Aside from the anatomy, tides, fulcrums, etc... this work is about co-creating a safe relational field in the classroom setting for all people present. To be a practitioner it requires those in the class to work with their shadow. It is common to have strong feelings be they negative or positive during this training. A huge part of this class has to do with learning to settle your own nervous system so that you can help others do that. Since it is a classroom setting rather than a clinical therapeutic setting it is not appropriate to expect the teacher, TA's, and other students to be the main source of healing around what comes up for you in relationship to the class. You are required to receive supervision during the class at least once a module. Getting support is very helpful. Supervision outside of class is an extra cost to the training that you should budget for during the training.

This is a professional training, we do our best to model a container for relational field safety. A certain level of self-reflection, maturity, flexibility, trust, kindness, empathy, and generosity is required to take this training. The training requires each student to be in stable psychological, and physical health.

Class attendance and supporting a safe relational field for all is the basis for graduation. Relational field safety for all present in the classroom includes TA's and teachers.

We support the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Our country has not supported, and protected Indigenous, Black, and People of Color/IBPOC  for over 400 years.  We support healing for those that have suffered in our country. Our goal is to do the following to begin a lifelong process of repair:

1.)  Offer an optional discount to Indigenous, Black, and People of Color, to support having more BIPOC teachers and practitioners. 

2.) Teach BIPOC inclusion in our curriculum. 

3.) Include  LGB/trans/queer imprints in our curriculum. ​

4.) Teach creating a safe relational field in the class.

5.) Use pronouns that people choose to identify with.  

6.) Encourage people to make repair in class when they have hurt others feelings.

7.) Encouraging voices of BIPOC to be heard more in the biodynamic craniosacral community. 

8.) Encouraging voices of LGBTQ voices to be heard more in the biodynamic craniosacral community. 

A note about State requirements to practice...

Massachusetts

Since this is a new profession there are no state licenses currently. In Massachusetts you can practice this work without another degree such as massage therapy. 

New York

Craniosacral falls primarily under the massage therapy license. In other words, massage therapists have claimed it for themselves and are politically active in trying to make sure that other practitioners don't do it. Interestingly, it is not within the scope of practice of acupuncturists in NY (although we can do hands on therapy nonspecifically). Physical therapists, doctors, nurses, podiatrists, and chiropractors have an exemption that allows them to officially practice cranialsacral therapy. Ministers can touch therapeutically, but according to NYS law they can't practice craniosacral therapy. However many folks practice biodynamic craniosacral therapy in New York without fulfilling these guidelines which are poorly mandated. 

Miscellaneous Info about licensing and practicing.

Each state has its own set of rules. You would have to check the state that you are interested in practicing in, if you do not already have a license such as massage therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy, etc...

You can contact the biodynamic craniosacral therapy association of North America:  Judicial & Governmental Review Chair.  He may be able to help you state by state... on how to find out what is required to practice BCST...
