Dear Members & CHTPs,

 

During the past several years of pandemic many Healing Touch communities have had challenges with staying connected. Throughout this time the Healing Beyond Borders Board of Directors have taken steps to assist with fostering community engagement. Supportive virtual offerings such as “Staying Connected Through Social Distancing” our Pre-conference Community Meetings and the conference morning “Coffees” and evening “Bedtime Stories” were all created to connect, support and uphold students, practitioners and instructors.

 

Following this intention of support, we are happy to share that Healing Beyond Borders will be offering a virtual Healing Touch Practice Group. The Healing Beyond Borders Healing Touch Practice Group will be scheduled at times that allow connection with much of our worldwide community. This will be a time to connect, discuss, support and learn together.

 

As a long-time member of the regional Blue Ridge Shenandoah Healing Touch Practice Group, I value the experience of gathering with like-minded people to share and learn together. I began attending the Blue Ridge Shenandoah Healing Touch Practice Group in 2002, shortly after I attended Course 1: Foundations of Healing Touch. As a newcomer to Healing Touch I really appreciated the support of more seasoned students and practitioners. Hearing their stories of when and how others used the Healing Touch, what they sensed in the field, how they sequenced techniques and what energetic patterns they recognized. This group experience really helped me grow in confidence and understanding of energy work. At the end of the evening the opportunity to both give and receive Healing Touch sessions made all the difference in keeping me move forward with the work. Of course, I had heard my Healing Touch Instructors say “the energy teaches us.” As I attended Healing Touch Practice Group, I came to understand that!

 

How it will work:

  • Members of the Board of Directors have marked off recurring times on their calendars to gather with our members online using Zoom. A link to the meetings will be sent via email.
  • The Practice Group will be structured with a time of welcome, sharing, discussing a predetermined Healing Touch Intervention, a voice guided Practitioner Preparation, followed by practicing the intervention as a self-care technique or if you choose, a healing partner in your home. 

We hope that you will join us for the Healing Beyond Borders Healing Touch Practice Group, and we hope that CHTIs will encourage their students to join as an opportunity to meet new people and find out what is going on in our wonderful community.

 

With gratitude for the Healing Touch Community that has supported me along the way,

Gina Bondurant BSN, RN, CHTP/I

President Healing Beyond Borders

 

We look forward to connecting with you.

In the meantime, our intention is for everyone is to be healthy,

in right relationship, and open hearts.

March 6th - Celebrate Healing Touch Day

MARCH 6, 2023

 

It's Healing Beyond Borders' 27th Birthday!!
Begin planning your Healing Touch Day event now!

Each year, communities from around the world join together to celebrate Healing Touch.  Join your colleagues by planning an event that will raise awareness and acceptance of Healing Touch in your town or community.  Below is a list of suggested activities for Healing Touch Day 2023!


Ways to promote your event.  See the free flyer downloads below.


Worldwide Healing Meditation

Whether you are part of a community event, or simply honoring Healing Touch on this day, consider joining with thousands of Healing Touch providers around the globe in a world healing meditation. 

We start by grounding and centering ourselves and connecting with our own heart. Then we expand this heart centered energy to fill and hold all beings on this planet in a space of wholeness and healing. We end by releasing the outcome and disconnecting. Add your own inspiration, images, and content to this meditation to make it sacred or meaningful for you. Official meditation time is noon (your time) on March 6th, but you can participate at any time on that day.  


Community Building Event for Healing Touch Providers
This is a great opportunity to connect with other Healing Touch providers in your area.  Below is a list of ideas that can enhance your event. Choose those that match the size and type of group you are expecting.  

  • Invite all Healing Touch providers that you know of in your community.  Look on our website for Certified Healing Touch Practitioners that you might not be aware of.  
  • Offer food, social time, and a time for sharing as a group.
  • If you do not know each other, consider name tags and some type of group introductions.
  • Provide space and set up tables for Healing Touch exchanges.
  • Ask a local instructor to review the basic Healing Touch sequence for inactive Healing Touch providers.
  • Celebrate newly certified practitioners and instructors, and any other milestones.
  • Participate in the world-wide healing meditation. 

Awareness Building Event for the Public
Each year dozens of communities around the world participate in Healing Touch Day activities.  Many creative and varied activities occur ranging from month-long schedules of events, city and area wide presentations, weekend retreats, day long gatherings, and presentations and classes, to individual participation and tithing. Below are a list of ideas that can help you put together an awareness event for the public.   

  • Find a location that fits your needs and goals such as a community center, nursing home, hospital, or corporation.
  • Schedule an Intro to Healing Touch talk or Healing Beyond Borders Powerpoint presentation.
  • Offer free Healing Touch mini-sessions.
  • Have drawings for free Healing Touch sessions or classes.
  • Offer a Healing Touch class.
  • Participate in the worldwide healing meditation.
