Up, Over and Down Under

What happens when Therapeutic Touch becomes more than a practice?

Join Susie Gregory and Jane Hall on October 20 for Living TT a lively, inspiring and experiential conversation exploring what it means to live Therapeutic Touch (TT). Drawing on their diverse journeys through health, leadership, counselling, business, spiritual growth and community building. From living with long Covid and working alongside Indigenous healing in the desert, coaching and facilitating executive teams, to leading organisations, facilitating conferences and retreats, and integrating TT with counselling and IFS, Susie and Jane will share the unexpected ways has shaped their lives—and repeatedly called them back to its simplicity, humility and invitation to trust.

At the heart of their exploration is a deceptively simple question:

What does it really mean to live TT?

 

Together, they will explore the humility, trust and deepening awareness that TT invites—and why, as Cathy Fanslow describes it,

TT is “profoundly simple and simply profound.”

This is more than a conversation. You’ll have an opportunity to explore your own TT journey through an experiential small-group activity, share insights with the wider community, and begin to consider how TT might become a lens for living more deeply.

TT Pockets

The New EXEC

The new TTAA executive met for our first meeting since taking office. We held a reflective session where we looked at where TTAA as an association has been in the past, whats' been happening,  what’s happening now, and what’s missing. Whilst TTAA as been quiet for several years in terms of conferences and retreats and demonstrations at trade fairs , Therapeutic Touch activities have been happening none the less in small pockets here and there. Here are few things happening at the moment …. 

 

Jenny Cameron Shared her Story of the Distance Healing Group She Runs

'That group on Wednesday's  started with four people who were in hospital and just said, “Could you send me some healing ?” The people were totally disconnected  - like none of them were connected, none of them knew each other. It spread by word of mouth. I’ll often get people put a name on the list  because they've got a sick grandchild or something.  The numbers vary from 20 to 80 each fortnight. It can vary quite dramatically.  I'm committed to it because  I get the messages back like” thank goodness it's healing week this week because this has happened “ , or, "oh I'm so glad it's Wednesday night again”.  You know I get  little messages back and it makes me think well, I'll keep going  because it's obviously benefiting people. It's well worth it!”

Susie Gregory shared a story of the “Grounding" What’s app group 

A number of years ago I ran a workshop  on grounding  for a group of Jane's students - maybe  some 6, 7, 8 years ago. The participants were to  practice grounding for  21 days and  shared their experiences through writing them up in the ‘Grounding” whats app group. For example,  what it was like grounding, what they learnt, or what they noticed,  the hitches they had along the way or how they deepened. This whats  app group still runs on an adhoc basis  with little requests for healing and messages of encouragement’s and it  very authentic.  People are very honest and very open about their experiences. With the honesty and  vulnerable a resilient caring for each other has emerged  that has been resilient of these years   Maybe there are about   15 or 20  members. Posts are every now, then perhaps in  rest mode for 2 or 3 months or sometimes 4, then somebody will share a photo, or an experience and the message sharing starts up again.  The group is also very supportive when someone needs  grounding and sending healing.

Advanced TT Mentoring with Jane Hall 

Advanced mentoring is a great way for those who are experienced in practising TT to share their knowledge, wisdom and experience as we explore how to deepen ourselves and our TT practice.  Since March 2025 I have been offering an Advanced Mentoring group which meets every month to workshop for 2 hours.  While each each workshop has differed in detail there is an overall structure.  We start with a meditation followed by a writing and reflection process which allows us to deepen our experience.  Then members of the group take it in turns each month to present a TT practice question or a give a case presentation. As mentor I provide feedback and support reflection and exploration in the group, allowing a rich perspective on TT practice to develop.  There may also be some sharing of up to date information from the TT world or related areas that can enhance understandings, knowledge and TT practice for instance material from the TTIA Congress or from the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS).  There may also be provision of distance TT to each other, sometimes exploring a new process or approach from TT sources and always involving reflection.  We have found that the Advanced Mentoring program has deepened our connection to the consciousness of TT and to each other which has been very nourishing.  The program will continue in 2027 in February and will be run as before as a series of 3 workshops.  Please let me know if you would like to join in.

President's Message

Not everyone in TTAA is connected in to a group of TT'ers for sharing and giving healing. Since commencing as President, I have been pondering where to from here, and what is  possible  that is simple, easy and doable for everyone to stay connected in TT. As care givers we need support too and It would be nice for all of our members to know that there is TT for you when you need it, and that others care -  especially  as our world turns a few somersaults.  Compassion goes a long way and multiplies, like a snow ball rolling down a hill getting bigger.
