The New Quantum Interweave©: Taking Therapy to the Next Level
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to share with you that my new book on mind-body-spirit healing will be published next month. It has been endorsed by Dr. Christiane Northrup and I am excited about the good that I hope it will do.
Using core ideas that developed as I was researching and writing the book, I have developed a new Quantum Interweave for clinicians (both EMDR and non-EMDR therapists.) I will be teaching this workshop in various parts of the world this year, and I wanted to make you aware that I will teach it in Ottawa on Friday April 16, followed by a shorter optional consultation day on Saturday the 17th. I’d love to have you there!
Below is a link to the workshop, on my website. Early registration deadline is coming up, and space is limited. The CCPA is offering 12 credit hours for the two days, and non-CCPA members may apply for transcripts of the CEUS. http://www.kitchur.com/workshops/quantum-secrets/ottawa/
Also, if your contact info has changed, please forward me an email if you would like to be updated in the Directory of therapists on my website. (I expect people will be using the Directory in greater numbers after the release of the book, and I would like you to benefit.)
Please feel free to forward this email to anyone you feel might be interested.
