Foundations of Therapeutic Touch® – In Person (IL, USA) – with Marilyn Johnston-Svoboda & Madonna Pence

Saturday, October 11, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 12, 10:00 a.m. – 5:00p.m. Therapeutic Touch (TT) is a gentle, healing practice using the hands, heart, and mind in a compassionate and intentional way. It brings a sense of balance, peacefulness, and well-being to those who are ill, dying, or those with simple everyday stressors. It decreases pain and anxiety. TT is a healing therapy based on the scientific understanding that matter and energy are both vibrations and are essentially the same. An additional benefit of this practice is the deep sense of peacefulness and well-being it brings to the practitioner. TT is well-researched and has a significant presence in healthcare settings in the U.S. and around the world. In this workshop, you will learn about the human energy field, or biofield, and TT. You will have many opportunities to practice and discover new things about yourself and about healing. Each session will be filled with discussion, meditation, centering, and experiential exercises. For those who seek the credential of “Qualified Therapeutic Touch Practitioner,” this is the first of two required courses and you must attend both sessions of this course.

No prerequisite: Healthcare professionals, caregivers for family and friends, and community members seeking a pathway to deepen their spiritual journey are all welcome to attend.
