Beginner’s Therapeutic Touch
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.

It is designed for students, nurses, and healthcare professionals new to the practice of TT. Interested lay people are also encouraged to apply.
