The courses
The three introductory courses explore some of the most fundamental principles of cranial osteopathy, providing us with a solid foundation for the advanced courses and helping us develop a common language for sharing experiences.
If you have not taken Module 2 at Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy, you must complete the three basic courses before taking the advanced courses.
Even as an experienced practitioner in the cranial field, you will develop a deeper connection with both your own and your patient’s Mechanism. A deeper connection to Health and Stillness serves as a common thread across many levels.
The teaching is relaxed and competent, with a lively mix of theory and practical instruction.
There will be mutual exchange within the group to integrate and share what has been learned, so that together you can expand your field of perception and broaden your horizons. We can continue to refine our own relationship with the space, and it is a great help to receive close supervision in a safe environment, allowing us to become aware of our own pitfalls and habits.

Level 1:
W.G. Sutherland’s Principles & Key Practical Skills
May 17, 2024
In this course, we return to the core of cranial osteopathy and the fundamental practical skills that form the foundation of your own grounding, fulcrums, and mental mindset—all of which are crucial to the patient’s experience on the table and the outcome of your treatment.

Level 2:
Principles Fluids. Directing the Power of the Tide
November 29 & 30, 2024
Our body consists primarily of fluids of varying composition and viscosity. You will learn the principles behind how to draw upon the inherent potency. When you understand this as a principle rather than a specific technique, you can apply it anywhere in the body with great creativity, allowing you to develop, over time, your own techniques that are tailored specifically to you and the person you are treating.

Level 3:
Reciprocal Tension Membrane, including the pelvis
December 1, 2024
Understanding and releasing the RTM as a whole plays a major role in cranial osteopathy. This involves, among other things, allowing the nervous system and bones to breathe freely. It also involves ensuring that the drainage of the skull functions properly and that the pelvis is free and flexible.
