MISSION STATEMENT
Spiritual growth and understanding through ministering to the body, emotions, mind and spirit exemplifies the philosophy of the Ministerial Educational Program of the Institute of Wholistic Theology.
Education in and the use of various modalities of natural healthcare therapy, interwoven with the teachings of Holistic Synergy™, assists the minister to facilitate the health, healing and spiritual growth and progress of each person on his/her own path.
Each modality offered at the Institute of Wholistic Theology provides the minister with a unique “tool.” Using these “tools” both serves to assist the person and also guides the minister on his/her own journey of self-empowerment, beyond victim-hood to physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and well-being, in short – to true freedom.
The spiritual journey for each minister expands through continuing education and exploration of his/her deepest belief systems that once addressed can eventually develop into a knowing of deep peace, balance and connectedness to the Highest Knowledge available.
INSTITUTE OF WHOLISTIC THEOLOGY
The Institute of Wholistic Theology is based upon the energy work of Holistic Synergy™ created by its founder Caroline L. Bayard. The philosophy of Holistic Synergy™ incorporates the health and healing of the body, emotions, mind and spirit. All other forms of healing modalities are enhanced by the usage and philosophy of the spirit of Holistic Synergy™. In order to obtain Certification (Basic or Advanced), Master or Doctorate Degrees through the Institute of Wholistic Theology, under the auspices of the LifeSpirit Theological Seminary, it is essential to be working with, and practicing the philosophy of Holistic Synergy™.
Holistic Synergy™ utilizes the healing energy of the Universal Source to create balance and replenish any disruptions in the life force of the individual. Self-empowerment, service, belief in a Higher Source and a dedication to personal growth are the underlying focus in all of the courses at the Institute of Wholistic Theology.
All Ministerial Certification and Degree Programs are only available to ministers of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church. All Certification and Degree Programs through the Institute of Wholistic Theology are only available to ministers of the 22nd Congregation of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church - the Northeast Holistic Center.
LifeSpirit Theological Seminary
Institute of Wholistic Theology
Northeast Holistic Center L.C.C.
In 1990, the Northeast Holistic Center was founded by Caroline Bayard as a place to study and experience Holistic Synergy™ as well as many other forms of holistic disciplines, for the positive growth of all four energy levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. At the Northeast Holistic Center, we believe that all paths lead to the same Universal Consciousness. Through this multi-level, multi-disciplined approach, we encourage each person to grow at his/her own pace. This is the Northeast Holistic Center's goal.
Shortly thereafter, in 1994 the Northeast Holistic Center became the 22nd Congregation of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church (founded in August 1973). In 1991, Caroline Bayard and her husband and co-founder, Barry Rosenstreich, became ordained ministers and Elders of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church. In 2005, Caroline Bayard was elevated to Matriarch for her accomplishments in service to the community, church, education and advancement of Natural Healthcare.
Most recently, in 2008, the importance of academic acknowledgment of the philosophy, service and beliefs that have spurred the work of the Northeast Holistic Center and the LifeSpirit Congregational Church’s other congregations has lead the upper echelon of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church to agree that it was essential to formally create a Seminary, to validate the work that its ministers were doing. The LifeSpirit Theological Seminary was then founded, on January 6, 2008. In support of a total “whole person” healing philosophy, the Institute of Wholistic Theology and its course of study was developed. Enhanced and expanded course work of the Northeast Holistic Center’s certification programs became the foundation for the Institute of Wholistic Theology’s Ministerial Certification and Degree programs.
The philosophy and techniques of Holistic Synergy™ are the foundation of the Natural Healthcare Ministerial Certification and Degree programs. To obtain advanced degrees, it is necessary to complete the Holistic Synergy™ Practitioner Certification plus additional course work and practicum.
Advanced Certifications, Master and Doctorate Degrees in Wholistic Theology are offered at IWT.

