Therapeutic Touch (TT) workshops were first offered at Camp Indralaya in 1977. Since that time, this healing technique has become increasingly accepted in hospitals and clinics throughout North America, in addition to being taught in many universities. TT is currently practiced and taught in over 90 countries around the world. A substantial body of research backs up the clinical wisdom that TT promotes the healing of a large variety of physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges.
“Therapeutic Touch is only partially about healing others. Equally – perhaps even more importantly – it is about an inner journey. It is important to acknowledge that the empowerment in Therapeutic Touch comes through the TT therapist’s quest for a liaison with the Inner Self.” Dolores Krieger, PhD, RN
May 20-23 (Thursday dinner – Sunday lunch)
This program is for lay people, nursing students, nurses, and other healthcare professionals new to the practice of Therapeutic Touch (TT). Participants will learn and practice the steps of TT, learn about current uses of TT with various clinical populations, and learn about TT research. Intermediate students will work to enhance their practice with small-group practice and experiences to deepen their understanding of the Therapeutic Touch process.
