Living within the Calm of a Flowing Heart: A One-Year Advanced Study for Healing Practitioners
A ten-month course of study, Living within the Calm of a Flowing Heart offers healing practitioners the opportunity to increase their skills across a range of dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The day-long, once-a-month class, taught by Asclepeion Center co-founders Ron Murray, PT, ND, Doctor of Integrative Medicine, and Martha Bramhall, LICSW, draws on the techniques of both traditional psychotherapy and alternative healing techniques.

The aim of the course is to help those in the healing arts grow in their ability to effect positive change in clients’ physiology, psychological defense mechanism, negative cognitions, and negative beliefs. An underlying purpose of the course is to help practitioners open their own hearts to a fuller capacity for compassion. Lectures cover such topics as the structure and functions of specific bones or muscles; palpation of visceral organs; and ways of integrating insight breakthroughs that clients may experience during an energetic healing session.

Students are introduced to the Dynamic Colloid Fluid Model of the human body as an aid to more deeply understanding the operational mechanisms of alternative healing techniques, such as CranialSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Myofascial Release, and Body Mind Healing.

Practitioners taking the course also bring up any professional problems or challenges for group discussion.

The day-long session begins with tea at 8:30 and a quick review, with a lecture scheduled to begin at 9:00. Each session, students work in dyad (pairs), practicing the skills presented in the lecture. The faculty moves among the dyads, facilitating and coaching the process.

One student per month receives an extended, multiple hands-on, experiential, energetic healing session from all students and faculty.

Candidates must have completed course work equal to CST-I & CST-II (first and second levels of CranialSacral Therapy) and SER-I (first level of SomatoEmotional Release) from an accredited training program, such as the Upledger Institute.

The class is limited to ten participants.

This class is currently unavailable while the staff is on sebatical. Check back at a later date, as it may be offered again in the future.

Where: The class meets at the Asclepeion Center in the Forest Glen area of Silver Spring.

When: 8:30-5:30, one Saturday per month for ten months.

Cost: $1,500.00, which can be paid in quarterly installments of $375.00. Includes materials.