Being a Minister with
LifeSpirit Congregational Church (L.C.C.)-
22nd Congregation - Northeast Holistic Center (N.H.C.)
The Ministry of the Northeast Holistic Center is a ministry of service to the dying, sick, healing, healthy and student. The N.H.C. Ministry includes all ages, races, nationalities, creeds, formal religions and levels of spiritual awareness, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
The Student Minister learns to interact with the healing process of the general public through the healing work that s/he has studied in the year(s) leading up to ordination. Often, the Student Minister is guided by a Minister Practitioner or Full Minister, to develop an individual approach to the healing practice.
After two years of service, when the Student Minister has recognized that this is his/her true path, they can choose to move on to Minister Practitioner. Additional certifications and levels of spiritual knowledge have been achieved, so that the Minister Practitioner is capable of working out in the community, as well as developing their own practice of healing and education in harmony and relationship with the Northeast Holistic Center.
A period of three years as Minister Practitioner allows the student to grow by completing his/her Holistic Synergy™ Practitioner Certification and be comfortable with all aspects of the training and philosophy. Once the Minister Practitioner fully understands how the energywork of Holistic Synergy™ is an integral part of all healing modalities, s/he may apply for the position of Full Minister. As a Full Minister, s/he has received full rights and privileges of a minister and is working towards starting his/her own congregation, creating his/her own grant program, research program or developing a unique course of study.
When the Full Minister has successfully worked to create his/her own aforementioned program and has successfully run the program for two years (a total of nine years in the Ministry), s/he can work towards the position of Elder. This position is an appointment by recommendation only. The chosen Minister must have successfully developed research, education, grant programs, a flourishing congregation or the like, to be approved for this position.
The position of Patriarch or Matriarch is again an appointed position, in acknowledgment of accomplishment of service to the community or other outstanding work.
Application Process for Minister
L.C.C. - 22nd Congregation - Northeast Holistic Center
A student, having successfully completed one of the appropriate certification programs at the Northeast Holistic Center may apply for Student Ministry with the L.C.C., under the aegis of the N.H.C.
Certification Programs accepted for Student Ministry:
Aromatherapy & You
Basic Herbal Care
Flower Essence Therapy
Holistic Synergy™ Level 1
Advanced Reflexology Certification
Advanced Hypnosis Certification
Once the student has completed one of the above certification programs, they must:
Submit a resume stating qualifications to the Director of
Ministers
Have a meeting with the Director of Ministers
Request a written recommendation from the Center Director approved by the N.H.C. Director.
Submit a letter of intention to the Patriarch of L.C.C. through
the Director of Ministers
The Director of Ministers will then forward the materials to the Patriarch and the Board of Trustees of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church and await the Board’s decision. If approved, an ordination ceremony will then be arranged.
Application
Process for Degree Programs
Once the Student Minister has been ordained, they are then eligible to apply for admission to the Ministerial Advanced Certification Program. These programs are available at the level of Student Minister of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church, 22nd Congregation, Northeast Holistic Center. If a Minister Practitioner, Full Minister, Elder or Patriarch/Matriarch wishes to obtain any degree from the Institute of Wholistic Theology, it is essential that they begin at the Ministerial Certification level. The Ministerial Certificate levels are a two-year course of study, consisting of a minimum of 60 credits. The student must satisfactorily complete two of the following courses of study:
Phytotherapy - 30 credits
Energy Therapeutics - 30 credits
Mind/Body Connection*+ - 30 credits
Holistic Synergy/Level 1* - 30 credits
Holistic Synergy/Level 2* - 30 credits
*In choosing Mind/Body Connection or Holistic Synergy™ Level 1, the student is taking courses that are a part of the Ministerial Certifications and therefore needs to take additional credits on the Advanced Ministerial Certifications level to have the necessary number of credits.
+If the student has chosen Mind/Body Connection in Ministerial Certifications Program, they will need to take two more electives, with research projects at the Advanced Ministerial Certification level as there is a duplication of two classes in Mind/Body and Holistic Synergy™ Level 1 & 2.
(If the student is choosing to go on to Advanced Ministerial Certification levels, it is highly suggested that they take Holistic Synergy™ Level One plus either Phytotherapy or Energy Therapeutics at the Ministerial Certification Level.)
The course(s) that has been taken prior to applying for LifeSpirit Congregational Ministry is acceptable as one or part of the courses for the Ministerial Certification Program, however additional research and practicum work will be required.
Each level of certification or degree program is directly related to the position the minister holds within the LifeSpirit Congregational Church. The minister must be elevated to the next position within the Church in order to apply for the corresponding certification or degree at that level. However, a Minister does not HAVE to have the certification or degree equal to the level of ministry that they have attained - although it is strongly suggested. Each stated level of ministry can obtain the following certification or degrees IF actively, compliantly fulfilling all duties at said level of ministry. It is HIGHLY suggested that all ministers at each level be enrolled in certification or degree programs, to guarantee their continued spiritual growth in harmony with the philosophy of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church.
Ministerial Certification of Wholistic Theology (C.W.T/):
Relating to the status of STUDENT MINISTER
Ministerial Certification of Advanced Wholistic Theology (C.W.A.T.):
Relating to the status of MINISTER PRACTITIONER

