Successful Final Individual Supervision |
Additional Requirements: a) 100 hours of Massage b) 100 hours of Anatomy/Physiology courses. c) the 50 hour Presence of Being course or other psychology based training, such as Prenatal Journey, Hakomi or Bioenergetics Further Explanation This is the "surface" certification, in which neither of the two underwater trainings of Healing Dance are involved. This Certification is designed for Australia and New Zealand and is recognized by WABA. Before certification students may of course use the techniques in sessions, but not say or advertise that they do sessions of Healing Dance. For instance, it would be quite okay to say, "I am studying Healing Dance." "I am on my way toward becoming a Practitioner of Healing Dance." "I use techniques of Healing Dance in my sessions." Practitioner status lasts for 3 years. During that time to extend it indefinitely, one audits or assists a HD course. Practitioner status gives you a certificate, a posting on the Healing Dance website, the right to use the Healing Dance logo and the right to say and advertise that you practice Healing Dance. For instance, "I am a Healing Dance Practitioner." "I give sessions of Healing Dance." If you move outside of Australia or New Zealand to a country where another Healing Dance Practitioner Certification program is in effect, you will need to comply with those requirements. Those who have completed the HD100 and its Supervision Day and wish to become HD Practitioners may take either: a) a "mop up" course combining the missing elements from HDI and II, followed by a Final Supervision (as taught by either Alexander George, Inika Spence, Theri Thomas or Ashaman Gray) b) a HDI or HDII and then have the instructor (either Erez Beatus (for HDI), Alexander George, Inika Spence, Theri Thomas or Ashaman Gray) lead them through a final Integration Day in which what was missing still would be taught. This Integration day should directly follow the HDI or HDII, which the same teacher would lead. The students work would be evaluated as being up to Practitioner standard or not. If not, then additional sessions could be required as well as a private Supervision. For both a) and b) the same land requirements as normally required for HD Practitioners apply. No additional logged session would be required as they have already completed 30.
