Welcome to “The Reunion” ! This year’s Festival marks our fifth year. We welcome all the Hall of Fame Members, instructors, new attendees, vendors and old friends. We have a great weekend planned for you. There is more than you can possibly do, so just what you want. From the Bluegrass ambiance at the Jam Thursday in Old Town Berea (shuttle available), to shopping some of the Artists’ Studios, from restaurants around Berea to the Closing Ceremony, you will find something to enjoy at Festival. New or a veteran to massage conventions, you will see many things at Festival that you have not seen before at a massage convention. We like that. Let us know if you do too ... or not. The secret is not to try and get every credit hour that you can, we’ll be back next year. Take time to look at the entire schedule, including the entertainment venues and have fun!

November, 2006

June, 2010

We had 2 months to prepare. Bonnie Prudden was the keynote speaker and the first person ever inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame. The event took place at the Pensacola Fairgrounds and there were no classes. We had a Festival attendance of about 50 the first year.

Year Five, of course, is here at Berea College in Kentucky. In our search for a venue, we found a kindred spirit in Berea, whose mission fits in very nicely with our Bridge Builder philosophy. A campus location just feels so right! The lodging and meal costs are much more affordable. WiFi is available campus wide. There is plentiful parking....we may have found the solution to an affordable massage event!

October, 2007 The event was held at the Hadji Shriner Temple in Pensacola, Florida. We offered just a few classes and they all filled up! Our attendance was about 130. We learned we needed more instructors and had to schedule them earlier. August, 2008 Panama City Beach and the Edgewater Resort was our first experience in a resort setting. Our 270+ attendees enjoyed the beach setting, but were less enthused with the resort costs. Another learning experience for us.

July, 2011 The week long event will be at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. Register early for maximum benefits, points and fun! Western Carolina offers residence hall rooms and baths with more privacy and we have a nearly unlimited supply of rooms for 2011, and a dining hall that is open for 13 hours a day! So, no matter what time your classes or event, you’ll still be able to fit in a meal now and then between the fun stuff!

April, 2009

With three years in Florida, one in Texas and now Kentucky, we are ready to “step up” to the next level in 2011, looking at 1500. Every year has been different and here are some thoughts of years gone by.

The Festival came to Texas at the T-Bar-M Resort. The Hill Country outside San Antonio made this location very different from the beach resort of 2008. Lodging was less expensive and meals on site were very well received. Our attendance this year topped 375, and we met Otis!

With a Research / Teacher Conference prior to the Festival itself, a location in the middle of the Nantahala Forest (a great spot to bring the family along for a vacation!) and the prospect of 131 individual classrooms...... look out!

Festival Schedule The Berea College Campus is a unique and fascinating place. Berea continues to build upon a distinctive history of 150 years of learning, labor and service, and find new ways to apply their mission (the Great Commitments) to contemporary times by promoting kinship among all people, serving communities in Appalachia and beyond and living sustainably to conserve limited natural resources. Many of the buildings on campus have been updated to be highly energy efficient and much of the landscaping of the grounds has been reworked with native plants and innovative ways to conserve water usage as well. Feel free to roam around the campus and check out The Appalachian Center in the Bruce Building, the historic Boone Tavern Hotel & Restaurant, EcoVillage, the Geology Museum, and the Log House Craft Gallery. Before the Bluegrass Music & Jam Session, be sure to visit the Old Town Artisan Village in Berea and watch a glassblower, fudge shoppe, pewter items being made and much more!

Few therapists have this kind of opportunity to “test drive” a new technique before investing hundreds of dollars in certification. Thirty-two of these instructors, teaching 2-3 hour classes, give therapists and students this unique opportunity. Next year, we hope to at least double the number of instructors for our “Fast Track Friday” classes. Some have already “re-upped”. We hope you will join us again. And please let these instructors know you appreciate them. One-half, 22, of these instructors are either in the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame or will be inducted by 2012. If you have someone who has helped you or is a mentor, and you feel they should be in the Hall of Fame, please write them in at: www.worldmassagefestival.com/addme.html

Make Sure You Smile! Official WMF Photographer Rich Bistyga, Pennsylvania

Our Philosophy THE BRIDGE BUILDER An old man, going a lone highway, Came at the evening, cold and gray, To chasm, vast and deep and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide.