Members of the ministry who have not previously taken part in the seminary certification and degree programs may, at any time, apply for entry in to the program. Upon acceptance in to the program, such candidates must fulfill all previously unmet requirements of the program, in order to be awarded the certification or degree being sought.
The LifeSpirit Theological Seminary reserves the right to alter the requirements for any specific part or parts of its ministerial certification or degree programs as deemed appropriate, in order to maintain quality and meet the high standards of the education it chooses to provide.
Degrees

Theology (IWT) degrees. (Certifications and Diplomas from other institution(s)
may be evaluated by the Dean of the Institute of Wholistic Theology to determine
whether they can be incorporated as a possible basis for the ministerial
certification and degree programs). Candidates must complete the IWT

Admission
Upon acceptance to I.W.T., each student is assigned a seminary advisor who guides the student in the best options to focus the student to reach his/her desired educational goals. Although there are strict limits on the amount of the time taken to finish a particular course of study, such as Basic Herbal Care, there is no limit on the period of study for a particular certification or degree program, as long as the student stays in written and verbal communication with their appointed Institute of Wholistic Theology advisor. Courses start at varying times throughout the year. Since the degree programs are a student’s self-paced independently motivated study program, the student and advisor create the program, and the student must pursue it through his/her own determination and focus to completion. The student must exhibit self-discipline, desire and motivation to attain his/her desired educational and career goals.
Requirements for admission are a high school diploma or satisfactory completion of the General Education Development (GED) test, and a desire to serve people in their health and healing process, whether that process is on the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level.
Enrollment Process
To qualify for enrollment in the certification or degree programs in the Institute of Wholistic Theology, the applicant must have successfully completed certification courses with the Northeast Holistic Center, applied for and been ordained in the Ministry of the LifeSpirit Congregational Church, and be in good standing as both Minister and student of the Northeast Holistic Center. All students must be at least eighteen (18) years old.
As a Minister of the Northeast Holistic Center/LifeSpirit Congregational Church, you may request an application for the Seminary. At this time, you will be assigned a Seminary Advisor, who will assist and guide you with your choices throughout your degree program(s). Any questions that may arise about major, tuition, grading, and timely completion of course work and major changes will go through your Seminary Advisor. Your Advisor’s business card will be included with your enrollment forms. Applications may be mailed to:
Institute of Wholistic Theology
212 DeWitt Avenue
Belleville, NJ 07109
A $35.00 non-refundable processing fee must be sent along with the application to the Seminary.
Grading
With each course of study that is taken, homeworks represent 30% of your grade. They must be completed in full, in the timely manner according to the standards set by your teacher, for the particular course that you are taking. Attendance is mandatory for each class, and is 10% of the grade. In the case of an excused absence, the class must be made-up by the end of the semester. An unexcused absence will be considered withdrawal from that course and require a meeting with advisor before reenrollment in the course is permitted. An assigned research project, a written exam a practical exam are each 20% of the grade.
Passing is 80%. Anyone with a lower grade at the completion of the course is offered a chance to retake the practical and/or written exam and do another research project in the student’s “weak area”.
At the end of each successfully completed course, you will receive a certificate of completion. At the end of the certification or degree program, you will receive an unofficial transcript along with your diploma or ministerial certification.
Student Withdrawal
Within 30 days enrollment, if you have not completed any homework or marked any course paperwork, a 90% refund of tuition is available; 30-60 days a refund of 50%. After 60 days, no refund is available. To withdraw, you must contact your Advisor. A leave of Absence may be granted upon meeting with your seminary advisor and the Director of Ministers.
.
Transfer of Credits
Since the curriculum of the Institute of Wholistic Theology is a specific philosophy of healing, centered on the core teaching of Holistic Synergy™ as formulated by its creator, Caroline Bayard, each course of study has it own unique presentation of philosophy. If you should already be certified in a particular subject from another institution, your Advisor will guide you to take a different major or to choose to study the Institute of Wholistic Theology’s approach to the subject matter. Since this is a Seminary with a specific philosophy, you will learn a different approach to healing in the process, even though some of the tools may be the same. There is no transferring of credits to or from another seminary, school or college without the specific permission of the Dean of the Institute. ..
Changes in Program or Major
Any student enrolled in the Institute of Wholistic Theology who wishes to switch to another program or major will pay any difference in the program price along with a $200 administration fee. The student will return any unused materials, books or supplies that apply to the original program. Changes can only occur within 30 days of the initial enrollment.
.
Northeast Holistic Center Certifications Courses
Any courses satisfactorily completed from the N.H.C. prior to becoming a Minister may be utilized in the Institute of Wholistic Theology’s certification or degree program courses. Additional practicum and research work as well as fees to cover such work, will need to be completed to meet the standards of the Institute of Wholistic Theology courses. If on-line courses were taken, the same additional work and fees will apply.

