APPROACHES TO HEALING
.jpeg)
ALTERNATIVE & COMPLIMENTARY HEALTHCARE
Explore our healthcare system from a different angle, while exposing students to a world of healing & healthcare fields outside mainstream care. Students participate in investigative discussions, exploratory activities, and alternative health "stations", as they explore different modalities, learn & attempt alternative assessment and diagnostics techniques, and develop health skills through role playing both client and practitioner. (i.e. iridology, tongue diagnostics, consultation and assessment strategies, herbal medicine, aromatherapy, acupressure/acupuncture, etc..). Each modality & technique will offer students some simple self-care strategies to assess, monitor, and maintain their own health, provide exposure to guide future career and study possibilities, and guide their potential future clients to information and alternative treatment options. Students will dive into a Reach Ahead by participating in an interactive lab (manufacturing an alternative healthcare product), which culminates in the exploration and discussion of career/study pathways into various alternative health fields.

BREATHWORK EXPERIENCE
This is an all-in-one training and experiential learning workshop. For SHSM, it can be used as your Approaches to Healing elective, as an experiential learning, or advanced training for the arts. For the regular classroom, infuse as a curriculum add-on or in-class field trip as an adjunct to your science/biology, or health curriculum topics around respiration. For the arts, use for music or performance based training where breathwork is a critical part of the task. Fundamentals of breathing will be covered, including the 5 types of breathing (nasal, diaphramatic, rate, rhythm, and deep breathing), followed by a demonstration of each. Students will explore various applications for each, and optimal type of breathing for specific conditions (i.e. sleep, anxiety, focus/concentration etc). Last students will get the opportunity to participate in a breathwork experience. The experience itself is about 1 hour.

Singing bowls are tuned at strategic frequencies for healing and relaxing different parts of the body and mind.
