CranioSacral Therapist Spring Retreat
IMLC presents a CST/SER Study Group Retreat for Therapists who have completed Upledger Institute SER1. We will be deepening our CST skills and techniques, while enjoying community and being supported by nature. We hope to provide a healing container in which you can continue your own work, ask questions, practice, and explore CST skills and techniques with others, while being supported by skilled study group leaders who provide support for many of the workshops you have taken. If you have taken SERTIP or have used a creative process in your own work, we hope you will join us on Wednesday night as we kick off the retreat with a creative share. Please bring any expression of your process in art, music, dance, or other creative process you would like to share with the group. These processes are welcome to be used throughout the retreat, but not required. Mostly, just bring yourself.

Meet Your Hosts
Erin I. FinzenLMT, CST-D, CLTErin has been a bodywork professional for over 22 years. She currently lives and practices her integrated approach to body work in Indiana, PA at Indiana Massage & Lymph Clinic. As a CST Diplomate Therapist, she strives to support others in the CST community through serving as a Certified Teaching Assistant with the IAHP Community and hosting CST Study Groups at her clinic as well as several CST Study Group Retreats throughout the year. She started hosting retreats when she found a need in both herself and in others to have time away from their life’s demands in order to have space to do their own work. With a deep love for nature and need for community to support the process of healing, learning, and connecting, she found herself creating just that.

Wellness with Nature
Resting on 150 acres, River Mountain is bordered by Sweet Root Creek, Warrior Ridge and Tussey Mountain. River Mountain's stunning spaces are designed for reflection, mindfulness, and good vibrations on your self-care journey. Creekside yoga platforms, a restored barn turned wellness space, and the calm of nature make this the ideal destination for peace and wellness.
Located just a few hours from D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh, in the mountains of Pennsylvania, River Mountain is remote yet easy to access.
History
Warrior Path
Running parallel to River Mountain's eastern ridge is Warriors Path, the great Iroquois Indian highway from Six Nations country, New York, to the Catawba country in the Carolinas. The historic path along Sweet Root Creek was one of the longest and most heavily traveled land routes in eastern North America, connecting Indigenous peoples over hundreds of miles.
The Underground Railroad
Black Valley was an active route along the Underground Railroad. Local histories principally credit four, free black residents with leading the aid network in this area: Rev. John Fidler, Elias Rouse, Joseph Crawley, and James Graham. Just to the south of the River Mountain property are 13 unmarked graves of enslaved people who died traveling the route to freedom.