Course Description
Clinical Aromatherapy
Foundations of Aromatherapy:
This is Level One of three levels for Clinical Aromatherapy Certification. Level One is to introduce the student to the basic foundations of aromatherapy without going deeply into the chemistry of essential oils, blending, or anatomy and physiology as related to aromatherapy. All homework and research work deal with one essential oil in one carrier at a time. A more in depth study of blending of multiple essential oils and the chemistry of essential oils is covered in later levels.
Journey of Aromatherapy:
Besides the addition of new essential oils and carrier oils, the focus of this level of Aromatherapy is the chemistry of Aromatherapy. Discover the importance of the distillation process in relationship to the quality of the oils, purity and adulteration - all very important factors in dealing with clinical aromatherapy. Learn about botanical origins and chemotypes. A basic introduction to the chemistry of essential oils, their structure and energy, and much more is involved.
Master of Aromatherapy:
The point of focus for this series of classes is the biology of essential oils: understanding where essential oils come from. Once again, additional essential oils and carrier oils are worked with on a clinical basis, working with physical disorders on a multi-faceted case taking and healing level.
Clinical Hypnosis
Hypnosis: Introduction
100: Explore what hypnosis really is. Learn to recognize when each person goes into a hypnotic state naturally during his/her everyday life. Be able to explain what hypnosis is and why the majority of the population is really capable of being hypnotized if they want to be. Discussions of the common misconceptions of what hypnosis is will dispel the myths. Investigate the different stages or levels of hypnosis that an individual is capable of achieving. Learn about trance. Do experiential work with different levels of suggestibility to hypnosis. Find out what the indications of a hypnotic state are, and when and why it is inappropriate to use hypnosis on a client.
Hypnosis: Self Hypnosis
200: Supervised experiential work centered on the home study assignments will be a large part of the day’s class work. There will be discussions about professional presentation of yourself and your business, as well as points on being an ethical hypnotist. Learn what the client is saying through his/her body language and eye movement is presented. Accessing what the client “really” wants assistance with is often the largest part of a hypnosis session.
Hypnosis: Regression Therapy
300: When working with Regression Hypnosis, it is essential to be aware of the “games” that a client may use to avoid getting to the root cause of an issue. Learn some techniques to get through those “blocks”. Working with the nuances of a client is the key to successfully assisting the client. Realize that when working with Regression Therapy, there may be clients who have challenges using the visual channel. Learn techniques to assist the client to open their visual channel. Become aware of how to assess the client’s ability to visualize during the initial phone interview.
Hypnosis: Spiritual
400: There are times when working with a client that you will discover issues of a person’s connection to his/her Higher Source that need to be addressed. After working with regression therapy in previous classes, you can access the client’s beliefs regarding the source of the problem - such as agreements to come back and do certain work, anger at God, not wanting to be on this Earth. All of these topics and more are delicate and important issues to deal with. Techniques and skills are developed in the class.
Hypnosis: Pain Management
501: The ability to release pain without medications is available to many people through the use of hypnosis. Accessing the parts of the mind and body that promote healing can be done and can create radical changes in a person’s health. Often times, pain and illness are caused by a memory that needs to be released from the body. Through the use of hypnosis, the natural healing of the body can be accessed.
Hypnosis: Stress Management
502: Stress can be the foundation of a lot of illness and other problems in a person’s life. Helping a client to create other options for dealing with stress can create new perspectives in dealing with how the client can live their life. Perspective is how we deal with life. A new positive perspective can assist a client in living a stress-free life.
Hypnosis: Dealing with Abuse
503: Patterns of abuse are learned early in life, and the source is often forgotten. The person continues to repeat the patterns in minor or intense ways, time and again. Repeated challenges in life like the wrong type of mate, abusive bosses, and money challenges can all be related to learned patterns from childhood which can be changed to more positive ways of living life.
Hypnosis: Dealing with Addictions
504: Addictions come in many unexpected forms. Addiction is about the “need” to have something rather than just wanting it. People often have addictions that they have a challenge even identifying. When someone is constantly in abusive relationships, which is a form of addiction, the person is addicted to abuse. It is a pattern learned and the person is unable to substitute a positive action or reaction in its place, thereby creating a new positive pattern. Learn how to access positive belief systems that can replace the negative addictions.
Case Taking Skills 101, 102
The ability to ask questions, in a way that the client divulges all of the important answers, is a talent that must be developed to make a good practitioner. No matter what the modality, clients are accustomed with giving short and incomplete answers, often forgetting pertinent points in their health history. It is important to realize that a simple question like “how do you feel?” has many possible responses, depending on the interpretation of the word “fine.” Each client has their own pain scale, their emotional upset threshold, and their own level of being unconscious or confused. It is the good communicator that can learn to speak the language of the person that they are conversing with. This is the process that is worked with in these classes.
Clinical Reflexology
Reflexology 100
Explore the history of reflexology from ancient times to present day advances and the development of zone theory into present day reflexology. Experience simple techniques to get you started. Systematically learn and work with different anatomy systems, their basic functions and positions on the feet.

