I cut and pasted this Craniosacral Dolphin Therapy information off of the Upledger site. I have participated in the Beginner and Advanced Training with the Dolphins and can say that they are exceptional programs. Something to be put on the life bucket list for sure! I am new to the Columbus area, and would be thrilled to work with clients who are interested in Craniosacral Therapy, and support their transition to the program in the Bahamas. Maybe even jump on a plane to go assist!
Interspecies Learning
DATIP July 25-28, 2013 Freeport, Bahamas (New Dates for 2016 now available)
This four-day Comprehensive Therapy Program includes dolphins and their incredible ability to assist healing. We consistently find the dolphins to be active participants in the therapeutic process. This is combined with traditional CranioSacral Therapy (CST) in the beautiful and supportive environment of the Bahamas.
In the Integrative Intentions Dolphin Assisted Therapy program, we trust and facilitate the inclusion of our natural environment in the healing process. CST therapy is our primary modality and relies upon the innate healing capacities of our own nature. Dolphins offer their assistance in the healing process. We intend to facilitate, with their assistance, to bring holistic dimensions into your therapy. Dolphins frequently offer us their unique ability to facilitate healing. We will be respectfully asking them to participate and assist in your healing process. This brings some unique holistic dimensions into this work.
We have found that the uniqueness of each individual exchange with dolphins brings a very individualized, specific and universal dynamic to the process. Regardless of what you have read or been told by others and the images you might have, we invite you to come and experience for yourself.
Advance Preparation: Recommended Reading: Dolphins and Their Power to Heal. We also have some valuable information for you regarding your BioAquatic Exploration experience, available at http://www.upledger.com/seminar_info/Terms/BADAinfo.doc
Supplies: What to Bring:
Essential items:
– Swimsuit appropriate for Therapy
– Lip protection with sunblock
– Hat
– Windbreaker
– Light sweater or fleece top
– Clothing for layering, including a long-sleeve shirt that you don’t mind getting wet
– Waterproof bag for items that must remain dry
– Ear plugs – (if you choose to wear ear plugs while in the water)
– Sunscreen (Anything that says “faces” on it will not burn your eyes in the salt water)
– Water shoes
Shoes are worn in the ocean to protect feet from sharp rocks and shells; they need to have solid soles and sides. These would be necessary for work in the water in the afternoon, but are not necessary for the dolphin therapy.
Optional items:
– Snacks
– Cameras (Underwater photography is not allowed at the Dolphin Experience)
– Zinc Oxide
– Wetsuit (advised for those who may be concerned about their body temperature, infants and small children. The water temperature will probably be in the high 70’s to 80’s.) The shop at UNEXSO sells suits of various sizes and thicknesses to fit most people, however, there is less available for little ones.)
Attire: Please wear a bathing suit appropriate for therapy, under your clothes, bring a towel and clothes to change into later.
Times: The patients and therapists will meet each morning at 9:00 a.m. At that time each patient discusses his or her treatment experiences, any noticeable changes, asks questions and expresses themselves. Staff members will answer any questions or concerns participants may have and review a brief outline of the day’s schedule. We usually have a short time for table work after which the group will then walk a short distance to UNEXSO where we need to sign in and await the boat or bus which we will board and ride to the Dolphin Experience. Once we arrive at Sanctuary Bay, the location of the DAT portion of the CTP, we disembark and walk on a boardwalk which takes us up a ramp to the waiting area, then down a steep ramp to the dolphin area. We are at this location for approximately one hour.
After the Dolphin Experience, you will take a break for lunch. You may either return to your hotel, or explore The Lucayan Marketplace for lunch or shopping (across the street from The Radisson Hotel and the Reef Hotels and next to Pelican Bay). The remainder of the day will be spent in multi-therapist sessions in the conference therapy room on tables or in the water, as is appropriate for each client.
