Integrative Healing Arts Program, Winter 2016
Integrative Healing Arts, Level II
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
– Mother Teresa
These next 8 classes in the Integrative Healing Arts series provides an opportunity to explore the mystery of healing, expanding our awareness of the interior realm of consciousness, thoughts, feelings and beliefs and how these impact our health and well being, happiness and the fulfillment of our life’s dream.
Time: 9 am to 4 pm
Where: Sutter Care At Home, 110 Stony Point, Santa Rosa, CA, 2nd Floor Board Room
IHA Level II is offered through Educare-Partners for 30 CEUs. The course includes Reiki Certification both levels I and II and working with the 32 Keys. The core elements of healing, spirituality and creativity will form the foundation of our work together, as we explore:
- The Five Element Theory, creating the basis for assessment and intervention
- Seasonal practices to maintain homeostasis
- Essential Oils for the seasons and for each organ system
- Flow point interventions to harmonize out of balance states in the bodymind
- Cultivate the active awareness of the witness to mentor and coach, dialogue with the inner self to support change and self actualization within yourself and others
- Self Care- Soul Care techniques for healing: this will include the use of herbs, flower essences, movement, chanting, and art making, which can also be used with others
- Prayer, the dialogue between our soul-self and The Universal Source of All Life
- Reflective exercises to explore spirituality as the source of all healing
The philosophical foundation of the Integrative Healing Arts is based upon a holistic perspective of the nature of reality. It is a healing context framed by the art of compassion caring that creates an environment for yourself, your patients, friends or loved ones, to activate conditions that support healing.
Level II will encourage you to explore your personal paradigm of what you think, feel and believe about life, health, creativity, spirituality and the power to heal. As you begin the journey into the mystery of consciousness and focused awareness, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your own sense of well being and life purpose. Working with the techniques you’ve learned you’ll sense a deeper understanding of yourself, thereby making you a more effective health care provider, teacher and mentor to others.
Pulling from the ancient-wisdom-traditions of Native Americans, Celts, Taoist, Polynesians, Buddhist, Cabala Tradition of Judaism, early Christians, Egyptians and the new science, we’ll explore principles that can lead us into a new paradigm of health, joy, and creative exploration of the great mystery of life. Every class will weave in mythology, sacred art making, energy practices, mantras and mudras, essential oils, pulse listening and the 8 core practices from the 32 Keys.

The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man…. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”