Reflexology 200
New techniques and desserts are presented for foot reflexology. Next, the similarity between foot and hand reflexology is discussed.

Reflexology 300
A whole new world of approaching reflexology is presented through body reflexology. Learn points on the head, face, ears, legs and more that access a greater level of healing through reflexology. The client will be able to do personal health workouts to promote their healing between sessions. More patterns of healing for new disorders are presented during this course.
Reflexology 401, 402, 403, 404
Learn to incorporate other natural health options with your reflexology practice. In these classes we explore natural health options to deal with specific disorders. Explore the causes of the specific disorders, along with diet, exercise and natural remedies that can assist in the healing process. Learn evaluative techniques to assist in the healing of the client. Working with and understand the bones, muscles and tendons of the feet and hands.
Clinical Approaches to Reflexology 501, 502, 503, 504
Reflexology is becoming more acceptable in the medical community. Knowing the appropriate ways to do case taking, recording reports and gathering data to present in a clinical manner can really assist your business, and further validate your work as a reflexologist. There will also be exploration of meridian work as related to the feet and how meridians work in the body.
Aromatherapy Blending
How do scents affect our lives? How can a practitioner utilize essential oils and blends in the healing process? What makes a “good” aromatherapy blend? All this and more about how to work with thirteen essential oils, and a few carrier oils that can create health supporting blends for use with other therapies or by themselves to assist the client are a part of this class.
Energy Therapeutics
Homeopathy: Introduction to
Discussion of the history and philosophy of Homeopathy is a basic foundation for this course. Working with the philosophy of the Law of Similars and Hahnemann’s “like cures like” concept, a basis for the use and development of Homeopathy expands into the Homeopathy of today. Learning to work with the “whole” person, instead of the causation of the disease, is the next step in the development of a personal philosophy of Homeopathy. Understanding potency and frequency of repetition of a remedy are also discussed. Case taking skills, repertorization and choice of remedy for the client for acute cases are presented.
Color Therapy
How color influences your life, health and well-being is a part of every culture. Once we become aware of the ways people, cultures, businesses and belief systems really affect our lives, we can choose with conscious intent to utilize this knowledge and information to enhance all that we have or want in our lives, and dis-empower those aspects of our lives that we want to eliminate. The study of Feng Shui, crystals, stained glass, Five Element Theory and the work of Dinshah are important parts of this course of study.
Crystal Worker
May the Quartz Be with You

Learn of their cultural uses throughout history. Cleansing, programming, communicating, power of intent, energy balancing and layouts are included in this seminar.

