Saturday June 8 Dinner – Friday June 14 Breakfast
Therapeutic Touch, a gentle, evidence based holistic healing modality, was first offered at Camp Indralaya in 1978. Since that time, this healing technique has become increasingly accepted in hospitals and clinics throughout North America and around the world, and a substantial base of formal and clinical research has been developed documenting its efficacy. TT has proven to be effective in a variety of applications and, perhaps more importantly, has played a significant role in broadening the array of acceptable healing modalities available to healthcare professionals as well as to anyone having the desire to help another. The intention of these Therapeutic Touch programs is to create an opportunity for transformative in-depth healing for the participants attending as well as to deepen the skill of the TT practitioners.
For over 45 years, healees/healing partners have been an integral part of the Therapeutic Touch programs at Indralaya. Without their contributions and trust these programs could not succeed. In light of this, a supportive and educational group process is designed specifically for those attending either of the June TT programs as participants addressing healing. The treatment schedule for each week is during the morning after a group meditation at 9:30 am.
Activities and Experiences: You can apply for either Therapeutic Touch program week, or for both weeks. One can benefit equally from either program and attendees often report an increased sense of relaxation and well-being. We recommend participating in our daily comprehensive programs created for your well-being to promote and deepen your healing process.
The daily program sequence consists of: 1) Group meditation as a way to come together as whole, relax and increase the benefits from the TT treatments; 2) Daily Therapeutic Touch treatments from experienced therapists who are furthering their own study and skills; 3) Rest or nap which is highly recommended to deepen the treatment process; 4) A support group to discuss the TT treatment and illness-related experiences; and 5) Optional times to connect with one another without any agenda. Depending on how much you want to participate, this program is about 4 to 5.5 hours long each day.
Support Facilitators: Facilitators for participant groups have both Therapeutic Touch and qualified counseling experience.

PhD (she/her) One of my pleasures in life is compassionately supporting people as they journey towards greater healing and well-being.

As a Therapeutic Touch practitioner and board member of Therapeutic Touch Professional Associates, I don’t always know what challenges my healing partners are facing. What I do know is that health struggles can be exhausting and can make it hard to remember who we are beyond our illness. No matter what difficulties Week One…
