12th Annual Regional Symposium
May 5-6
Energy & Science-Working Together for Wellness
DoubleTree by Hilton at the Berkeley Marina
Healing Touch California
A Network for All Healing Touch Practitioners & Students
It has been an exciting year-- the Healing Touch California 12th Annual Symposium had the theme Energy & Science - Working Together for Wellness. The board assembled two keynote speakers and eight workshop presenters, a variety of esteemed presenters, so participants could choose from a spectrum of informative workshops. Workshops started with releasing negative patterns or saying YES! to integrating crystals, muscle testing, or guided imagery offering tools to expand your practitioner abilities. Revolutionary new systems and ancients ways were also available to address client difficulties.
The 2018 keynote speakers expanded our awareness of how the biofield provides a new perspective, complementary to the mainstream biochemical view of life. Addressing how invisible fields transmit key bio-information, energy medicine therapies promote harmony with the body's innate dynamics. In addition, by learning how to work with what the body remembers, the root of a specific challenge can be identified and resolved. This work is about freedom – an opening to “re-root the family tree” in healthy and sustainable behaviors. The Board of Directors was honored to have you all enjoy an invigorating, exciting, introspective and educational gathering.
