Etienne Peirsman's Death and Dying and Birthing Courses In London
​
Etienne Peirsman, a pioneer in craniosacral therapy, is bringing his poetic and transformative teachings to London for the very first time. Known for his profound exploration of life’s most significant thresholds, Etienne invites students to engage with the mysteries of birth and death—two transformative transitions that define our human experience.
​
With over three decades of practice and teaching, Etienne has developed a unique approach that combines craniosacral principles with meditative practices, vibrational awareness, and deep self-reflection. During these postgraduate courses, Death & Dying and Birthing, ​participants will gain insights into supporting clients during pivotal life moments, while also reflecting on their own experiences of living, dying, and renewal.
​
About the Courses:
Death & Dying
This profound course invites you to explore the journey of death not as an ending, but as a natural, transformative process. Etienne Peirsman weaves a poetic understanding of the body’s disintegration in its final months and weeks, likening this period to being “pregnant with Death.” Together, participants will reflect on life’s crossroads—what has been lived, what remains unspoken, and what lies unexplored.
​
Through the lens of craniosacral work, this class delves into the interplay between the mind’s perspective and the realm of no-mind, offering tools to stay conscious during life’s final transformation. As Etienne writes:
"Death, when one has really lived life, brings such clarity, such aliveness. To stay conscious during this last transformation is something that needs to be practiced at any moment."
​
This course also offers insight into the physical process of dying and teaches how to hold space for someone in their final moments. By practicing letting go of life’s baggage, participants can rediscover their pure essence, preparing to live fully and face death with curiosity and grace.

About the Courses:
Birthing
​
The Birthing course celebrates the miraculous experience of entering this world, carrying Nature’s hope and wonder. Etienne leads participants through a journey of reconnection with the lost treasures of our earliest moments—the wisdom of the placenta, the stem cells of the umbilical cord, and the purity of our embryological beginnings.
​
Participants will engage in vibrational meditations and active processes that cleanse the body and reconnect it to the “pure field of consciousness that is home to our soul.” Through deep exploration of conception, embryology, and the dynamics of family energies, this course offers an opportunity to:
​
-
Revisit the roles of Baby, Mum, Dad, Placenta, and Umbilicus.
-
Release toxins and emotions that do not belong to us.
-
Reclaim the clarity and vitality of our original, unconditional self.
​​
Etienne shares, "When we re-enter this no-mind field, we will remember what we really are—a pure, unconditional being. In doing so, we will fulfill Buddha’s last word, Samasati: remember, you are a Buddha."
