Practical Applications of Therapeutic Touch:
Deepening Our Practice of TT In Challenging and Changing Times

Intuition is the whisper of the soul.
J. Krishnamurthi

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them, humanity cannot survive.
Dalai Lama XIV
******
It is in the still ambience of unconditional love that the call within can reach the level required to effectively project healing energy. It is as if the welling up of compassion from the depths of the individual resulted in an inner sound or vibration. ~ ~ ~ Without compassion, whatever else one may do, it is not Therapeutic Touch.

We are looking forward to fresh faces, as well as experienced hands, whether or not you have gone through the credentialing process. As healing practitioners, we need each other to learn and grow. The criteria for attendance are practice and the desire to be of service.

During this week we will work together to support our healing partners and TTers to deepen understanding of this amazing modality. Our day begins by gathering in the meadow for group meditation, involving Practitioners and Healing Partners.  From this place of deep inner quiet, harmony and unity, we support the Healing Partners through morning TT sessions.  Group discussion follows using self-reflective processes to journal, to debrief, and to explore the multiple aspects presented including, but not limited to, shifts in consciousness, the various ways of assessment and treatment, and the ways in which we support our own healing.

Following lunch, a short time to rest is provided as Dora understood that we are all in need, and an essential component of healing is rest.  Then our afternoon gatherings are focused on growing through cohort groups – deepening through dialogue and explorations into the teachings from Dora and Dee, including sharing of treatments between Practitioners.  Evening campfires continue our journey.

Wherever you are in your journey of understanding healing and TT, we will provide time for in-depth discussion, exploration, and support for plumbing the depths of current understandings.
