CASE STUDY: Craniosacral Therapy Educational TrustTraining with a biodynamic perspectiveThe Trust offers two year part-timePractitioner Trainings in CraniosacralTherapy, regular introductory weekends and afoundation course in Living Anatomy.The Trust has been providing practitionertrainings in Craniosacral Therapy since 1989 andhas become established as a school of excellenceoffering in-depth courses in a clear and accessibleway.Trainings follow a biodynamic perpective ofcraniosacral work. This approach is based onworking with the underlying forces that organiseour form and function. It was originallydeveloped by Dr William Sutherland, whodiscovered there are a series of subtle rhythmicmovements that may be sensed in the body whichbring order and integration to both body andmind. Dr Sutherland realized these rhythms areessentially produced by our inherent life force,which he called the Breath of Life.The Breath of Life acts as our most fundamentalorganising force which governs all other aspectsof our physiological functioning. Therefore, thefree and balanced expression of this rhythmicmotion is essential for our health and well-being.In this training, skills of palpation, perception andtreatment are cultivated in a supportive andcreative environment. The training is fullyaccredited by the Craniosacral TherapyAssociation UK. In addition, the Trust offersexperiential foundation courses in ‘LivingAnatomy’ and regular Introductory Weekends,designed for those interested in gaining first handexperience of Craniosacral Therapy and ourteaching approaches before entering into a fulltraining programme.For further information, prospectus and applicationform contact: Craniosacral Therapy EducationalTrust, 78 York Street, London W1H 1DP T: 07000785 778 E: info@cranio.co.uk W: www.cranio.co.ukCASE STUDY: The International Register ofConsultant Herbalists and HomoeopathsCommitted to traditional and natural thinkingThe International Register of ConsultantHerbalists and Homoeopaths is a training bodyin Open University style, unique in its total commitmentto traditional, natural thinking.