Official WMF Videographer Ryan Hoyme, Minnesota

“Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again must pass this way; You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide -Why build you the bridge at the eventide?” The builder lifted his old gray head: “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followeth after me today A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pit-fall be, He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building the bridge for him.” Will Allen Dromgoole

2010 Charlotte Hooten Memorial Scholarship Charlotte was a sweet and gentle lady and an ardent supporter of the WMF and our bridge building philosophy. Each year she registered for the next year’s Festival before she left for home. In 2009, she registered for the 2010 Festival on April 27. On July 14, 2009, Charlotte lost her battle with recurring breast cancer in her bones. Charlotte was a “Bridge Builder” throughout her life, including a commission as an Air Force nurse and a 1989 nomination for the President’s Volunteer Action Award. In honor of Charlotte and her commitment to volunteerism, the massage profession and the WMF, each year we will award a fully funded package for the next year’s Festival. It is our hope that this year’s winner of the Charlotte Hooten Scholarship will joyfully attend the 2011 Festival and celebrate Charlotte’s life. Her husband, U.S. Air Force Colonel (retired) Byron R. “Hoot” Hooten, will join us to honor Charlotte and to draw the winning name during the Hall of Fame Ceremony.

Didgeridoo .... a wind instrument developed by Indigenous Australians of northern Australia at least 1,500 years ago Traditionally and originally, the didgeridoo was primarily played as an accompaniment to ceremonial dancing and singing, however, it was also common for didgeridoos to be played for solo or recreational purposes outside of ceremonial gatherings. You will see Cory Costanzo and hear his talent throughout the Festival. He will have a special presentation at the Saturday evening Massage Therapy Hall of Fame Ceremony in the Seabury Arena.

A Tribute to Aunty Margaret Aloha,

somebody cares for me. Somebody loves me.”

This goodbye letter was written by Judi Calvert, co-owner of Massage Magazine and President of The Hands-On Trade Association.

Massage Magazine staff writer Stephen Bogardus went to visit Auntie Margaret and wrote the article about her. After she worked on him, he wrote, “The touch of Auntie Margaret’s hands is unforgettable.” She taught that love and heat are in the palms of the hands, and the power that came through hers was too strong to measure on the Aloha Meter.

I met Auntie Margaret in 1985, when my late husband Robert and I moved to the Big Island from Spokane, Washington. Robert had a vision that we should create a magazine devoted to massage and bodywork. We published our first issue of Massage Magazine in November, 1985. We had heard from several people that it was a Hawaiian custom to have your business blessed before you opened your doors. We asked Auntie Margaret to come and bless Massage Magazine before we sent our first issue out into the world. I will never forget Auntie Margaret’s beautiful smile and her warm aloha as she entered our business. I thought to myself, ‘ah so this is the Hawaiian aloha that people talk about. ‘ The beautiful words that she expressed that day about our magazine, touch and the importance of massage in the world will always stay with me. Robert and I decided to interview Auntie Margaret for our first issue, so therapists could learn about lomilomi massage and Auntie Margaret’s work. As we drove into the driveway of her school of Hawaiian Lomilomi at Ke’ei Beach, I felt the peace and love that infused the land where she had her school. She told us in the interview that her definition of Hawaiian lomilomi is “The loving touch - a connection between heart, hand and soul with the Source of all life.” This is what I experienced when she worked on my shoulders to demonstrate the technique she had developed over 50 years at her healing career. I was just starting out with my career as a therapist, and I learned that day from Auntie that it it’s not only through technique that your clients will get better. It is that “loving touch” that helps heal the body. “Love that body as if it were your own,” she said. “Hawaiian lomilomi is a praying work.” This is the first thing Auntie would tell her students. “When I pray over a patient, a great feeling of calm comes over me. Sometimes I could weep for this person’s pain and troubles,” Auntie told us. But she does not weep. She invokes the Lord’s help and begins to rub. “Then the person relaxes deeper and deeper. If the person feels your heart is sincere, he will receive your energy. His heart will respond: Oh

