral Unwinding is a therapeutic modality that offers specialty training for the health care professional. It is ideal for the body worker; massage therapist, chiropractor, physical therapist and anyone working in the healing arts. It teaches the practitioner how to use their palpation skills (to become present in their hands) and to get into harmony, resonance and rapport with the fluidic nature of the body. It also teaches a thorough treatment of the connective tissue system throughout the body, from the tip of the toes to the top of the head. Students learn how to approach the client with healthy boundaries, honor the person and their innate healing process, and create a relationship that is non-invasive and client centered.

Craniosacral therapy is process work that speaks the language of cellular reality. The focus of this system is on garnering the healing energy within the body, which jumpstarts the person’s own healing ability and process. The craniosacral rhythms are at the core of the body’s pulse; learning to palpate and balance them is like discovering the ebb and flow of the ocean. The student learns to contact the tissue, tune into the rhythm within the tissue, and move in a way that honors the cell movement – getting in touch with the cellular memory – which leads to the places that have become devitalized or overcharged.

There is a relationship established between the tissue (which holds much of the unconscious memory) and the core energy of the body. It is through these rhythmic pulsatory craniosacral pathways that subtle energy steps down into the physical tissues of the body, nurturing them, bringing healing resonance, and thus enabling them to perform all of the vital biological functions in a healthy way.

The client feels connected to the primary core of energy (PRR), which in turn enables them to: relax tension, release energy blocks and open the energy pathways in the body. This restores balance and promotes revitalization. Craniosacral unwinding is designed to enhance your massage career or and further your personal growth and spiritual development.

This class is an introduction to the craniosacral rhythm, concepts and motion. The focus is on developing palpation skills, learning the art of unwinding (moving with the inherent movements in the body) and learning to find and have boundaries. You will learn a ten-step protocol to address and palpate the connective tissue system throughout the body. We approach this work from both a classical and esoteric perspective.

Craniosacral II

Course Description:

Expanding on the previous course, students gain deeper appreciation of the workings of the cranial vault and cranium bones, as well as the palpatory art of unwinding. Facilitation of facial bones will also be addressed.
