Practices taught will include: in-depth sensing methods, practitioner’s posture and ways to facilitate its fluid adaption, sense-oriented and mind-integrated meditations, hand movement techniques, and orientation to craniosacral system stillness.
This is taught via a combination of lecture, and practice of the non-invasive techniques on self and others. There will be non-invasive hands-on work and directed feedback.
It is open to people who have or want to begin to develop a hands-on bodywork practice, for example; craniosacral practitioners, for Yoga and Dance Instructors engaging in touch, massage therapists, healing touch, nurses etc. Course is taught in English with simple German Translation as needed.

CRANIOSACRAL Practice
Craniosacral/Expanded Consciousness sessions have many benefits for wellness including: deeply easing stress, deep rest for the nervous system, increased vitality, unwinding of unwanted habits, and increased general well-being. Craniosacral also has many benefits for Health including; improved eyesight/vision, reduced acute pain, rehabilitation in the neural field, learning disabilities, gross and fine motor problems, developmental delays, autism, headaches, tinnitus, TMJ syndrome, stress disorders, trauma and neurological conditions.
My work with Craniosacral work is a hybrid practice which includes working with expanded consciousness and with Nature. I work co-creatively with each client given one's individuality and needs. Please note that some themes and issues could find resolution in one session, some in three to four sessions and others over time.
Berlin Practice days Monday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.
