HAC Workshop Proposals 

Picture
Every year, The Healing Arts Center has approximately fifty (50) weekends available to host a broad selection of workshops, continuing education opportunities and programs to both licensed massage therapist (LMTs) and the general topic.  All of our programs are centered on the subject of health and well-being, but can cover nearly any relevant subject.
   
The Healing Arts Center has a particular interest in wellness programs that pertain to complementary and alternative medicine, preventative medicine, body work, breath and energy work as well as diet and fitness.  The common theme of our programming is wellness and well-being education.

Currently, our programs are organized into two (2) tracks.  The first is the Professional Skills Track that is usually delivered in all-day or weekend courses.  The subject matter centers professional health and body worker professional development.   We prefer courses that lead to certification and we prefer courses that deliver continuing education units (CEUs) to licensed professionals.  The second group of workshops is the Community Skills Track.  These courses are typically shorter, cheaper, do not require licensure and are open to everyone.  Our Community Skills Track is currently being delivered in a series called “Saturday Sessions” and no more than four (4) hours long.
