Certified Resonant Silence Practitioner (CRSP) Training

In this training you will build and nurture a consciousness of stillness within yourself through the art and skills of Resonant Silence Technique (RST) in order to share this silent consciousness and the sound meditations that augment it with those with dementia and other cognitive and neurological conditions for their healing and renewal.

In sharing Resonant Silence Technique (RST) you are your own, best instrument. By this I mean, that your state of consciousness, your quietness within and without and your still presence are the most important healing qualities that you offer. In our training I will often refer to our inner stillness as our “consciousness of quiet.”
