History
The Harbin School of Healing Arts was established in 1979 as the Niyama School of Healing Arts at Harbin
Hot Springs in Middletown, CA. In 1985, it was purchased by Harold Dull and renamed the School of Shiatsu
and Massage. In June 1994, ownership was transferred to the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association
(WABA). Note that although classes have always been held at Harbin Hot Springs facilities, at times the School
was a separate entity from Harbin.
From 1979 to 2001, the School has rented Harbin workshop spaces and pools for its classes. From 2001 to
2006, the School was the sole tenant of the Watsu Center facility at Harbin, and held its land and water
classes in its unique domes and pools. In 2007, the Watsu Center facility was returned to Harbin to be used
for hotel guests. It has been renamed the Harbin Domes. The School has returned to renting other workshop
spaces on Harbin property for its classes (which may include the pools at the Harbin Domes). In 2008, WABA
sold the School to the Bodywork Career Institute, LLC. In 2013, BCI sold the School of Shiatsu and Massage to
The Heart Consciousness Church, dba Harbin Hot Springs. Harbin Hot Springs renamed the school to The
Harbin School of Healing Arts.
BPPE School Code 1700041. www.bppe.ca.gov.
Watsu® is registered and owned by WABA.
Waterdance™ was developed by Arjana Brunschwiler and Aman Schroter.
Healing Dance™ was developed by Alexander Georgepopolous.

consensus of instructors and assistants) will be either warned or dismissed from the class (this being
decided by a consensus of instructor and school administrator) depending upon the nature of the in
discretion. In the case of a dismissal, tuition will be refunded according to the Refund policy stated in

known or inexplicable. You have the right of refusal, and may exercise this if needed. Please note that

