Details of courses for 2010 :
Trauma Skills in Craniosacral Therapy
This course is geared to give the practitioner a basic working knowledge of shock and trauma wihin clinical practice. Work in craniosacral therapy can access trauma-bound energies and related patterns in the central nervous system and in the tissues and fluid fields on the body. This direct access to trauma-bound energy, and traumatic tissue patterns, makes it imperative that the practitioner understands trauma concepts in both therory and practice. The material in this course integrates the work of Dr. Peter Levine, a psychologist with years of experience in trauma work, and work from Core Process Psychotherapy with a biodynamic approach to Craniosacral Therapy. Mornings will generally be spent in theoretical input, experiential processes and demonstration sessions. Afternoons will be spent applying these at the tables within a cranial context.
Areas Explored include:
The stages of the natural response to dangerous or traumatic experience, the orientating response, fight or flight and states of overwhelm, freezing and disssociation.
Meditative/contemplative exercises on the Tides, Stillness and inner resource.
Grounding, pacing and orienting skills.
Awareness of sensations and felt-reality.

"I have attended two postgraduate courses : Dynamic Stillness and Being and Becoming (2006). This beautiful work has reached very deep inside my being. Later on I have noticed my life and relationships changing becoming more fulfilled, light and easy. At a professional level, a deepening and understanding of our being nature is carried through every session."
