Compassion Fatigue: Risks, Symptoms & Interventions

Presented by Diane Strickland
Valuable people are stepping away from crucial and meaningful work because they are worn so thin they don’t recognize themselves anymore. Others stay in those roles with diminished capacity and effectiveness. Whether they are in paid or unpaid positions, their very strengths for caring about others make them vulnerable to becoming less effective at work and negatively impacted in their personal lives. They need information about their risk for compassion fatigue, how to nurture self-awareness, and to learn simple strategies that can prevent or diminish the negative impact of Compassion Fatigue. Caring people are rare gifts to our communities and families, and they deserve our attention. Give that gift to yourself, first.

Fascia & Fractals: A Fascinating Phenomenon of Living and Healing

Presented by Elke Nowicki
This presentation, discussing the relationship between fascia and fractal geometry, is geared to deepen an understanding of health conditions involving our fascial system. The human fascia is the system that allows for our range of motion. As either students, certified healers or instructors of Healing Touch, we understand about the wide range of healing and energizing that comes from taking the time to get on a table. One way of expressing the advantages offered by healing touch comes from specialized knowledge for a target population. In this case the special population would be those dealing with restricted mechanical motion or excessive training. The hands of healing touch therapists emit strong bio magnetic fields which have a direct vibratory effect on our fascial system.
​
The presentation will explore what this fascia is that healers effect and what it looks like.  Healer visualization produces a readiness of healing potential. To aid in strengthening that visualization this presentation will incorporate a power point to illustrate key terms and video clips of the human fascia as filmed during surgery. Self-care is an important component of healing touch and self-care exercises to increase the range of motion, heal scar tissue or perhaps change the effects of aging in which, the intrinsic physiology of the fascia alters will also be offered. Class participants will receive a typed copy of the presentation.
