Sacred Touch Biodynamic Craniosacral Work
Mentorship Training and Certification Program
We are now accepting applications for the Initiatory Training as well as the year-long Mentorship training for 2024-2025! Graduates who complete all requirements will be certified in Biodynamic Craniosacral Work as a Heaven Earth Circle Sacred Touch Practitioner.
Graduates of Heaven Earth Circle's Sacred Touch Biodynamic Craniosacral Work Mentorship Training will be uniquely qualified to support the emergence of a new sacred worldview that includes a balance between the divine feminine and divine masculine principles. We seek to integrate scientific biological understanding into a greater sense of inherent balance in manifest reality which rests upon a holistic, consciousness-based metaphysics. In Sacred Touch, the subject-object dichotomy assumption is denied from the outset. The Truth is that Oneness is implicit, and thus life is a manifestation of Divine Love. In Biodynamic work, we call this principle the Breath of Life.
This is a nondual healing arts school of applied biophysics. Students will learn to embody profound stillness, heal trauma, integrate ancestral patterns, and go beyond current limited medical paradigms in the transcendence of incoherent mental and physical conditioning. This work is profoundly transformative for both healer and client on all levels: body, mind, and heart-spirit. It is appropriate for those who already love or who wish to make a deep dive into both meditation and healing touch work. This is a program for those who are ready to plunge into the darkness in themselves and to surrender their preconceptions about anatomy, the nature of reality, and their own limited identity as an ego-mind. This is a practice for those on the sacred path of spiritual transformation for the benefit of all beings.

Sacred Touch is a non-medical, non-tissue manipulation approach to the ancient practice of laying on of hands. The State of Oregon Massage Therapy codes state that this type of non-medical, non-tissue manipulation work (other examples include Reiki, Orthobionomy) do not require a massage license if the practitioner is certified by a national or international organization.

Instructor Training and Program Background Information:
Matthew Sieradski has been practicing as an acupuncturist and herbalist since 2004. In 2009, after a profound spiritual awakening, he was guided by intuition to begin learning and practicing craniosacral work. He completed the core program of Upledger Institute between 2010 and 2014. He then went on to complete the 2-year, 13-module classroom and practice hours for the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America, under the BCST-NA Association President Robyn Michelle Jones between 2016 and 2018. He then completed a 50-hour Private Mentorship Training alongside his wife Hiromi with Charles Ridley, founder of the Dynamic Stillness School of Biodynamic Cranial Work in 2018. Finally, he and Hiromi completed the five-module group Mentorship Training in Biodynamic Cranial Approach with Giorgia Milne in 2019. He also assisted Giorgia during an Initiatory Training in Sydney, Australia in the Autumn of 2018. He has over 10,000 hours of clinical experience applying craniosacral methods with clients over the course of the past 14 years. For several years, his own intuition and requests from clients and teachers have been guiding him to begin teaching craniosacral work and he is happy to finally be offering this work to students who feel similarly called to service. His beloved wife Hiromi and long-time student Ashby Klenk will be assisting in all courses.
Heaven Earth Circle's Sacred Touch Biodynamic Craniosacral Work Mentorship Training and Certification Program is deeply informed by Matthew's nearly three decades of intensive spiritual development and body-mind integration studies.

Matthew and Hiromi guide students on the path, teach silent meditation retreats, and work to raise the consciousness vibration on planet earth. Their spiritual teachings are undertaken as a labor of love. The Sacred Touch Program is designed to facilitate the emergence of spiritually awake and embodied healers capable of sharing unshakable faith in the Breath of Life and dedicated to guiding humanity towards reconnection with Mother Earth during this pivotal time of planetary change.
