BioAquatic™ Exploration classes

All BioAquatic™ Exploration classes have the same basic format and are designed to complement the Upledger core curriculum. The introductory BioAquatic Exploration classes are open to therapists with varying levels of CST training. The Shared Connections BioAquatic Exploration class (BAER) is open to therapists with CST training and people with whom they share a relationship. 

The BioAquatic™ Exploration classes prepare therapists to participate in the Dolphin Accompanied CranioSacral Therapy Integrative Programs (DATIP). In order to be a support therapist in a DATIP, at least one prior BioAquatic Exploration (BAEC, BAES, or BAEA) class is required for all therapists. The BioAquatics: Advanced Dolphin Assisted CST (BADA) class is recommended for all therapists and is required for DATIP Primary Therapists.

The format for the introductory BioAquatic™ Exploration courses includes: Instruction in basic techniques for multihands and aquatic CranioSacral Therapy, as well as dolphin accompanied CST; daily CST sessions; the opportunity for each participant to share and process significant parts of the course & their healing process; a swim with the dolphins; the opportunity to practice BioAquatic CST in the ocean; and the chance to experience a Dolphin Accompanied CST session.

The format for BADA includes daily Dolphin Accompanied CST sessions, and a more focused and in-depth exploration of the practices and principles of CST in general, as well as within the BioAquatic™paradigm.

  • (BAER) This workshop blends CranioSacral Therapy (CST), BioAquatic CST techniques, and relationship enhancement skills. This combination offers the opportunity for participants to share these experiences with someone close to them who does not have a CST background.

    A CST practitioner who meets the prerequisite of having taken CranioSacral Therapy 1 (CS1 in the Upledger curriculum) may bring a non-therapist partner: significant other, colleague, friend, family member- any adult relationship except clients. Each therapist may be joined by up to two others, who are not required to be therapists. They only need to be open to receiving at least one Aquatic CranioSacral Therapy session per day and be supportive of others during their sessions in the water or on the table.

    Individual registrations are not available for this class.
