Back in Australia: Etienne Peirsman's Core Transformative Craniosacral Masterclasses 

Gain insights into supporting clients during pivotal life moments, while also reflecting on your own experiences of living, dying, and renewal. It is a wonderful thing when we function optimally and have looked at everything ourselves! We can only take the client as far as we have taken ourselves...

The emphasis of this training is on learning about all that there is between birth and death. You will acquire many practical techniques for your craniosacral treatments and beyond. Etienne imparts his extensive knowledge with ease, generosity and humour. During the classroom practice sessions, he narrates from 'No Mind', parting with deep knowledge and sharing practical scripts for your client treatments.

Course Topics

Masterclass A: Death & Dying - A Craniosacral Approach 

This profound course invites you to explore the journey of death not as an ending, but as a natural, transformative process. Etienne Peirsman weaves a poetic understanding of the body’s disintegration in its final months and weeks, likening this period to being “pregnant with Death.” Together, participants will reflect on life’s crossroads: what has been lived, what remains unspoken, and what lies unexplored. In this deeply reflective and transformative class, we will: 

Explore the emotional and physical phases of dying and how to hold space for someone in their final moments. 

Dive into the inner landscapes of our own lives: regrets, pride, forgiveness, and reconciliation 

Create space to release emotional baggage, becoming pure again, finding clarity, openness, and peace. By practicing letting go of life’s baggage, participants can rediscover their pure essence, preparing to live fully and face death with curiosity and grace

Through the lens of Craniosacral work, delve into the interplay between the mind’s perspective and the realm of no-mind, and learn tools to stay conscious during life’s final transformation.

We will look at all of the above and much more in this class. This isn’t just a class about dying, it’s a class about living so fully and authentically that when death comes knocking, you can greet it with curiosity, free of regrets, and ready to step into the unknown. 

Masterclass B: Birth

The 'Birth' Masterclass celebrates the miraculous experience of entering this world, carrying Nature’s hope and wonder. Etienne leads participants through a journey of reconnection with the lost treasures of our earliest moments: the wisdom of the placenta, the stem cells of the umbilical cord, and the purity of our embryological beginnings. We will engage in vibrational meditations and active processes that cleanse the body and reconnect it to the “pure field of consciousness that is home to our soul.” Through deep exploration of conception, embryology, and the dynamics of family energies, this course offers an opportunity to:

Revisit the roles of Baby, Mum, Dad, Placenta, and Umbilicus.

Reconnect with your Origin - Rediscover the purity and potential of the stem cell energy of the umbilical cord, the wisdom from our placenta and the purity of our embryological beginnings, our body’s original blueprint for healing and regeneration.

Delve into the vibrational development of your heart, thalamus, and anterior cingulate gyrus - key centres for emotional and physiological balance.

Understand the impact of natural, undisturbed birthing on lifelong wellbeing. Reclaim lost placental energy and address the effects of early medical interventions to restore a sense of wholeness.

Release toxins and emotions that do not belong to us.

Reclaim the clarity and vitality of our original, unconditional self.

Etienne shares, "When we re-enter this no-mind field, we will remember what we really are: a pure, unconditional being. In doing so, we will fulfil Buddha’s last word, Samasati: Remember, you are a Buddha."

Testimonials

I have done so many courses, but there is something different about being in this space

"Etienne's presence and teachings are like none that I have experienced before. As a physiotherapist, I have done so many courses, but there is something different about being in this space. Through his teachings, I have learnt to become deeply connected to my own heart and spirit. In doing so, it has not only been a profound personal journey, but it has also expanded my therapeutic presence to provide a safe, neutral, heart centred container for clients to embark on their own healing journey." - Liz Noad, Physiotherapist 

I have been using Etienne teachings with almost all patient that I see

"When I first saw that Etienne was coming to teach in Australia there was no choice but to do the course. Doing the course was amazing, full on at times, but liberating for me. I have been using Etienne teachings with almost all patient that I see. Is beautiful to see the self-healing that happens when one connects and feels where to go. I still keep listening to the recordings and videos that I have from the course to reaffirm and integrate. I’ll be there for his next teachings. Thank you Etienne for the knowledge you share." - Marianna, Craniosacral practioner 

