Although each Chapterhouse is staffed with Proctors and equipment for the training of Sisters, commonly young Sisters train on Wallach IX, the site of the Mother House, until their special abilities are honed.
During early adolescence the children of the Chapterhouse are taught together: the lessons of prana-musculature and bindu-nervature are refined; anatomy is memorized; dissecting cadavers stretches mnemonic muscles aiding the 'look-inward.' As adult muscles grow, motor skills are honed to pure tone and self-defense and aggressive maneuvers are taught.

 Chapterhouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chapterhouse were a British shoegazing band of the early 1990s, originally from Reading, England.
Chapterhouse eventually escaped from that genre only to find themselves thrust amongst the shoegazer groups of 1991 (with the likes of Lush, Ride, Moose and Slowdive), so called because of the bands' static live shows and insular music.
Chapterhouse eventually signed to the newly formed Dedicated label, releasing a series of lavishly acclaimed singles, including "Pearl," which reached the UK Top 75, and which revelled in distorted melodies and attracted a healthy following.

 Hunters of Dune The Ultimate Review « memoirs on a rainy day
When I started Hunters of Dune, I was very happy to note that the general tone of the book and the chapters had greatly improved from their previous series, Legends of Dune.
Contrary to Legends of Dune, even if this is a time of turmoil in the Dune universe, there aren’t that many stories and things happening at once like in the Battle of Corrin, which was, in my opinion, a major flaw of their writing style.
It is like the Sorceresses of Rossak from the Legends of Dune trilogy and their telekinetic abilities; Frank Herbert never said or implied that the Bene Gesserit were telepathic or had telepathic powers in his books.
