Biodynamic Cranial Touch-The Initiatory Course

Still the body, still the mind, still the voice inside; in silence, feel the stillness move.Dear friends, this feeling cannot be imagined. -Kabir

This class is a 4 day introduction to the approach of biodynamic work as presented by Charles Ridley in his book, Stillness. Through the transmission of this practice we, and our clients, open to encounters with primary respiration of the Breath of Life. The course is designed for you to progressively recognize, develop and maintain direct connection to the Breath of Life, which, according to biodynamic cranial philosophy, is the power that made the body, heals the body and evolves
consciousness.

Milne Institute formerly offered this class as Beyond the Stillpoint, the original name given to it when Charles was developing this approach. I have had the fortunate honor to continue it and the name change simply reflects the crystallization of his approach into a formal teaching.

For students and practitioners of the Visionary Approach who have already been presented a foundation in the full spectrum of mechanical, functional and biodynamic principles, this class serves as a deepening and clarification of that which is more purely defined as biodynamic craniosacral. It serves as a stand alone class as well as prerequisite to further study in the Dynamic Stillness school of Charles Ridley – www.dynamicstillness.com.

Students and practitioners from outside the Milne Institute are also welcome. I am called to honor craniosacral lineage and history in how I present this class and it is also true that one does not necessarily need to be a craniosacral practitioner to experience, integrate and transmit the qualities and principles of the work. “This too is true.” Acceptance is by interview with me.

This is the kind of friend you are. Without making me realize my soul’s anguishedhistory, you slip into my house at night and while I am sleeping you silently carry off allmy suffering and sordid past in your beautiful hands. - Hafiz
