Upcoming Events
PNE Practitioner Training
The course will be taught by Judith, with assistance from teachers-in-training Sophie Burns and Benjamin Bruckman (Australian PNE coordinator). They will be co-teaching some topics, assisting in retreats, and available for private SRT sessions. To learn more about practitioner training click here.
Instructor Cranial Course
The Cranial Electronic Technique is perhaps the most profound work developed by John Ray, founder of Body Electronics. The sutures of the skull can become calcified, and when that happens, the natural micromovements of the bones are lost. The cranial work breaks through calcification in the skull and in doing so, it also restores the resilience of the brain and the nervous system.
In the course of cranial point-holding, deeper, hidden levels of trauma that are held within the calcified sutures may come to the surface of consciousness to be healed. The cranial point-holding can take us to the healing of genetic levels of trauma and into higher dimensions, conversations with deceased ancestors, on and on. With freer movement in the sutures restored, our natural abilities of intuition and inner vision and our spiritual connection are enhanced.
This course is intended for training instructors in the cranial work. It is open to both PNE teachers and practitioners. Practitioners don’t have to have taken the cranials course before. Although the cranio-sacral work is not required for practitioner certification, practitioners are encouraged to take either the basic cranials course or the instructor course to provide a deeper foundation for their own personal development. Cranials are required for PNE teachers and the Instructor course is especially recommended. Quite aside from the professional requirements, the cranial work is encouraged for your own personal development.
To register, text or email Judith Johnson at 828 773-3445 or judithajohnson@mac.com.
The fee of $695 for the course is due upon arrival. You may pay in cash, check, or through Zelle.
You will be responsible for your own room and board. The kitchen will be available should students want to prepare food together.
Cranial Instructor Course
This program is designed for PNE teachers and teachers in training. There may also be a few spots open for practitioners who have previously taken the cranials course. Please check with Judith; this course is by invitation only.
The course will include advanced work on the social engagement system including very specific massage techniques to work with the musculoskeletal and nervous systems as they impact social engagement.
Fee: $795
The fee includes lunch each day. It does not include a place to stay.
The course will be held at Judith’s home at 329 Eden Dr., Hillsborough, NC. Students will be asked to stay in a nearby Airbnb as a group.
European Practitioner Training Course
Judith will spend the month of June in Germany, with both a final retreat for the current class of practitioner trainees and a first retreat for a new training group. She is teaching these trainings with Sieglinde Hieronymous. Dates for the trainings in June have not yet been set.
This Germany–based Practitioner Training Course, while organized primarily for German and European participants, is open to anyone who is conversant in English and can make it to the initial retreat in Germany.
This is a year-long program dedicated to learning PsychoNeuroEnergetics (PNE). PNE addresses all levels of the body, emotions, mind and spirit to heal the devastating effects of trauma.