This course of study introduces the student to a large variety of these gems and crystals and how they can be used in healing through lay-outs, wearing the crystals, making gem essences, and putting them in power places around your home, office or property. This course gives you an introduction to their use, identification and healing.
Holistic Nutritional Education
Conscious Choices in Eating 101, 102
Learn why each person has their OWN dietary needs. Find out what foods are potentially appropriate for you and your way of life. Explore the issues of emotional eating, familial eating patterns, addictive eating patterns and coping eating patterns. Learn to work with food in a friendly and individualistic manner.
To Eat or Not To Eat 101, 102
Once you realize how food affects your life, you can then learn to explore how the same foods affect you differently depending on what life activities you are engaged in. What is appropriate for a lazy Sunday afternoon is totally different from what you had for that long hike you took on Saturday. In the last two classes, you became conscious of how food affected you in your daily physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance. Now is the time be truly conscious and realize how food is the real fuel for all that you choose to do.
Enzymes 101, 102
“Enzymes are the spark of life. Without them, life could not exist. They are the workers that make your body function.” (Dr. Howard Loomis) Explore how enzymes work in the body. Learn about the different kinds of enzymes and how the body uses them. In these two classes you will learn the 36 palpation points and appropriate questions to ask in finding out where the deficiencies lie for each client.
Enzymes 201, 202
After working with various case studies from the knowledge gained in Enzymes 101 and 102, you will focus on refining your palpation skills. Since being able to recognize the correct muscle tension and texture is the basis for a good evaluation, careful testing and questioning of the clients will be actively addressed in these classes.
Enzymes 300
Once the student is proficient in their palpation skills, it is essential to address the ability to correctly evaluate the information gathered. The day will be spent in careful review of all of the practicum case studies the students have done thus far - in group with their fellow students, under the supervision of the teacher.
Natural Sources of Vitamins and Minerals
Many times the stressors of living life cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the body. As Americans, we take too many multiple vitamins, minerals and other supplements- often times overdosing on these supposed health aids. The healthier way is to find natural options through food, herbs and natural additives to enhance the diet.
Re-creating the Kitchen
How many foods, staples, cooking utensils and implements are in your kitchen that you haven’t used for the past two years? If it has gotten that far and you haven’t done anything about it, it is time to empty all of your cabinets, clean out the refrigerator and freezer, and figure out how you really want to cook and eat! After taking Conscious Choices in Eating and To Eat or Not to Eat, you will now have the ability to eliminate wasted food and space in your kitchen.
Case Taking
201: Case taking skills are the foundation of any successful healthcare practice. Although these skills vary in each modality, with nutrition, in-take is a bigger challenge than in other modalities. There are special forms and skills that are necessary, to develop good rapport with, and acquire excellent background knowledge from your client.

Somatokinetic™ BodyWork
Introduction to Somatokinetic™ BodyWork
The premise of Somatokinetic™ BodyWork is for the practitioner to be able to sense more than the simple technique that is being taught. This introductory class explores the differences between regular massage and body work and the ability to palpate muscles, tendons, etc., and sense the individual energy blockages, as well as the connective line of energy blocks, back to the source - whether it be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. Learning to recognize skin coloration issues, markings on the skin, and veins in inappropriate places are a small part of what the Somatokinetic™ BodyWork courses are about.
Somatokinetic™ BodyWork
There are four levels of Somatokinetic Bodywork. The initial classes 101 and 102 contain some massage work, so as to acclimate the student to thinking of massage in a different way. As a sampling of what is covered in the entire course, there are listings for 101 and 102. The course contains CranioSacral Therapy, Orthobionomy, Deep Tissue Massage and other techniques.
101: This class covers different modalities, starting from the sacral and lumbar areas, then to the thoracic, with Orthobionomy techniques. Next, simple massage techniques are explored in the shoulder/neck area, and lastly, work the rhythm of CranioSacral at the skull area.

Massage
Massage will be experienced and explored from an “energy feeling” way of working. Even though the massage will be simple for those who may have worked with massage before, the ability to sense and work with the energy in the muscles, tendons and entire body will add a new dimension to massage. Once again, here is a sampling of what is covered in the massage classes.
101: Basic techniques of massage, working with the arms, hands, legs and feet are the focus of this introductory class in massage. Draping, massage creams, oils and blends and paperwork are also introduced. The practitioner learns to be comfortable with working on the client’s body and possible ways of dealing with client questions about what a medical massage is.
102: Work continues with addressing the muscles of the upper back, neck and ribs.

