Healing Touch Course 2 Energetic Pattrerning and Clinical Applications
Vergennes, Vermont
Saturday & Sunday, May 9 & 10, 2026
Energy Medicine Intensive - May 16 - 21, 2026.
Taking the course in a continuous, immersion style profoundly changes the experience. Rather than breaking the work into small fragments over several months, the uninterrupted format allows the energy to build, layer, and integrate day after day. The result is a stronger synergy of group resonance, deeper healing and energetic clearing, and a more rapid unfolding of intuitive and spiritual capacities.
Participants frequently report that during an immersive format:
-
Their intuition sharpens in noticeable and practical ways
-
Their vibration rises steadily, day after day, without “resetting” between weekends
-
There is greater access to inner guidance, imagery, and subtle information
-
Emotional and energetic blockages unravel more fully and permanently
-
The group field becomes a catalyst, accelerating personal transformation
-
Integration is easier because the body-mind isn’t repeatedly leaving and re-entering the training
-
Breakthroughs in areas that had been stagnant for years
-
A sense of energetic “reset” — lighter, clearer, more embodied
-
Returning home changed — not just informed
This 6-day intensive is designed not only to teach techniques, but to establish a living energetic shift in your system—one that continues to inform your awareness, your healing practice, and your inner life long after the training is complete. Although Energy Medicine Parts 1–5 are often taught as three separate weekend courses for $375 per weekend ($1,125 total), we are offering this training as a single 6-day immersive intensive for $900.
Course Description: The Energy Medicine course is an integrative, complementary, and preventative therapy in energy medicine that promotes personal transformations and healing with an emphasis on psycho-spirituality. Utilizing a comprehensive energetic assessment and co-creative process, interventions are used to alter energy flow with the intent to heal the body, emotion, mind, and spirit, thus achieving optimal health. Each of the 5 parts offered, Clearing the Internal Self, Identifying & Healing Wounds, Changing Limiting Beliefs, Healing Relationships Energetically, and Reshaping Family Energy Patterns, addresses a specific issue or concept and its impact on the energy system, then explores specific interventions based on the identified need. A safe and trusting environment is provided. Not only are you learning to do this work as a Healer, you are also going through the process yourself for a first hand experience. This allows participants to share and experience deep holistic healing through group process, providing the opportunity for personal growth as well as how to work with clients.
Each class day begins with a meditation to identify an issue, draw inspiration cards to narrow down your issue, complete a drawing and interpret energetically with a partner, share and demonstrate examples of the process. A complete assessment is completed including a pendulum assessment of the chakras through the 7 layers of the field giving 49 points of information; assessing the field in the past, present & future; assessing the Hara Line position and the Soul Star, ID, Soul Seat, Tan Tian, Earth Star and Core of the Earth; and assessing the Core Star through the 7 layers of the field. The afternoon is spent exchanging specific energetic interventions for the appropriate issue brought by the client to the table. A full reassessment follows. What takes us all day to be in our own process, learning and treating another, with practice will result in a 1.5 - 2 hour client session.
Part 1 – Clearing the Internal Self - day 1
