CRANIOSACRAL BIODYNAMICS
FOR PRACTICING CRANIOSACRAL THERAPISTS


Introduction To Craniosacral Biodynamics With Franklyn Sills

The Karuna Institute offers a two-year intensive training in Craniosacral Biodynamics. Franklyn Sills is the course director. He, along with the Karuna teaching staff, has pioneered the theoretical and clinical teaching approaches used in this course. This approach has influenced many other trainings around the world. Franklyn is the author of Craniosacral Biodynamics Vol. 1 & 2, North Atlantic Press.

Craniosacral Biodynamics is an approach that acknowledges the deepest foundations and wholeness of the human system. In this concept, an ordering principle called primary respiration manifests as a vital life force, or biodynamic potency, in the human body. This potency manifests in the fluids of the body and orders and integrates all cellular and tissue function from the moment of conception until death. Students learn to perceive the subtle rhythmic tide-like pulsations that primary respiration generates, and the intention of the work is to re-establish the relationship between it and chaotic and disordered cells, tissues and fluids.

In this course participants will be introduced to some of the fundamental concepts of Craniosacral Biodynamics as taught at the Karuna Institute. The nature of the therapeutic holding environment, the negotiation of touch and contact, and some of the important perceptual processes used in clinical work will be introduced.

Dates: 29 - 31 May 2009 - Fri (eve) to Sun (lunch).
Cost: £150 fully residential. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Payment requested in advance, all payments non-refundable unless the course is cancelled for any reason.
Venue:
The Karuna Institute, Devon

Introduction to Craniosacral Biodynamics With Claire Dolby and Brad Richecoeur

Introducing some of the fundamental concepts of Craniosacral Biodynamics

- the negotiation of touch and contact
- the nature of the therapeutic holding environment
- some of the important perceptual processes used in clinical work

Craniosacral Biodynamics is an approach that acknowledges the deepest foundations and wholeness of the human system. In this concept, an ordering principle called primary respiration is expressed in the fluids of the body as a vital life force, or biodynamic potency, ordering and integrating all cellular and tissue function. Students learn to perceive the subtle rhythmic tide-like pulsations that primary respiration generates, and the intention of the work is to re-establish the relationship between it and chaotic and disordered cells, tissues and fluids.

Claire Dolby and Brad Richecoeur are tutors at The Karuna Institute which offers a two-year intensive training in Craniosacral Biodynamics. Franklyn Sills, course director, along with the Karuna teaching staff, has pioneered the theoretical and clinical teaching approaches used in this course, influencing many other trainings around the world. The next training begins in October 2008.
