To become a Tibetan Cranial practitioner, a two to three year program of instruction, study and practice is required. We call this process “Apprenticeship” in the same way other fine crafts have been taught throughout history. Master teacher Shar Lee conducts five-day retreats held twice a year, and monthly training clinics in which apprentices learn through direct instruction and practice. Apprentices are required to independently work on 108 people in a years time as practice. Clinics are another form of training important in learning this work. Out of state apprentices may not be able to attend all monthly clinics but they are required to attend all 5 day retreats and at least one clinic in between.
Shar’s teaching style is hands-on and nurturing. In addition to the in-depth teaching of TC®, Shar teaches the apprentices yoga, meditation, and mantra, or prayer. This enables each person to enter a calm, receptive state. This forum also allows for Tibetan Cranial to be taught in its original Eastern style: non-verbally, tactually and intuitively.
Apprentices develop the ability to hear the language of the pulses in order to know exactly what each client needs. Consequently they must have a great deal of patience and humility. The development of these skills takes time and dedication. Tibetan Cranial requires the apprentice and practitioner to have a strong spiritual practice that sustains the sacred state of prayer or mantra during the session. Connection to Spirit allows for information to be received and understood in a more precise way, thus opening the possibility for the client to heal from within.
We have formed the Tibetan Cranial Association dedicated to the survival of this ancient modality. We are currently seeking people who are interested in studying Tibetan Cranial and are willing to enter the life-changing process it requires. Apprentices learn to help many different people and will carry on Tibetan Cranial for the benefit of future generations.
"The Apprentices have to have a strong Spiritual Presence in order to understand and sustain this work. It doesn't matter what tradition, if any, they practice, just that they have some Spiritual Practice. Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Tree-hugger - it doesn't matter. This is a universal healing revelation." ~ Shar Lee

We had an exceptional apprentice training at the Shambhala Mountain Center in October, 2006! The 5 day forum was a groundbreaking experience for everyone involved! We want to thank the new apprentices for their willingness to fully immerse themselves in the process of learning Tibetan Cranial. We have great aspirations that the seed of knowledge you have planted will sprout up and blossom into a vibrant flower of knowledge.
This experience was unforgettable; we look forward to seeing you all in the Spring!
