Phenogenesis: The Process of becoming Visible

Elissa Dell

About the Course

This foundation course has been designed to provide a perceptual framework to embryology. It aims to de-mystify the subject and make what can be very abstract concepts accessible and relatable. There will be an opportunity to develop perceptual skills, exploring ways of letting the Embryo tell us about itself: providing the means of moving from theory and isolated pictures to finding a felt-sense based relationship to the actual embryological forces that these images describe.

We will draw on a broad base of information in order to view the material through different lenses.

Sometimes what appears to be a meandering path takes us to the place we have always meant to be.



From university to art college with numerous jobs supporting my life as a painter I found myself in a class on Cranio sacral therapy realizing that this was going to be big. That was 1991, and since then my life has centered around this modality of healing. CST has evolved hugely during this time and continues to at a pace; I love being both part of the community and around those who are taking it further, as a practitioner, student, and teacher. In recent years I have been creating postgraduate courses under the broad heading of Phenogenesis: The Process of Becoming Visible.

This is for me a spiritual practice that enables a deep embodied presence.

I trained with Thomas Attlee and spent many years teaching at the college of Craniosacral therapy, later studying with and assisting Hugh Milne in his Visionary Craniosacral Work.
