  “Tomorrow belongs to the people who plan for it today,” is a wise African proverb. And we would like to support you as a HTPA member in planning a great tomorrow for your practice!

  We have engaged the gentle, wise and very successful Authentic Business Coach George Kao to offer a customized planning intensive just for you! It will get you well on your way to having a plan that you will enjoy implementing, and that is tailored specifically to your practice.

  Whether you are just starting out or are already established in your practice, George will help you create (or improve) your business plan, understand how to focus your energy on activities that matter the most (some are the opposite of what you usually hear), and learn about systems and processes to track your progress and grow your right-sized practice.

  Join George’s Authentic Business Planning for Healers: Strategy, Service and Success, and create a vision and a plan that is truly you!

  The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

  HT Reading Category: Journaling

  

  About the Book:

  Since its first publication, The Artist's Way phenomena has inspired the genius of Elizabeth Gilbert and millions of readers to embark on a creative journey and find a deeper connection to process and purpose. Julia Cameron's novel approach guides readers in uncovering problems areas and pressure points that may be restricting their creative flow and offers techniques to free up any areas where they might be stuck, opening up opportunities for self-growth and self-discovery.
   
  The program begins with Cameron’s most vital tools for creative recovery – The Morning Pages, a daily writing ritual of three pages of stream-of-conscious, and The Artist Date, a dedicated block of time to nurture your inner artist. From there, she shares hundreds of exercises, activities, and prompts to help readers thoroughly explore each chapter. She also offers guidance on starting a “Creative Cluster” of fellow artists who will support you in your creative endeavors.
  
  A revolutionary program for personal renewal, The Artist's Way will help get you back on track, rediscover your passions, and take the steps you need to change your life.

  Instructor-Led Practice Group: Level 3 

  Thursday, December 18th, 2025

  6pm-8pm Central 

  In this practice group, Cindy Palajac, HTCP/I, will be facilitating:

  • Discussion Group on Level 3 Techniques
  • Q&A
  • Spiritual Surgery
  • Treatment Exchanges

  ✪ Healing Touch Certification continuing education credits are available as listed below. You can list those on the Continuing Education Worksheet available in the Certification support portal. No certificates will be issued.
  

  ✪ Approved HTC CE: 1 hour. Not to exceed 10 hours in the 5 year renewal period.

  These practice groups are an opportunity for students and practitioners to:

  • Become more confident in administering HT techniques
  • Connect with your HT community
  • Have access to an instructor that can answer your questions and provide you with guidance

  For each Healing Touch Level Practice Group, Instructors will:

  • Offer a detailed technique review with discussion
  • Provide guidance on practicing the techniques during the group
  • Answer questions about the techniques

  Participants must have completed the HT Level prior to attending the practice group (ie. must have completed Level 1 in order to participate in Level 1 Practice Group).
  

  Fees:

  HTPA Members -FREE 
  

  Public - $40 

  HOW THE PRACTICE GROUPS WORK:

  1. The first part of the practice group is a guided meditation and then an Instructor led teaching and demonstration of a specific HT technique. Thoughtfully selected learning plans/technique reviews have been selected for each Level, each month.

  2. Participants then have an opportunity to ask questions before being put into breakout rooms to practice the technique.

  3. Participants then return back to the main session to share their experience and ask more questions.

  The whole process is designed to help you learn, grow, and become more confident, not only with the instructor's guidance, but also from other's experiences and questions as well!

  TIPS:

  All participants on the call will be paired up in breakout rooms to practice. We really encourage you to take advantage of this time and practice in these breakout rooms. However, if you do not wish to be assigned to a break out room, we ask that you please leave the meeting prior to the breakout session to avoid us from having to rearrange the automatic room assignments generated by Zoom, which slows things down and cuts down on the practice time for others. We appreciate your understanding!

  These events will be recorded for teaching purposes only and will not be shared with participants. You must attend live to participate.  The content in any slides presented during the event are from the HT Level Notebooks so therefore the slides will not be shared with participants. 

  It is recommended that you have your Level 3 notebook available for reference during the practice group.

  You can request to download a digital notebook by logging in to the HT Support Portal here: https://htp.mykajabi.com/login. Go to Level 3 and then select Level Resources and "sign up" to receive the download.
