Presented by David McCauley BScPT VCSW®
18 February 2025 | 7:00pm
As part of our IACST webinar series, this unique session offers a reflective and visionary exploration of the ancestral roots of craniosacral practice, honouring the interplay between spirit, physiology, and land.
Webinar Focus
There is an old African proverb that goes, “You are who you are because of other people.” In this webinar, David McCauley reflects on how this truth applies to the legacy of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, grandfather of osteopathy, whose work was shaped by frontier medicine, indigenous knowledge, and human connection.
David will explore the ancestor spirits of craniosacral work, offering insight into how ancestry and land have influenced this healing modality. This session invites us to deepen our understanding of the spiritual and physiological layers present in our own CST practices.
Please note: This presentation will include meditative elements. To get the most from the experience, please do not listen while driving.
