The two year program, offers training to recognize and guide healing, at the confluence of talk and touch. When talk and touch are combined with awareness, there is a depth of understanding that is physical, emotional, energetic, spiritual and intellectual.
Why is it important? To connect is to be human and through talk and touch, SATT builds trust, and increases the therapeutic alliance. It is a new and complimentary approach which can be woven into any existing practise for the benefit of the client/patient and practitioner. The bodymind connection, as taught in SATT, is an invaluable tool to integrate into a professional practise. People also take the course for their own personal development.
Gilly Thomas developed SATT to address the gap that exists when there is talk and no touch (mind) and when there is touch and no talk (body). This holistic approach is based on western medical science and eastern belief, through an integration of alternative therapies.
The program is currently offered in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. It is an area of the country that has four gentle seasons and abundant growth.
