This special evening (Thursday, November 19th 2009) included a panel composed of long-time teachers and practitioners:
Brian Utting, Jeanette Wahl, Lauren Christman, and Jack Blackburn,
and was moderated by Michael Hamm
- representing much of the diversity in the bodywork community.
This first seminar was a chance to come together to discuss what is happening currently in our profession and consider the possibilities in the future. It was intended to probe certain questions that affect all bodyworkers: e. g. Where will bodywork fit in national health care; how can bodyworkers move beyond the perception that we are here to "fix" our clients? The seminar was attended by over 90 persons and we have received great feedback and suggestions for future seminars.
