About Professional Development Days
Professional Development Days are a wonderful opportunity to share new learning and experiences, to review and affirm what we already know and to share joyful and meaningful interactions on a topic of interest and relevance to all TT practitioners. They provide an opportunity to connect with friends, meet new members of our Therapeutic Touch community, learn new ideas and skills both for our inner growth and to enhance our practice of TT, and to have fun together.
Professional Development Days are open to all Therapeutic Touch practitioners – that is, anyone who has taken a Level One workshop. Taught as designed, the Professional Development Day fulfills the educational requirement for maintaining status as a Recognized Practitioner with the TTNO. The Professional Development Day may also count for a maximum of eight hours of the additional hours of continued studies for achieving Recognized Practitioner status.
Some comments from the 2023 Professional Development Day
The best part of the day ...
The incredible dialogue that took places in the breakout rooms as we each responded to the given quotes.
The five minute TT session at the start of the day was a great starting point. Loved the spiral writing – it was new to me and took me deeper and deeper. The whole day, which flew by, was wonderful!
Being together. Today was like a retreat!
This day was one of my more memorable experiences of my career.
New information & insights...
I have a new awareness of what self-compassion is and what it really means to me.
This was the first time I tried spiral writing - very interesting depths of insight as we moved from "level to level."
The content and discussion about self-compassion reinforced my recent realization that without true self-compassion it's difficult to have compassion for others.
The value of distant TT.
Other comments and suggestions...
Worked really well on Zoom. I didn't have to travel and still got to connect with my TT friends!
