POLICY:
SHARING THE BBSH BODY OF WORK
FOR:
BBSH Students (Degree and Diploma Year 1–4 and AS 1–3) and Graduates
DATE:
June 15, 1999 (Revised 2/00; 4/03; 2/12)
The purpose of this policy statement is to provide guidelines to help BBSH students, Teachers and graduates speak about BBSH
and Brennan Healing Science in a manner that will be most beneficial to the School, the work, and to the development of the
individual practices of Brennan Healing Science Practitioners. It is the intention of the School and its principals to create a program
that can be accepted by our society as a bona fide certification of quality and competence in the professional practice of
Brennan Healing Science and thereby to legitimize hands-on healing in our time. Therefore, we have designed specific ways
to share the work to maintain the quality of the work in order to legitimize it.
I.
SHARING ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND THE HEALING WORK
A.
BBSH Students and Graduates Speaking About the School and the Work
BBSH students and graduates are free to speak about the School and speak about (not teach) the healing work they
have learned to any individuals or groups. In fact, this is a great help to BBSH. We really want to get BBSH known in
the world and need students and graduates to help BBSH will provide materials about the School to students and
graduates who may wish to share with people who ask for information. Although BBSH students do not yet have
healing practices, they should feel free to speak about the School and the work in general in interviews or presentations
to local and nationwide press or media. Relating one’s personal experience is an effective way to communicate about
the Brennan Healing Science skills and about the School itself.
1. If a student or graduate would like to share about the School or answer questions about the School, the books, or
the work, we ask that you follow these guidelines:
B.
•
Identify yourself as either a student or graduate of BBSH.
•
Inform your audience that you are in a position to share your personal experience of the School, the work, and
the healing process as you know it.
•
Please inform people that you are not an official representative of the School, have not been trained to teach the
work, and cannot act as an authority regarding questions they may have concerning the books or the School material.
If a student or graduate plans to speak about the School and Brennan Healing Science in their community (perhaps
in a presentation to a community group, through a newspaper interview or article, or on a local TV program),
you may contact the School office to discuss your plans. The School office will send you an information packet
with facts and handouts about the School, which you may use in your talk to the public.
Additional Speaking Opportunities for BBSH Graduates Who Are Brennan
Healing Science Practitioners
It is also the intention of the School to support and facilitate the development of private practices of the Brennan
Healing Science Practitioners who are the conduits of this healing work to the world at large. Therefore, it is desirable,
appropriate, and encouraged for graduates to inform the public about BBSH, Brennan Healing Science, and the
existence of Brennan Healing Science Practitioners in the following way:
1. In free, public introductory programs in which the graduate talks about Brennan Healing Science and BBSH in addition
to his/her personal practice. It is also appropriate in this program for the graduate to demonstrate (not teach) a healing
technique(s) for the purpose of promoting the School, the work, and/or in order to build his/her healing practice.
C.
What BBSH Qualifies Its Graduates to Do
It is the intention of the founder and managing body of BBSH that the healing techniques, exercises, and methods
developed by BBSH be made available for healing in the world by BBSH graduates in the following contexts:
1. Use with a client during a professional healing period, including showing verbally or through demonstrations selfcare skills necessary or important to the client’s healing.
2. Use for informal verbal sharing with friends or family members for the purposes of healing, communication, and
improving relationships. (In such informal sharing no financial exchange would be involved.)
3. If qualified through and certified by BBSH, within the context of offering HOL (Hands of Light) weekend workshops.
