Intro to biodynamic craniosacral work with pat o’rourke
Come and explore the profound and subtle world of craniosacral work. This 15-hour class combines anatomy, theory, and hands-on techniques in a way that makes the subject interesting and directly applicable to your practice.
In two days we will gracefully explore the boundaries that allow safe and effective contact between client and practitioner. You will learn to work with the basic healing forces or tides in the body, and to help vitalize the amazing healing capacities we all have.
The course will include:
The basic history and origins of biodynamic craniosacral work
Specific anatomy of the cranium, meninges, and nervous system
Discussion of the different internal movements of the craniosacral system: the cranial rhythmic impulse, mid-tide, and long tide
An introduction to the perception of the cranial rhythms
Working with boundaries and grounding techniques
Numerous techniques for the sacrum, upper neck, and head that can be easily integrated into a massage session or stand on their own
Developing an effective treatment plan using the techniques presented
"Pat's craniosacral classes elegantly combine deep intuition, palpatory sensitivity, and anatomical intelligence. Pat's cranial teaching is rare if not unique in the way that it skillfully combines craniosacral work, structural work, and everyday practice. Her classes are both profound and practical." -Brian Utting
Please note that students will be required to wear masks, except when they interfere with receiving a particular technique.
