Part 2, 2017dates TBA
Module 6 - The Developing Brain; We will uncover the connections of communication between the Brain, Heart and Face as we deepen into Embryological inquiry and look at the cascading neuro network and it's relationship to wholeness, Stillness and Primary Respiration.
Module 7 - The Developing Extremities; We will follow the Embryological development of the arms and legs
and the continuation of growth as a whole to the 8th. We will Review the Triune Nervous System.
Module 8- The Nine Diaphragms; We will learn how the metabolic fields form the diaphragms, palpate the wave which moves through all diaphragms assisting in revitalizing a sense of balanced wholness and palpate the movement/relationships of lungs, respiratory diaphragm and primary respiration.
Module 9 - The Muscles, Bones and Visera; We will learn to palpate the differing gradience and movements
of muscles, bones and visera as they interface with dynamic stillness & primary respiration within wholeness.
Module 10 - Presentation of Clinical Studies; Review 10 Modules and Graduation
BCST Certification Requirements for North American Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America
Foundation Program
RCST® application pre-requisites are met through graduation from a Foundation Training with a BCTA/NA Approved Teacher(s).
The approved teacher and training staff are responsible for presenting the required curriculum. The pre-requisites to apply to be an RCST® are:
The following is the Project for Sarajo Berman's Foundational Series.
Each student will be required to undertake 2 Clinical Case Studies. Each will consist of the Client's Medical & Birth History if known. Research about any illnesses and medications. Each client will receive 8 sessions that will be logged and a clinical summary of the 8 sessions siting changes that have been reported by the client and observed by the practitioner.
The clinical sessions will be included in the 150 sessions and begin between Module 4 and 5. The first client will need to be completed by Module 7 and the second client by Module 9. All 150 logs are due by Module 9 along with any other homework materials outstanding.