This was Auntie Margaret’s destiny in this lifetime. She taught lomilomi to hundreds of massage students, and she taught about love. This is what I walked away with after leaving her presence. That is why I am still a massage therapist after 25 years. Robert and I decided to put Auntie Margaret on the front cover for our first anniversary issue of Massage Magazine in 1986. This was also Auntie Margaret’s 70th birthday. During the year, she had been acknowledged as a “Living Treasure of Hawaii” by the Hongwanji Church (Buddhist) on St. Valentine’s Day. She and her husband, Uncle Dan, and their two-and-a-half-year-old adopted daughter, Alohalani, often traveled to the mainland and did teachings and cleansings with their “Kupuna power” - -the energy, or “mana,” of our vital elders. Nothing seemed to slow them down. Auntie Margaret and Uncle Dan were kind enough to travel to San Francisco in 1992 to attend and teach lomilomi at the Anatriptic Arts Expo- an international showcase of hands-on healing arts that Robert and I had organized. Over 12,000 people attended the largest-ever gathering of massage and bodywork practitioners. Robert and I wanted to bring together the original creators of massage and bodywork styles from all over the world. We wanted the public to come to this expo so they could learn about all of the different massage and bodywork modalities that were being taught. The public and massage students loved Auntie Margaret’s speech about lomilomi, and felt her kind, loving heart come through her hands when she demonstrated her techniques to the public during her demonstrations. I feel so blessed to have met Auntie Margaret, and am so happy that she was a part of Massage Magazine throughout the years. Her message was for therapists to send love to their clients through their hands. That is what this world

needs. She knew that, and taught it well.

The BEST Massage Convention!

“Massage Today” Around the World On my last trip to Egypt we took a tour to visit the pyramids at Giza. I knew I had to wear comfortable clothing since the trip was an all day trip that included being in the Desert, climbing around Pyramids and riding on camels. I chose my Massage Today T-shirt thinking to myself this will be fun, it should inspire some interesting conversation and maybe, I laughed to myself, I’ll run into another Massage Therapist and we will compare international notes. The chances of that seemed not too high, but I should have played the Lottery that day because as good luck would have it I actually did meet a young man from Egypt who is a Massage Therapist on one of the cruises on the Nile. He walked over and approached me because he saw and read the T-Shirt. It turned out that my tour was going to be on the ship he was working on in the next few days for a Nile Cruise. Well, can you believe, we hooked up on the cruise at his wonderful Spa on the boat and did a Massage Trade with each other. It was a lovely international experience. I think someone once said “Don’t leave home without it”. Good Advice for an unexpected, shirt-inspired adventure. Sharon Puszko, PhD.

ACCELERATED LEARNING PROGRAM CLASS SCHEDULE 2010

Our seminars will teach you how to make your practice recession proof and ensure a high degree of success with your patients by utilizing Integrative Neurosomatic Therapy, Paul St. John’s newest therapeutic system. The Accelerated Learning Program provides the therapist with all of the courses required for Integrative Neurosomatic Certification. Each level is offered in two (1) week parts. Each one week intensive program allows the student to be immersed in the work and allows for more hands on time than traditional seminars. The ALP allows the student to incorporate the work as a whole rather than learning the information piecemeal. This comprehensive approach to learning allows students to more effectively create treatment plans for their patients. Small class size allows connection with instructors you won’t find in any other class.

“Extended classes are the way to go. It makes it cohesive, so one can see how the parts fit together. I thought the course was fantastic—I simply loved it. I love learning, but this course went far beyond that. I found it truly inspiring to see what is possible.” Vreni Gurd Vancouver, BC “The information presented in this course was inspiring. I don’t think I knew what therapeutic massage was until I took this course. I learned more useful therapeutic massage in two weeks than I learned in six months at massage school.” Dominic Diliberti Clinton Township, MI

"All movement reveals a pattern. These patterns can either support or conflict with our ease and expression in life. Aston Kinetics has been developed over decades to empower every individual to reclaim their own body wisdom and thereby more fully participate in their life" - Judith Aston What is AstonŽ Kinetics? This paradigm is an evolution of realizations by visionary and master teacher Judith Aston. It is about the nature of human existence and reveals our relationship to the planet.