Pathology
Looking at disorders from a natural healing perspective is how pathology is studied in these classes. Determining the medical explanation and causation of a disorder can be found in textbooks. Discovering the wholistic approach to the disease is how these classes are taught.
Anatomy
Exploring and experiencing the connectiveness of the body’s bones, muscles and tendons, as well as how diet, stress, exercise and disease affect each part of the body, is what is to be set up in these classes. Examine how a knee problem (a potential for surgery) could really be a problem with the hip and a side effect of menopause. How the practitioner looks at the anatomy of the body affects the ability of the client to create a healing journey.
Case Taking Skills
The ability to ask questions, in a way that the client divulges all of the important answers, is a talent that must be developed to make a good practitioner. No matter what the modality, clients are accustomed to giving short and incomplete answers, often forgetting pertinent points in their health history. It is important to realize that a simple question like “How do you feel?” has many possible responses depending on the interpretation of the word “fine.” Each client has their own pain scale, their emotional upset threshold, their own level of being unconscious or confused. It is the good communicator that can learn to speak the language of the person that they are conversing with. This is the process that is worked with in this seminar, so that the practitioner gets the answers that help the client to get better.
Exercise and Healing
Exercise is one of the most important aspects of healing. So often the people who need it the most, think that they can’t exercise because they are too sick, hurt too much, are too tired, or whatever. If the client is awake and can think and visualize, the exercise process can happen. This class is about exercise for the healing process to happen for those who are sick and really want to heal.
Aromatherapy & Blending
How do scents affect our lives? How can a practitioner utilize essential oils and blends in the healing process? What makes a “good” aromatherapy blend? All this and more about how to work with thirteen essential oils and a few carrier oils can create health supporting blends for use with other therapies or by themselves to assist the client are a part of this class.

Creating Healthy Human Interaction
In human relationships, so much is focused on creating a relationship that can lead to a romantic prospect. In reality, all interactions between two (or more) humans are based on either a healthy interaction or continued patterns of abusive coping mechanisms. Discovering patterns of healthy interaction and learning to acknowledge those patterns that need help is the basis of the class.
Creative Expression
Creativity has been judged since the child first tried to do “something” in a manner different than the parent. The first step of creativity in the relationship between child and adult was the word “NO”. This is why the creative process is so limited in many people’s lives. Judgments limit creativity. Learn how to release those judgments and develop your own creative bent.
Dealing with Death and Grief
Death and grief are not limited to the loss of the physicality of a loved one. Each microsecond of each day every person experiences loss. Because of the way that we are taught in today’s society, some losses have a greater impact than others. The truth is that the cycle of “death” – “endings” – “completion” – “space for something new” – “rebirth” must all be explored, for they are all the same. A person’s reaction or response to the situation is what brings about grief or rejoicing. Learn to reframe the emotions to what is truly appropriate for you.
Family Counseling
The basic format of working with a family in a counseling situation is discussed. This is the basic introductory class for an entire program focusing on family counseling. It is a good starter in considering if the student wants to include working with families as a part of their ministry. Realize that the family is a unit, and each member of the unit has feel validated and worthy of participating in the health and growth of the family. When one member of the family responds in a dysfunctional manner the entire family is dysfunctional. The family stop to operate in health and love.

Nutrition for Children
Proper eating for children begins in the womb. What the mother eats is often what the child craves as they grow older. All of the craving that the mother has while the child is in the uterus is what the child develops a desire for in growth – ice cream becomes the need for sweets and fatty foods etc. Retraining a child to eat healthy means even looking at how T.V. advertising affects children.
Natural Health Options for Immune Deficiencies
Constant sinus problems, reoccurring skin disorders, arthritis, fibromyalgia, as well as HIV and AIDS are all immune deficiencies, along with a lot of other physical, emotional and mental health problems. Learn basic natural healthcare options to assist in the healing process, along with diets, exercise and stress reducing protocols to assist in the health creating process.
Perceptions of Stress
Stress is neither positive nor negative. It is how we perceive it and deal with it that counts. Learn to look at life’s stressors in a new way and grow from them, rather than having them wear you down. The ability to change perception and be flexible is the ability to deal with stress.
Positive and Negative Causality (Love vs. Fear)
The opposite of love is fear. Living our life in love, and therefore trust, creates wonderful realities. Living our life in fear, and therefore abuse and distrust, creates unhappiness and failure. Learn to identify the coping mechanism that creates the fear/distrust/abuse pattern. Learn to take other options to health.
