The Craniosacral Classroom, now 100% donation based

When covid happened and patients started to have lessened or sometimes entirely loose their whole incomes, I changed the structure of my practice to allow either a regular rate, or a donation based rate, meaning a patient can tell me what is doable for them to access care, and for however long the work needed, care is given.

Over the weekend I began creating an online community for my patients, and geared to the public, in sharing practices that help my health, in hopes it may help their health, to move from patient to participant in their own care. There will be nourish with Matt, meditate with Matt, read with Matt, Travel with Matt, Muse on Life with Matt, - and I've called it, with Matt, and placed it on the buy me a coffee platform as a completely donation based offering.

As I sat with it, I began to feel, this space should be the same, 100% donation based. If you look in the membership offerings, no longer will there be the freemium, and then an upgrade to the webinars and then an upgrade to . . . etc . . . the classroom space will be free.

Instead it will be either: free, choose $10 support, choose $50 support.

There will be no change in the information offered from one tier to the next.

I will give what I can.

You absorb what is needed.

If it resonates with you, please choose a support option.

Please share with others and grow the community.

What I cannot make free is our in person classes, but perhaps you may be inspired to join the core curriculum of the Milne Institute, or the adjunct curriculum I have developed in Chinese Medicine Concepts in Craniosacal and Visceral Contacts, somewhere around the world. I also still need to charge for online one on one or small group mentorship.

And this community has grown quite a bit in short time, to 150 members over 17 countries and counting, I feel deeply honored to hold this space together.

As in the videos, it is about let's learn together.

This year we will continue to focus in on the embyrology, movement, articulations, nerve and vascular innervations, meridian energetics, biological mysticism or poetry, of each major cranial bone and sacrum.

Next year, we will take each of the 12 primary meridians and once a month focus on their path, their points, their energertics, and their overlays with craniosacral work.

I am going to start 'offering homework' before the webinars, so I moved this upcoming webinar to the 13th, and in a separate post I am going to share the "homework," meaning reading selections from books, I'll deposit the online course material for you to look at, and then we will come together and discuss in greater depth on Wednesday the 13th.

I am playing with the idea of offering casual coffee sessions at different times once a week reflective of the different time zones so I can meet as many of you as possible and answer questions about this work. Give me an extra moment to bring that together.

As many of you know, I am tech challenged.

Just a moment ago, I was trying to figure out how to change the permissions in the classroom space so you can all view it. I am STILL trying to figure that out. That kind of tech challenged.

I have brought a new computer.

I have also brought a video camera that should allow me to present like the way I teach in class and give you better clarity of the anatomy we are viewing.

If you are already a member on the paid tier, it should automatically shift to $10.

If you wish to change your settings to any tier, click your profile photo, settings, change, pick your tier.

In recap:

Online - Donation Based, if it resonates, please support.

Come take an in person classes - Australia Melbourne C1 June - and - the first module of Chinese Medicine Concepts upcoming in England in September.

I am glad to be here together.

Let's learn together.

Matthew
