Welcome,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in our second Craniosacral Immersion Introductory Training program to be held at
Pebble Hill Church in Doylestown, PA on Saturday March 22nd from 10:30 am - 4:30 pm. New students are welcome as prior participation is not required.

The program is designed to provide health practitioners and lay students with the basic foundations in applied anatomy and physiology, calibration of touch skills, and a specific therapeutic routine for performing simple and effective Craniosacral Therapy sessions for clients and friends.

We will demonstrate and practice elements from the core 10-step Craniosacral Therapy routine including:

  1. Still Point Induction (CV-4) + Still Point Induction through the Legs/Feet
  2. Diaphragm Releases – Pelvic, Respiratory, Thoracic, & Hyoid
  3. Dural Tube Release - OOC & Sacral Traction + ASIS Press + Rock & Glide 
  4. Frontal Lift
  5. Parietal Lift
  6. Sphenoid Compression/Decompression
  7. Temporal (Ear Pull) Release
  8. Mastoid Wobble & Temporal Twist        
  9. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)
  10. Stillpoint (CV-4)

Further, we will be exploring more specific vault holds and expanding the protocol to reinforce our basic skills [Spoon – Chill – Listen – Journey] approach to this work. We will also be offering casual practice days for students and others to enjoy receiving this wonderful therapeutic work under supervision of a trained practitioner.

The cost of the program is $40 for the day for the use of the space, the facilitator is not receving any fee for offering his services. There will be a brief lunch break (bring your own or go out locally) and we will have water and hot beverages available. To register please email us at craniosacral@nightskysangha.org.

Our instructor & facilitator has studied somatic therapy and contemplative practices for a number of years including CranioSacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Trager Work, Zero Balancing, Kripalu Bodywork, Reflexology, Porlarity Therapy, Matrix Energetics, and other modalities and has taught Craniosacral Therapy and related somatics skills through his former Simple Tools Community in New York City, Kripalu Yoga Center in Lennox, MA, the Medicine Wheel Massage School in Farmington, NM, and at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY.
