Therapeutic Touch Mentorship

The Mentorship Program is now in its twenty-sixth year. It is designed for Therapeutic Touch (TT) Practitioners who are at a variety of stages in their development. As with all programs, we respond to feedback from evaluation forms. Thus, we continue to evolve in what we offer.

There are three mentorship groups. When you register for the Mentorship Week. You will receive an application to fill out via email. In the application you will be able to clearly indicate which Mentorship Group you are interested in. Thanks!

2026 Mentorship groups:

• A mentorship group for folks at any level who have at least completed Foundations of Therapeutic Touch and want to deepen their practice.
• A mentorship group which includes the Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch Course. This course fulfills a requirement needed for those pursuing QTTP and/or wanting to deepen their practice and is open to anyone meeting these prerequisites: completion of Foundations and practicing TT for at least three to six months regularly or with approval of the instructors.
• A mentorship group for Application of the Inner Processes of Therapeutic Touch. This program involves inner work and reflection. Prerequisite for this class is completion of Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch and at least one year of regular TT practice or with approval of the instructors. This course is required if you desire to become a QTTT.

The intent of these programs is to provide a rich opportunity to deepen your understanding and practice of TT. All participants will have many opportunities to enhance their efficacy as TT practitioners within a supportive environment. An integral part of this program is daily TT sessions with those who attend as Healing Partners. This is a mutually beneficial aspect of the program.

The groups, led by experienced and credentialed Therapeutic Touch teachers, allow for meeting individual needs and questions and, at the same time, there is synergistic learning by all who are present. No matter what your TT experience, this week will expand and enliven you, inside and out.
