The Washington Metropolitan Cranial Study Group presents valuable opportunity for healing practitioners at all levels of experience to deepen and broaden their expertise in the skills of CranialSacral Therapy and Body Mind Healing. The class, taught by Asclepeion co-founders Ron Murray, PT, ND, Doctor of Integrative Medicine, and Martha Bramhall, LISW, draws on the techniques of both traditional psychotherapy and alternative healing modalities. Attendees work in small groups under supervision of Asclepeion faculty or an advanced student. Brief lectures introduce topics such the structure and function of specific bones and organs, palpation techniques, and other assessment and healing tools. Participants are introduced to the Dynamic Colloid Fluid Model of the human body—presented as an aid to a deeper understanding of the operational mechanisms of alternative healing techniques such as CranialSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Myofascial Release, and Body Mind Healing. The ongoing group is open to anyone who has taken CST-I (the first level of CranialSacral Therapy) through an established training program, such as the Asclepeion Center or the Upledger Institute. Note: If you have any questions about these prerequisites or your previous training, please contact Ron Murray at the Asclepeion Center on 301-495-0933, or email him at rsmasclepeion@comcast.net. Meetings of the CranialSacral Study Group are normally held on the second Wednesday night of each month at 8:00 pm. However, no meetings currently are being held, as the staff is on sebatical.
