About The Witness Class, Craniosacral Rhythms, Inner Stillness
"Participate in this class and discover the importance of being present, still, neutral and energetically engaged in order to encourage the body to heal itself--essentially and ultimately learning 'How to Be a Witness.'" -- Don Ash
Pre-requisite: SE1 or advanced CST class equivalent
In this three-day workshop--typically held every other year--we explore the power of THE MOST neutral stance as therapist/facilitator, that of Witness. This class is designed to open the therapist to the natural elements of life -- breath, water and awareness -- in order to cultivate a deeper appreciation for the craniosacral rhythms, our breath, and inner stillness.
