Exploring Alternative Aquatics: A Unique Mobile Workshop for Practitioners

In the relatively unexplored and, by definition, fluid area of alternative aquatic bodywork that employs intuitive and subtle energy-related sensitivities, it is challenging to record and research effects.  But it is also important that we value and respect the skills required to practice in this way, and that we begin to acknowledge unique benefits and applications. Sara Firman, Presenter of Alternative Aquatics/ Aquapoetics

Meet me in Chicago at ATRI's Aquatic Healthcare Conference, 19-22 Nov. 2009

I'd love to share some of what I most value about Alternative Aquatics* with you in two exploratory presentations (on land and in the water) at the ATRI National Aquatic Healthcare Conference in Chicago this November:

Documenting Alternative Aquatics (talk and sharing)

and

Developing Intuitive Skills in Aquatics (experiential; CEC/ CEU credit)

Come and share your own view of how, or if, alternative approaches can contribute to aquatic therapeutics. These are just two offerings in the usual good selection of aquatics offered by the Aquatic Therapy and Rehab. Institute.  Go here for the full program.
