Craniosacral Therapy Study Groups
All study groups are open to practitioners who have completed Upledger Craniosacral Therapy 1 (CS1) and beyond, no matter the topic. Have your workbook(s) and skull models handy and join us with any questions you have. For in-person study groups massage tables are provided, but you will need to bring your own rolling stool.
Craniosacral study groups for downtown Chicago or the suburbs are held monthly either in-person or on Zoom. My colleague, Rebecca DeCoster, LMT, CST-T, and I alternately lead the groups; she leads the group in the city, and I lead the group in the 'burbs. Typically, the study groups are held on a weekday in the evening during the second or third week of the month; the group in the suburbs is held in the odd numbered months; and the group in the city is held in the even numbered months (this is subject to change; always check schedule updates below). Since the pandemic we have met on Zoom to keep sharing skills and enthusiasm for CST. We have begun to schedule in-person groups again, but will continue the Zoom meetings as needed for the near future.
