This workshop offers an introduction to basic Capacitar practices to enhance personal wellness, to care for others and to heal compassion fatigue. Healthcare providers, teachers, counselors and individuals who want to enhance their own sense of wellness will learn practices that they can begin to use with themselves and with others.
Capacitar International has for 20 years taught experiential, holistic healing practices using a popular education methodology. It is used in more than 28 countries for healing trauma and stress-related illness and promoting well-being in multi-cultural settings where learners are empowered to continue their healing on their own and in community.
Capacitar teaches simple practices such as Tai Chi movements, meditation, accupressure protocols, chakra theory, polarity and simple massage & breathing techniques to promote holistic healing of body, mind and spirit. These practices integrate spirituality and body wisdom with a research based focus.
La Casa also offers a one year intensive training program in the Capacitar methodology for those who want to be able to understand the theory and principles of the work. The 2009 series begins March 27 - 29. See the calendar for more information.