My own practice has evolved with a 'no-mind' approach  

"Learning from Etienne was an absolute pleasure! The 8-day Brain Masterclass was engaging and incredibly enjoyable. My own practice has evolved with a 'no-mind' approach with a new found ease of access to brain/ventricles/heart and also fostering a dialogue with clients while on the table - empowering them in their own healing process. Remarkable stuff! Staying at Krishna Village was next level! The beautiful country, daily yoga (great teachers), and amazing food and people! - What a remarkable and unforgettable setting! This truly was a transformative learning journey that I will always treasure." - Suava, Craniosacral Therapist 

My patients tell me how their treatment has become more meaningful to them on a deeper level

"Etienne's Brain Masterclass was an amazing experience full of tears, laughter and learning. Even though I came with no previous knowledge of Craniosacral Therapy I was able to follow Etienne's teachings and apply them in my practice as a healer. My patients tell me how their treatment has become more meaningful to them on a deeper level. I compare the Craniosacral therapy treatment to fertilising the soil and preparing the garden bed before you can plant the garden. I highly recommend attending Etienne's classes to any healer, therapist and carer. Etienne presents his classes with wisdom, humour and connects with each participant in a way that makes you feel like part of a soul community." - Ayesha, Homeopath, Healer and Therapist 

Etienne’s brain masterclass was life changing for me

"Etienne’s brain masterclass was life changing for me. Even as a total novice I was able to gain so much from the class. He is a master teacher who is endlessly patient and teaches with humour and a lightheartedness that is healing in and of itself. What I found most appealing is that his method of teaching is very empowering - trust yourself and your client’s body to guide and let go into the process. I am incredibly grateful to Dorine for allowing me to join as a novice and to Etienne for his encouragement, patience and willingness to share, guide and lead. Highly highly recommend!" - Alexandra 

I incorporated a lot of new techniques into my coaching and therapy practices

"I came away with a much deeper understanding of how the body works at a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. I attended Etienne's Brain Masterclass in August '24 and loved it. Etienne combines deep technical knowledge of his subject with a bigger picture that our yearning to be whole on all levels. I have gained so much in my own life from his teachings and incorporated a lot of new techniques into my coaching and therapy practices. Thank you so much to Etienne, Toshiko, and Dorine for holding this space so well. I highly recommend Etienne's teaching to anyone who is looking to deepen their practices in any related field." - Clinton Lollback, Mindset Coach 

To watch Etienne practice is to observe a Master

My experience of Etienne Peirsman’s Brain Cranio Masterclass will stay with me forever. Never have I been taught by such a gentle, kind, inspiring, knowledgeable and experienced teacher. When Etienne teaches, a story unfolds: the story of the body, the cells, the organs, the structures, the connections and everything that makes the body what it is. Etienne goes to 'No Mind' and from there, connects with every cell in the body to find healing and balance. To watch Etienne practice Craniosacral Therapy is to observe a Master of an art which we all aspire as practitioners to perfect. - Carole Janiaud, Craniosacral therapist

I learnt a lot and my treatments deepened

A few years ago I was watching a video of Etienne Peirsman treating a child with her mother. It was a "Rebirth treatment". For me, it was like a magic dance, meditative with open eyes of the child and flowing movement in a quiet space. This memory illustrate for me Etienne's term "No mind" when he is guiding us during the seminar. Like the "Wu Wei" of Chinese philosophy: doing without doing.

In his Brain Masterclass, he guided us through his wide knowledge of the Brain's anatomy and functions of brain's parts in the stress cascade. This image of the anatomy and understanding helped us to go deeper in our cranio sacral treatments. Eight intensive days with this very special teacher, modest, human and sometimes funny, but mostly someone who loves people - this was for me an outstanding experience. I learnt a lot and my treatments deepened.  - Esti Pardo, Jerusalem/Israel; Craniosacral therapist, TCM Therapist and Shiatsu Therapist
