I am delighted to present this three day, 18 hour course in Craniosacral Therapy from the Biodynamic Perspective. In this small group setting (6-10 students) you are invited to experience the beauty and effectiveness of this growing field; to play and to discover ways to bring more easefulness and heart presence to any kind of therapy practice.

"Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry of this other silence. it is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing."
- Rachel Naomi Reman

Silence and stillness are foundational principles in this work. It is my intention in this training to guide you in your ability to rest into the support of universal forces, to orient to the profound and seemingly limitless intelligence of what we call the Breath of Life and its tidal expression as Primary Respiration

This is an excerpt from an email I have just sent to my clients, this is the kind of work and possibility that we are engaged in. In this class you are also the client you have these possibilities available to you in the space of our group classwork together. And this is in large part your work, in learning to practice in this way. It is a powerful space and experience in which you will also be learning skills of perception, as well as the ongoing practice of receiving and holding your clients in open hearted presence.

"I want to take a moment to share some insights about BioDynamic Craniosacral Therapy as it has unfolded over the last few years in working with you.

Craniosacral Therapy is bodywork and consciousness work. It is helping your nervous system to relax and open to freeing the held energies that have been held in your body, causing you pain, a feeling of stuckness, fear, anxiety, unclear thinking or lost in thoughts and belief systems of the past. It's like coming home to our original blueprint our wholeness.

We open back up to our original first breath (we call it in this work, primary respiration) the one we've had since our conception. We are being breathed by and breathing with the "Breath of Life" - a divine reciprocity that returns us to our natural state of innocence and wholeness; love and compassion.

We are working with our consciousness - going deep into our subconscious to free the unconscious. to free the unaccepted, unacknowledged parts of ourselves, that have not felt safe to express or even to know. As this awareness unfolds, we can begin to breathe with the breath of life out into the spaciousness of our natural divine connection to wholeness and belonging.

In this work together, as the body relaxes into a sense of safety and rest, underneath the surface levels of nervous system activation (as one teacher put it "we have a "nervous" nervous system) as the body rests under and beyond that state, it's story begins to tell itself. This newfound awareness in a space of safety and trust, allows these energies and stories to unravel and release. Then it becomes possible to come home to our senses, to feeling in the present moment to present time reality, what is actually here.

We begin to feel and to feel free to receive and express love more fully to enjoy our life, our family, our relationships. We are able to make healthy boundaries through clear communication, without blame or shame.

This can be a gradual or not so gradual awakening. The timing is not ours - yours or mine - it is in the hands of the Tide, the movement and the divine wisdom of the breath of life that is moving through us, always expressing into our fluid bodes its intentions for our unfolding health and consciousness."



In this very experiential class you will:
Experience the balancing strength and clarity of your own ever-present midline
Meet your Fluid Body: fluid origins, fluid systems and fluid health
Develop awareness and settling of the relational field
Discuss basic relational needs and how they can be met within the safe relational holding field of session work
Explore the felt sense of resource for ourselves and how to help the client develop their own felt sense
Daily guided meditations to grow and deepen your sense of presence and sensory awareness
Daily hands on practice sessions
Training in and practicing these skills can help you to offer your clients:
A more resilient nervous system
A sense of Peace and Calm, Groundedness and Presence
Strengthen their immune system
Release pain and Restriction
Connect with their relationship to the Breath of Life, our deepest foundational resource
"Over time as we develop our skills of presence and perception, we settle more and more deeply into the rhythms of Primary Respiration, slowing down until we know ourselves as something deeper, slower, smoother, softer, wider than our everyday personalities. We find ourselves becoming one with the stillness that is us, that is beyond us. We sense ourselves returning, together with our client, to the beginning, prior to the hurts and traumas of our personal histories. Like the early embryo, we float within the full potential of what life has to offer. This is the heart of Craniosacral Biodynamics." Cherionna Menzam-Sills

Five years ago, following a three year, 700 hour foundation course with Margery Chessare and Turtle Back Craniosacral Education, I became certified as a BCST, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist.
This way of working and perceiving has changed my life; the way that I work with clients, and has profoundly transformed the way that I teach Craniosacral Therapy.

Because this work and this training is both so experiential, and so focused on developing your skills of perception; developing you and your relational skills, many of my students take these trainings multiple times. Although you cannot use the hours for upgrading your license, you can use them for your biannual requirements.

If you are ready to take you and your practice to a deeper level of healing relationship, with yourself, and with your clients, call or text me to register.

Here is what students are saying about this class:

"I had my second BioDynamic Craniosacral session with Rose yesterday. Her work is incomparable to any other bodywork I've ever experienced. Her approach is full of intention, and her ability to drop in and be present with the body and follow its rhythms is truly amazing. If you are interested in this work, here is your class, and here is your teacher."

" I think you offer an incredible learning paradigm that is so conducive to transforming the entire way a person lives as well as works. Not only has my work been fundamentally changed, but my spirit and body as well. Everything feels "on" now. I feel connected again, but in a more profound way. There is an ease about the way I move, think, feel and work now that has been missing. I so look forward to more classes with you and Highly recommended you and your teaching to anyone." Donna McArthur

I look forward to seeing you in class
