Class will start at 9:30am and will end between 4:30 and 5pm. Lunch break will be approximately 1pm and please allow for some flexibility in start and ending times.

Concussions
Concussions are a hot topic these days. When to treat, when not to treat, what to look for and be aware of are all important pieces of information to have as a CranioSacral Therapist. The information available in this study group has been distilled down from Marianne Sisco, developer and teacher of the concussion course offered through the Upledger Institiute. Come join us Tuesday evening VIA ZOOM to ask your questions and engage in discussion of each other's experience working with concussions. REDUCED COST FOR THIS STUDY GROUP $33.33

SER Recorded presentation and live demo
Some of you will be fresh out of SER1 class or CST1 class that was recently presented in St. Louis. These classes have a lot of information to download and grasp so this month we are allowing for you to come watch a live demo to support you integrating this new information into your practice. We will also have a recorded presentation reviewing anatomy and highlighting information that Susie finds most helpful in her everyday practice of SER. Recorded presentation will be available for those who have completed SER1 and above. Live demo is open to all study group members as we would like you to have the opportunity to see where this work can go!

Case Study month
This month we will have a current client of Susie come join us for our study group so you may all get an opportunity to work with a complex presentation with guidance. Since half of our attendees have taken SER classes and above, one will be dedicated to SER and one to CST. We will treat together and have discussion and anyone is allowed at either study group for observation regardless of level of Upledger course taken (ex: you do not have to have taken SER classes to come observe in the SER focused case study). Time is not available for trades when we host a guest for a case study

Straight from the Man himself!
Dr. John Upledger has published so many videos on his work and I have invested in nearly all of the produced footage. I find it so enlightening to watch him teach his own material as he offers insight and experience our current instructors simply cannot. For this month's study group, I will be showing clips of Dr John discussion and demonstrating some of the most useful techniques he developed as well as the associated anatomy and physiology. To hear this man discuss cranial base dysfunctions put it all in perspective for me and I will hopefully facilitate that for all of you this month.

Connecting to our inner wisdom through sound!
Oh I am so excited for this month's study group!
We will be taking a field trip out to Harmony Farms for an experience like no other! The inner wisdom is a foundational principle of CranioSacral Therapy. We know as craniosacral therapists that this inner wisdom is present within all of us, is there guiding and directing our functions and is present in every single cell. Learning how to connect with that and how to listen can be a transformational process. It is also very common for us to be tuned out of hearing our inner wisdom. Past experiences can actually contribute to the blocking of this inner voice. These blocks physically manifest in our tissues, limiting movement, cellular functioning and vibration. With the help of a very talented sound healing practitioner, Dr. Paul Rudy, we will be utilizing sound as a way to bring vibration into our bodies, moving what is stagnant and tuning into what needs to be heard. We will meet at the office, our regular location for study groups, and caravan and carpool out to Harmony Farms from there. We will leave promptly at 10:30a so please arrive early to get organized to head out on time. We will have a brief discussion of the inner wisdom as it relates to this sound healing experience, have a group sound healing session, and then trade sessions to experience this deeper connection to our inner wisdom first hand. You will not want to miss this opportunity.

Cost of this study group will be raised to $85 to accommodate payment for your sound healing session
There will be no Tuesday meeting this month

CST Prep and Review
The Upledger Institute is returning to the Kansas City area June 26-29th. There is always prep work and information to be aware of BEFORE entering any level of CST course including CST 1. In this months study group we will be going over what you need to know before advancing onto the next level of CST. This course will be a great review and as well as opportunity to give and receive the required hands on work between each course. Even if you are not attending the classes being offered later this month, come join us for a chance to understand this work more deeply and connect with fellow practitioners.

Study Groups July - December
Planning too far in advance does not allow for flexibility and flow! As we approach the second half of the year, I will update this page with dates and topics based on our interactions with each other the first half of the year. I will take in feedback and reflect on where we are as a group to plan study group offerings that really meet us all where we are at! Check back around May/June for these new postings! I am excited to see where this year will take us!
