Heal the Healer Exchange
Thursday, January 12, 2012 7:00-8:30 pm
Please come and spend an evening giving and receiving… We welcome holistic practitioners of all modalities. This event is open to all healers. Membership in the Alliance is not required to participate. As healers we are often giving to others and do not always sufficiently attend to ourselves and keep ourselves in balance. Consistent with our mission of collaborative ventures promoting connections, we wish to encourage the sharing of our gifts with each other with as much attention to receiving as giving, supporting the concept of healthy reciprocity. This is an opportunity to get to know another local practitioner/healer and his/her work in a more intimate way.
For this seventh healer’s exchange we are allowing a certain amount of synchronicity and spontaneity. We expect there will be time for one full exchange of 30 to 45 minutes in each direction. Details may be negotiated in each practitioner pair. Alliance members will be on hand to facilitate practitioner pairings for those newer to this community. As we will only have two or three massage tables available, if you require a table we ask you to bring one.
