About the training
A 2-year foundation training program with over 700 hours of instruction for anyone interested in becoming a practitioner of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. The training provides an ecosystem for safe and nurtured personal transformation that supports participants to become dynamic and grounded practitioners. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy works with the primary, intelligent organizing force of life. This force is unconditioned and free, it is considered the primary animating intelligence of existence. The Biodynamic Approach to Craniosacral Therapy refers to this as the Breath of Life. It supports and is Health. Practitioners learn to orientate to the Breath of Life and be present in their relationships with their clients, acknowledging and differentiating the conditional forces within the client and supporting the many expressions of Health that emerge.
