Dear CST friend,
We wanted to wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR and share with you some of the latest news here at the CST Alliance:

Big Time Deal on Lodging Just Announced by Star Island!
In the last few days we learned of several new ways to save for students attending our CADD class (CST Around Death and Dying) this summer. Star Island is offering room and board discounts (up to 30%), grants, scholarships, and even a raffle this season, so this may be the year for you to experience the celebration of life and the natural flow of living by attending our CADD class. Star Island is a place that offers natural reflection and opportunities to witness the natural rhythms of light, land, water, birds, seals, whales and people all feeling the same gratitude. CADD is a four day class plus two days allowed for travel to and from the island. In all it is a six-day experience you won't want to miss. There will be deadlines for each of the discounts and they will be posted to our website as details are announced by Star Island. Call Jill today at 603-948-2820 and let her know you're interested in attending CADD this summer and want to save on lodging. Pre-requisite is SE1 or equivalent (SER) training and practice.

Just Released: Cranial Circle #55 "Teacher as Self" Part 1 of 3
We have just published the first of three "Circle" articles focused on teaching. This Circle article discusses the important role the teacher plays when it comes to providing quality education. We are happy to say that our faculty is growing with new individuals who understand the important role of the teacher. Our teachers are branching out in new locations of the United States (and beyond) and teaching high quality CST education to students of every level, who in turn bring better CST treatments to their clients. I hope you will find these essays moving, informative and interesting for your practice and your life. Watch for additional articles to come approximately every two weeks.

Excerpt: "As parents, friends, colleagues, as well as citizens, we are all teachers. We teach by example, knowledge, wisdom and experience. Sometimes we teach those who are in our spheres of influence what to do and sometimes what not to do. As therapist, colleague, friend and as an aging human, the more I find myself in the role of teacher."
The CST Alliance is renewed, refreshed and ready to work together to move CST forward in the new year!
Happy Day,
Don Ash, PT, CSTA-CP
