The dura mater is the outermost layer of the meninges, that help to protect the brain and spinal cord.

As fascia that is continuous with nerves that leave the central nervous system, in a way, it also has threads throughout the body, making it an important structure to understand when studying CranioSacral Therapy.

By ensuring there is mobility and (albeit tiny amounts of) glide in this important layer of fascia, CST supports the whole nervous system which can help many different health issues in a way other modalities don’t always reach.

Understanding anatomy isn't just about learning names - it's about appreciating how different structures relate to one another, and how we can work with them.

📚 Anatomy is at the heart of every Upledger CST course. Here’s what’s coming up: https://www.upledger.co.uk/calendars/

Interessante Info…

🧠 Exciting research in PNAS reveals that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) may travel along peripheral nerves to organs throughout the body, creating a direct brain-body communication pathway.

These findings align with the principles of CranioSacral Therapy and Neural Manipulation, which focus on supporting CSF flow and nerve function to promote health and balance throughout the body.

Hallo liebe Craniofreunde, heute teilen wir hier einen Aufruf des CSVD zu einer internationalen Kachelmeditation.
Er ist auf Englisch, weil er über ECSA in ganz Europa verbreitet werden soll.
Vielleicht habt ihr ja Lust, daran teilzunehmen.

Dear Craniosacral family,
June 15 is fast approaching—and we are very excited to have the opportunity to come together again for this special evening session.

As a reminder: On June 15 at 8:30 p.m., we invite you to join us for a tile meditation led by Christine Smith—via Zoom, from wherever you may be.

We’ll start simply: coming together, seeing each other, connecting. Everyone will briefly say their name and the place from which they’re joining—this creates an initial sense of community as soon as we arrive, before we enter into silence together.

And because this gathering deserves a visual representation: We’d like to start by creating a mosaic from the faces of the participants—many small images that together form a larger whole. To do this, we’ll briefly ask if we can take a screenshot of you. Of course, this isn’t mandatory—it’s simply an invitation.

We have room for 100 participants—and the more of us there are, the more powerful the energy.

So: If you haven’t RSVP’d yet—this is your invitation.

June 15 | 8:30 PM | approx. 1 hour | Zoom
Here’s the link you can copy directly into your calendar:

With all our heart,

German Craniosacral Association CSVD

Der gemeinnützige Verein wurde 2025 aufgelöst. Er hatte zum Ziel, die Upledger CranioSacrale Therapie in der Öffentlchkeit bekannt zu machen und das Gesundheitsbewußtsein zu fördern. Es besteht die Möglichkeit, sich weiterhin für die Upledger Craniosacrale Therapie im Rahmen des CSVD´s (CraniosacraltherapeutInnen Verband Deutschland) zu engagieren. Wir sind bemüht, im Sinne von Dr. John die erfolgreichen und augenscheinlich wichtigen Projekte, wie das Intensiv Programm, Share care und Compassionate Touch Helping Hands, in diesem neuen Rahmen weiterzuführen und weiter zu entwickeln. Es wäre schön, dort immer mehr ehemalige Kollegen und neue Gesichter zu treffen.

Eine interessante Studie der Norweger. Wie schön wäre das, wenn wir in Deutschland ebenso die Physio und die CST offiziell so zusammen einsetzen könnten, auch ohne HP Zulassung…

This study highlights the integration of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) with psychotherapy in treating severe trauma and PTSD. This innovative approach reduces physical symptoms, allowing for deeper emotional healing and improved therapeutic outcomes. CST helps alleviate physical pain, enhance self-care, and increase emotional tolerance, paving the way for meaningful recovery.
This research also emphasizes the importance of collaboration with trained psychotherapists to ensure patient safety and maximize benefits.

✨ Honoring the Legacy of Dr. John E. Upledger ✨

On this day, we remember Dr. John E. Upledger (1932–2012), the visionary developer of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) and founder of Upledger Institute International.

This year holds special meaning as we also celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy. For four decades, Dr. Upledger’s groundbreaking vision has touched lives across the globe, inspiring healthcare professionals to carry forward his mission of holistic healing and compassionate care.

We are forever grateful for his passion, his pioneering contributions, and the enduring legacy that continues to shape the future of integrative healthcare.

“Ideally, we should all be able to help each other heal. I believe that everyone on the face of this planet has at least some ability to do that. If you believe you can, and you are willing to open your mind to it, you have unlimited ability to facilitate healing. You can do anything that you allow yourself to do.”
— Dr. John E. Upledger
