Ethics For Healing Arts

From Buddhadhamma and Traditional Thai Medicine Teachings

Online distance learning class

This class draws from the teachings of The Buddha and traditional Thai medicine lore. You do not have to be Buddhist nor do you have to practice Thai massage/medicine to participate in and benefit from this class. It is designed to be of interest to healing arts practitioners of many modalities.

In this class students will gain understanding of who The Buddha was, his teachings as relates to ethics, particularly ethics in relation to healing, with a focus on the brahmavihārās, Buddhist teachings on good will, compassion, joy, and equanimity. We will also explore how ethics are taught in the oral tradition of ancient Thai medicine, and finish with a brief exploration of ethically navigating the practice of healing arts that come from different cultures.

CEs ~ This class counts for 4 continuing education hours.
Because it is an interactive online course these count as hands on hours and will meet the ethics requirements for massage therapists in Oregon. If you live outside of Oregon and need hands on ethics hours confirm with your governing board that interactive online classes are acceptable.

Students will have continued access to this class and class resources after certificates have been given.
