Virtual CranioSacral Immune Response Study Groups by Emily Klik LMT CST-T

Virtual CranioSacral Immune Response Study Groups, supporting Upledger's CSIR Curriculum

These monthly 90-minute virtual study groups are designed to deepen and extend the work of the CSIR curriculum in an ongoing, community-based format. Groups typically meet on the second Tuesday of the month from 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm Central Time.

Topics rotate through the rich terrain of immune-related anatomy and physiology — including immune function, inflammation, and viruses — as well as specific aspects of the CSIR curriculum and how to apply them directly in client sessions. Each study group begins with a brief review of the Upledger paradigm. Topic requests are welcome, and you're encouraged to submit questions in advance by email.

Prerequisite: Prior attendance at any of the following is required for participation: CSIR, CSIREX, CSIRAB, CSIRPE, or CSIRTH

Upcoming topics:

November 10th, 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm Central Time

Supporting Digestive Tissues during inflammatory flare-ups, featuring GERD, celiacs, Crohn’s and diverticulitis.

Supporting Digestive Tissues during inflammatory flare-ups, featuring GERD, celiacs, Crohn’s and diverticulitis

📅 Tuesday, Nov 10th 2026 | 5:00–6:30 pm Central

To follow the CSIRAB class in October, we'll review the digestive pathway, doing a deeper dive into a few common conditions along the way. Conditions that seem to be increasingly common in my practice: GERD, celiac disease, Crohn's disease, and diverticulitis. We'll discuss inflammatory flare-ups and how they influence autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation, and we'll finish with tips to ease the severity of flare-ups, along with ANS balance.
We'll also touch on polyps, as this condition can affect the epithelial tissue of the digestive system.
Our guided practice will include an exploration of the digestive system and an opportunity to offer support to your digestive tissues.

Note: CST is a complementary practice and does not replace medical care. This group focuses on supporting the immune system, nervous system and overall well-being alongside a client's medical treatment team.

This group is for CST practitioners wanting to deepen their skill in supporting clients through serious illness, with space for questions.

MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), how to support with CSIR/ CST

📅 Tuesday, Dec 8th 2026 | 5:00–6:30 pm Central

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is an immune condition where specialized white blood cells called mast cells become overactive and release inflammatory chemicals (like histamine) too often or without a clear reason.
During this study group, we’ll do a deeper dive into MCAS. Including how it shows up, how it is diagnosed, what contributes to and can trigger it, and finally… how can we support clients with CST and CSIR approach.

Our guided practice will include an exploration of the mast cells, the nervous system, and an opportunity to offer support to your mast cells and regulation.

How to apply the CSIR approach

📅 Tuesday, Feb 9th, 2027 | 5:00–6:30 pm Central

Following our January CSIR virtual class, this study group will deepen your understanding of the immune system. We'll review its three layers, practice palpating inflammation and immune cell activity, and learn to distinguish acute from chronic inflammation by touch. We'll also explore how to support inflammatory conditions that flare from ANS triggers and dysregulation.

Registration opens in December.
