History The Harbin School of Healing Arts was established in 1979 as the Niyama School of Healing Arts at Harbin Hot Springs in Middletown, CA. In 1985, it was purchased by Harold Dull and renamed the School of Shiatsu and Massage. In June 1994, ownership was transferred to the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association (WABA). Note that although classes have always been held at Harbin Hot Springs facilities, at times the School was a separate entity from Harbin. From 1979 to 2001, the School has rented Harbin workshop spaces and pools for its classes. From 2001 to 2006, the School was the sole tenant of the Watsu Center facility at Harbin, and held its land and water classes in its unique domes and pools. In 2007, the Watsu Center facility was returned to Harbin to be used for hotel guests. It has been renamed the Harbin Domes. The School has returned to renting other workshop spaces on Harbin property for its classes (which may include the pools at the Harbin Domes). In 2008, WABA sold the School to the Bodywork Career Institute, LLC. In 2013, BCI sold the School of Shiatsu and Massage to The Heart Consciousness Church, dba Harbin Hot Springs. Harbin Hot Springs renamed the school to The Harbin School of Healing Arts. BPPE School Code 1700041. www.bppe.ca.gov. Watsu® is registered and owned by WABA. Waterdance™ was developed by Arjana Brunschwiler and Aman Schroter. Healing Dance™ was developed by Alexander Georgepopolous. Student Code of Conduct & Ethics Students are expected: 1.

In its own secluded mountain valley, the 1700-acre site is abundant with trees, meadows, clean air, streams and wildlife. Once healing grounds for Native Americans and, later, a famous turn-of-the-century resort, it is now home to a community of over 150 people who maintain it as a retreat and learning center. Harbin is home of the Heart Consciousness Church which upholds the philosophy that everyone is free to follow one’s own spiritual path. It is the ideal setting for the caring, growth-centered touch that our programs facilitate. Some of Harbin’s attractions include numerous hiking trails, daily yoga classes, a sauna and of course the famous mineral pools, which are spring-fed and heated by natural geothermal activity. There are two body temperature pools, one hot pool (113 degrees F), one cold pool and one large unheated swimming pool. People from all over the world come to enjoy Harbin’s mineral pools where swimsuits and clothing are optional. “Clothing optional” means that personal expression, acceptance and safety are valued above all else and that you always have the right to choose whether or not to be nude. Guidelines for a Bodywork Intensive Time An intensive is intense! You will be in a communal, structured learning environment for 50 class hours in a five-day period or 100 class hours in an eleven-day period. Typically, there is additional practice, study, personal care, and recreation that add substantially to those hours. We recommend that you come well rested and to leave your personal and work related worries behind. Experienced students suggest that you pay the extra fees and arrive at Harbin one day before your class begins, to prepare yourself for what is to come and stay on one day after your class ends, to integrate what you have experienced and prepare to go back into the world with your new knowledge. Sleep Getting adequate rest and good nutrition is extremely important during class time. No cot or bedding is provided so bring whatever you need to sleep comfortably- including earplugs if you are a light sleeper. For our own peace and the peace of fellow students, we request quiet from 10:00pm until 7:00am. Likewise, we request that no alarm clocks ring or loud noises be made while others are still sleeping in the early morning. If you are a night owl or an early riser, there are other locations to socialize, read, etc. 10 Attentiveness Your quality of attention in class will make an enormous difference in how much you retain. Taking “power nap” during an afternoon break can keep your mind fresh for the afternoon session. Another way to increase retention is to simulate the movements of the instructor during the demonstration and visualize the sequence before going to sleep. Having a class buddy to review the day’s material or utilizing the class assistants will enhance your learning. Sometimes academic information can be overwhelming and it is appropriate to set realistic goals. Many years are typically required to become proficient in any skill and massage is no different. Remember, we all begin our journey from a different place, so try not to compare yourself to others. If you find that a course is particularly challenging, consider auditing it as you may learn even more the second time. Water Classes Aquatic bodywork classes can be especially draining on your physical body. Hydration, skin moisturizing and ear care are especially important. Speak to your instructor and assistants immediately if you begin to experience any discomfort. You will also receive a class manual that will describe self-care procedures so that you can concentrate on learning. Meals Students can prepare their own meals or eat at the Harbin or Middletown facilities. For meal preparation, students can use their class room building kitchen, pots, pans, utensils and refrigerator to store and cook their meals. Students are responsible for cleaning up after all meals. You may bring your own food if you want to prepare your own meals. You can also buy food, organic produce, snacks, condiments, etc. at: - Harbin Market (open 9am to 8pm, seven days a week) - Stores in Middletown (10 minutes away, hours vary) Students can buy meals at these Harbin facilities: - Harbin Restaurant: Breakfast 8am to 10am, Dinner 6pm to 8pm - Harbin Market: Lunch available after 12:00 Noon; snacks and prepared food 9am to 8pm - Harbin Blue Room Cafe: snacks and espresso drinks, 7am to 6pm - La Sirena Poolside Cafe: sandwiches, salads, smoothies, May to Sept, Noon to 5pm (closed in winter) Middletown has many restaurants available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A list of places and hours will be given to you at your class orientation. 11 Training Program Certificates Students are welcome to take one, two or a series of classes that interest them, without being required to set up and commit to a formal program of study. If a desire develops to complete a Training Program Certificate, completed classes can be used to satisfy required or elective class requirements. But a student can also set up a plan to complete a Training Program Certificate program, using the Certificate Worksheet form. To become a proficient bodyworker, it is reasonable to estimate 500 to 1000 hours of training and a year’s worth of practice. Prior to registering for classes with the School, students are encouraged to check with their local state, city or county ordinances for licensing requirements and the number of hours they require in bodywork training in order to set up practice within these areas. Students can tailor most of the Training Program Certificate classes to suit their interests as long as they participate in all required classes and choose from a wide range of land and water electives. Please refer to the elective requirements of each training program. Land Training Program Certificates The Harbin School of Healing Arts offers the following Land Training Program Certificates*.

I also understand that being held as close as is required while being floated, can bring up issues that people have about intimacy. I understand that receiving a session in any kind of bodywork from a student always involves a slight risk. I willingly accept that risk and hold no one else responsible for anything that happens to me in my session. Ideally, the kind of heart space the session will help me into, and its continuity, will help me let go whatever comes up into its flow. I understand there have been no medical claims made for this session. I will give feedback the moment anything is uncomfortable. I will let the student know anytime my head, neck, back, etc., do not feel adequately supported. I understand that when I am brought to the end of a session, I am not required to immediately give feedback. I understand that constructive feedback can be very valuable for a student. If I choose not to talk about the session I just received, I will send a note giving feedback afterwards. For more information about the forms being practiced, visit www.watsu.com -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have read and agreed to the above statement and am listing below any conditions that might be affected by a session: • Conditions that might be affected by being in warm water: • Conditions that might be affected by stretching and movement: • Psychological conditions or trauma that might be affected by being held: • Susceptibility to Motion Sickness: • Previous experiences of Aquatic Bodywork: •
