The training offers a 50 day practitioner course for individuals wanting to become qualified craniosacral therapists. The training is biodynamic in its approach orienting to the body's natural wisdom and allowing innate intelligent processes to arise and bring about authentic change. These changes will be physiological and psycho-emotional. The body's own priorities for change are listened for and encouraged to arise. The art of the therapist is to connect with the underlying forces of health and facilitate a process of natural reorganization. These forces express as subtle motion of tissues and fluids that can be felt by sensitive hands. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy takes a whole-person approach to healing and the inter-connectedness of mind, body and spirit are deeply acknowledged.
The training is offered in a format of in ten 5-day seminars over two years. This period of time is necessary to allow key skills to develop through regular practice. The seminars are powerful experiences and are a mixture of verbal teachings, discussion, small group explorations and hands-on bodywork. The development of practical skills is based on the student practitioner's own explorations and experience of the work, supported by supervision from tutors. Biodynamic craniosacral therapy is a process-oriented practice and requires practitioners to be skilled at working with their own somato-emotional patterns as well as with a clients. The deep listening that is offered in the work allows the experiences that are held to arise as body and mind processes. The contact sessions in the seminars will naturally engage with your deeper patterning, which is both personally transforming and a key learning experience for becoming a therapist. Most of the deeper understanding of the work emerges from the experiential work on the course. It's necessary to continue this process between seminars with personal one to one treatments throughout the duration of the course.