Aston Kinetics is the umbrella for all forms of movement, bodywork, fitness, ergonomics and products for personal and/or professional use. Aston’s system includes massage, myofascial and bodywork, movement education for daily activities, and fitness: loosening, toning and stretching, as well as specialized trainings for Pilates, Yoga, Golfers, Musicians, and more. This work can also facilitate the healing process from injury or surgery. Aston-PatterningŽ is the designated name used by our Certified Aston Practitioners who have completed 100 days of training.

Sudevi’s Thailand Study of Nuad Boran, Thai Yoga Massage I spent a month in Thailand in I.T.T.A’s Thailand externship. When in Thailand, after classes, I took a daily Thai massage and exposed myself to many different practitioners. Much of what I learned about Thai Massage, I didn’t learn in the classroom. I absorbed the Thai culture like a pliant sponge. One of the highlights of my travel was meeting the legendary Mama Lek in Chiang Mei during my free time and having tea with her. Mama Lek’s Chiang Mei school, Lek-Chaiya Nerve-Touch Massage, is well known and her books have been translated in over 30 languages. Mama Lek’s school is famous and is known for it’s use of herbal medicine balls which are filled with Lemon grass and many other fragrant Thai herbs, which are applied on the sen lines all over the body. I have been practicing with the medicine balls since my return in December, 2009. One of the most precious gifts of the Thailand study was a direct blessing from Mama Lek for my success with clients and students, and the prayer that all my work be blessed. Meeting Mama Lek was the true blessing. Another transformational moment for me was chanting the teacher student mantra in the Temple of the Golden Mount over the burial tomb of King Rama where a mysterious energy came into my hands and changed my practice and application of this ancient mysterious folk art. Indeed sound is part of a Nuad Boran. A deft practitioner will silently chant a mantra or healing prayer throughout the session transmitting healing to the receiver. Thai Yoga Massage, or Nuad Boran is a spiritual practice in prepare for their day by lighting candles at their altars, offering Jivaka Kumar Bhaccha,The Auryuvedic father of Thai Massage, is warm, and the windows are often and bowls of ylang ylang the Thai studios. Every day Jivaka Kumar is honored in this Yoga is often practiced before a day of work begins. Yoga and training for a Thai Massage Therapist in Thailand.

Thailand. Thai Massage Therapists flowers, rice, and incense to Dr. and medicine in Thailand. The air and lemon grass oil are burned in way, be it a class room, or a studio. meditation are part of the classical

One of the most interesting sessions I received was from a studio whose therapists were all blind. Truly these therapists learned to see with their spirits and get out of their heads. Western students are always wanting to know EXACTLY where the sen lines and marmas are. Their blind Thai counterparts intuit their way through the meridians missing none of them. The blind therapists are so adept that they are frequented by the King and Queen of Thailand. As western practitioners we can learn from the blind. We can learn the Braille of the nadi’s, learn to feel, and see with our fingertips, and get out of our heads, out of our own ways so that we are facilitators in another’s transformation. Lest you think that all of Thailand is tranquil, you must eat their spicy Thai food. The peppers grow on the trees and are picked fresh daily, and hot means hot in Thailand where curries abound. Interestingly enough, dessert was not a big deal and often consisted of sticky rice. In Peing Lang villages I was taught by the locals to steam sticky rice in bamboo shoots. Imagine walking into the garden and through nature to get your food for the day. In Thailand there are over 11 scrumptious varieties of bananas. What we can learn about Bodywork and healing from the Thai cannot be limited to this news brief. To sum it up, my experience was that the Thai people live close to nature, honor her, and see everything as a living Spirit and honor it as such. There are altars everywhere. The Thai people leave the mystical powers of nature and spirit in their work, yet it is medicine. The Bangkok temple of Wat Po is sacred to the Thai people because of the engraving of the healing lines in the stone. These lines are the secret pathways of acupuncture and meridian maps of healing. This knowledge was treasured and King Rama ordered it’s preservation so that it would not be burned in the frequent wars over territory. The Thai people see this bodywork as medicine. And in the practice of this medicine, they do not separate the spirit from the work. It is the union of the mind body connection that is honored, and the health of the spirit is addressed. May we learn from the beautiful people of Thailand. Swadee. Sudevi Linda Kramer is an inductee in the Massage World Festival Hall of Fame 2010.
