Client Sessions and Self-Study:

- Anatomy Videos and Electives: I apologize for the delay on Module 4 content as we have been searching for a video editor and video editing software to make this massive undertaking of editing 60 hours of content easier. We have someone helping us now and videos 11-20 will begin to be released this week. Please take the Anatomy in at your leisure but don’t allow yourself to get too far behind. The content is intended to enhance what you’re learning in other classes.

Thank-you all for your dedication and hard work! I’m so excited about the work you’re doing and looking forward to growing together

Warm Regards,

Brian

Get ready to learn more about the 6 pointed Star this module! This psychophysiological pattern is the core relationship of yin and yang in the human system, the interrelationship of consciousness and physical form.

Save the Date for our Fall Practicum (Module 6): October 2-6th in San Francisco. We will bed deepening our relationship with the autonomic nervous system, and looking specifically at Structural Balancing — how to help a client’s physical structure to release tensional patterns and restore energetic balance. We will work extensively with the back/ spine, the sacrum, and the relationship of the head to the pelvis. This important practicum will set us up for the first practicum in 2025 on Craniosacral work.

From Foundation to Integration: the Intermediate Program

As we step into 2024, I am thrilled to launch our Intermediate Program, delving into the human system with greater depth and understanding. Our learning will be organized around the five-pointed star in the spring and the six-pointed star in the fall—energetic patterns that reflect the psychophysiology of the human being. In this Level you will gain:

  • A deeper understanding of the interrelationship of body structure (musculoskeletal patterns), visceral/organ function, the nervous system, and mental-emotional processes.

  • The capacity to work with the back and spine, to work on clients lying face down, on their sides, or seated.

  • Tools to more effectively support persons who are dealing with musculoskeletal pain, spinal imbalance, as well as imbalances in various organ systems (reproductive, digestive, cardiovascular, nervous system, endocrine system, immune system).

  • Tools to work more skillfully with the body-mind connection and resolve energy blockages, tracing how mind and emotions influence physiology and vice versa.

Module Breakdown:

  • Module 4 (Jan-Apr): Immerse yourself in the Five-Pointed Star. The pattern traces the relationship between unconscious mind patterns/ emotions, visceral (organ) and musculoskeletal patterns, the nervous system, and vocalization/ self expression. It is an integrative pattern that can help you better support people who have challenges with physical pain, nervous system imbalance, or challenge in digestive, reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and endocrine systems.

  • Learn how to work with structural balancing - tracing physical patterns to resolve energy blockages.

Key Dates for Module 4: (all times Pacific)

Additional Components for Module 4:

Anatomy videos enhance your learning during the module and are required to graduate, but can be taken in at your own pace. We will have a special focus on the musculature and bones in this module.

  • Remote Trades: Engage in two remote trades with classmates, providing opportunities to practice communication tools from a distance and gain support.
