The Transpersonal Nature of Therapeutic Touch

In this Therapeutic Touch® (TT) course, we will build on the knowledge, skills, and insights acquired through the TT Foundations course and regular TT practice. This course supports and enhances the learner’s evolving and deepening understanding of Therapeutic Touch. We will explore in-depth approaches for assisting individuals with a variety of health challenges.

Our time together will include more hands-on practice, reflective inquiry, and self-inquiry exercises. And as always, peace and healing are the nature of the course for all who come! This course satisfies the second class required for the credential of Qualified Therapeutic Touch Practitioner (QTTP); all sessions are required. The course is also open to all who wish to deepen their practice but are not pursuing a QTTP.
