Windemere Institute of Healing Arts

Welcome to Windemere!

Our extensive curriculum of personal, energy and body well being studies is offered in 4-day modules which meet only once each month--a perfect opportunity for one to immerse one self in focused learning while still tending to family and employment. Our retreat campus is an easy drive from Des Moines, Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis and surrounding areas. Limited on site lodging is available for no additional fee!

We emphasize that the healing arts are most effectively offered when they are fully integrated into the practitioners' life ways and we therefore build a foundation of personal awareness and self care in preparation for learning strategies for healing others.

Our four (4) tracks of study include:

Personal Well Being

The core curriculum at Windemere Institute of Healing Arts focuses on promoting well being on the personal level. This series of four (4) modules provides introductions to meditation, Reiki, Qi Gong and several other personal healing practices. Students spend time experiencing the practices and are encouraged to develop their own daily practice to live in balance in every moment.

Energy Well Being

This curriculum focuses on the energetic aspect of our material existence for work with one's self and with others. This series of eight (8) modules provides information and experience in Usui Reiki Levels 2 & 3 and advanced energy healing practices. All of the practices work toward raising the energetic vibration level by healing and transcending trauma. Students work with each other to develop proficiency in the advanced healing practices.

Body Well Being

This curriculum focuses on the physical aspect of our material existence for work primarily with others. This series of twelve (12) modules provides information and training leading to licensure as a massage therapist. After the core anatomy and physiology content is covered, required body work modalities include Deep Tissue Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Tuina, Seitai Shiatsu and Thai massage. Additional modalities are offered as electives. Students are provided time in class to develop proficiency and then participate in a clinic for public clients.

Energy & Body Well Being

The Practitioner of Healing Arts ("PHA") diploma is offered to students who complete all three series of courses, Personal Well Being, Energy Well Being and Body Well Being. The entire PHA program may be completed within 2 calendar years, with 26 modules. A Windemere Practitioner of Healing Arts completes the program with an array of tools to work with clients at the energetic and physical levels of their existence.