About Harbin Hot Springs
Harbin Hot Springs is one of the most unique residential retreat
facilities in the country. In its own secluded mountain valley, the
1700-acre site is abundant with trees, meadows, clean air, streams
and wildlife. Once healing grounds for Native Americans and,
later, a famous turn-of-the-century resort, it is now home to a
community of over 150 people who maintain it as a retreat and
learning center.
Harbin is home of the Heart Consciousness Church which upholds
the philosophy that everyone is free to follow one’s own spiritual
path. It is the ideal setting for the caring, growth-centered touch that
our programs facilitate.
Some of Harbin’s attractions include numerous hiking trails, daily
yoga classes, a sauna and of course the famous mineral pools,
which are spring-fed and heated by natural geothermal activity.
There are two body temperature pools, one hot pool (113 degrees F),
one cold pool and one large unheated swimming pool. People
from all over the world come to enjoy Harbin’s mineral pools
where swimsuits and clothing are optional. “Clothing optional”
means that personal expression, acceptance and safety are valued
above all else and that you always have the right to choose
whether or not to be nude.
Guidelines for a Bodywork Intensive
Time
An intensive is intense! You will be in a communal, structured learning environment for 50 class hours in a
five-day period or 100 class hours in an eleven-day period. Typically, there is additional practice, study, personal care, and recreation that add substantially to those hours. We recommend that you come well rested
and to leave your personal and work related worries behind. Experienced students suggest that you pay the
extra fees and arrive at Harbin one day before your class begins, to prepare yourself for what is to come and
stay on one day after your class ends, to integrate what you have experienced and prepare to go back into the
world with your new knowledge.
Sleep
Getting adequate rest and good nutrition is extremely important during class time. No cot or bedding is provided so bring whatever you need to sleep comfortably- including earplugs if you are a light sleeper. For our
own peace and the peace of fellow students, we request quiet from 10:00pm until 7:00am. Likewise, we request that no alarm clocks ring or loud noises be made while others are still sleeping in the early morning. If
you are a night owl or an early riser, there are other locations to socialize, read, etc.
10
Attentiveness
Your quality of attention in class will make an enormous difference in how much you retain. Taking “power
nap” during an afternoon break can keep your mind fresh for the afternoon session. Another way to increase
retention is to simulate the movements of the instructor during the demonstration and visualize the sequence
before going to sleep. Having a class buddy to review the day’s material or utilizing the class assistants will
enhance your learning. Sometimes academic information can be overwhelming and it is appropriate to set
realistic goals. Many years are typically required to become proficient in any skill and massage is no different.
Remember, we all begin our journey from a different place, so try not to compare yourself to others. If you
find that a course is particularly challenging, consider auditing it as you may learn even more the second
time.
Water Classes
Aquatic bodywork classes can be especially draining on your physical body. Hydration, skin moisturizing and
ear care are especially important. Speak to your instructor and assistants immediately if you begin to experience any discomfort. You will also receive a class manual that will describe self-care procedures so that you
can concentrate on learning.
Meals
Students can prepare their own meals or eat at the
Harbin or Middletown facilities. For meal preparation,
students can use their class room building kitchen,
pots, pans, utensils and refrigerator to store and cook
their meals. Students are responsible for cleaning up
after all meals. You may bring your own food if you
want to prepare your own meals.
You can also buy food, organic produce, snacks,
condiments, etc. at:
- Harbin Market (open 9am to 8pm, seven days
a week)
- Stores in Middletown (10 minutes away,
hours vary)
Students can buy meals at these Harbin facilities:
- Harbin Restaurant: Breakfast 8am to 10am, Dinner 6pm to 8pm
- Harbin Market: Lunch available after 12:00 Noon; snacks and prepared food 9am to 8pm
- Harbin Blue Room Cafe: snacks and espresso drinks, 7am to 6pm
- La Sirena Poolside Cafe: sandwiches, salads, smoothies, May to Sept, Noon to 5pm (closed in winter)
Middletown has many restaurants available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A list of places and hours will be
given to you at your class orientation.
11
Training Program Certificates
Students are welcome to take one, two or a series of classes that interest them, without being required to set
up and commit to a formal program of study. If a desire develops to complete a Training Program Certificate,
completed classes can be used to satisfy required or elective class requirements. But a student can also set up
a plan to complete a Training Program Certificate program, using the Certificate Worksheet form.
To become a proficient bodyworker, it is reasonable to estimate 500 to 1000 hours of training and a year’s
worth of practice. Prior to registering for classes with the School, students are encouraged to check with
their local state, city or county ordinances for licensing requirements and the number of hours they require
in bodywork training in order to set up practice within these areas.
Students can tailor most of the Training Program Certificate classes to suit their interests as long as they
participate in all required classes and choose from a wide range of land and water electives. Please refer to the
elective requirements of each training program.

Requesting a Training Program Certificate
A student must give, mail or fax a Training Program Certificate Request form to the School when nearing the
completion of the required class hours. For Water Certificates, the student must also submit the required
Practicum and Demonstration of Mastery documentation.
The School may take up to two weeks to process a Training Program Certificate Request. This time is needed to
verify your school records and any required documentation. Therefore, please submit your request at least two
weeks before the last class that completes the class hours for your program certificate.
Practicum Documentation
Every Water Training Program Certificate requires Practicum hours to be documented using the following
forms.
Session Form (for Water Practice sessions):
• Prior to giving a water practice session, you must give the Session Form to your practice client to read
and sign.
• After the session, the practice client can add additional feedback to the form.
• You must collect one Session Form for each practice session that you give, even if you give multiple
practice sessions to one practice client.
• Note that a Practice Session Log is available for your convenience to keep track of your practice
sessions. Do not submit this log for your certificate; only submit the Session Forms.
Received Session Log:
• Each entry in this log must be completed and signed by a Certified Practitioner
• You will usually have to pay the Certified Practitioner for each received session.
• It is your responsibility to verify that the Practitioner is a Certified Practitioner prior to receiving a
session. Check the WABA Registry at www.waba.edu or contact the School if you are not sure. The
School will disallow any Received Session that was not received from a Certified Practitioner.
• Exception: each Healing Dance program certificate allows you to receive up to four sessions from a peer
student.
13
Submitting your Practicum Documentation:

• Make a copy of each the Session Form and the Received Session Log. The School is not responsible for
the loss of your documentation if you send your only copy.

documentation to the School. Faxed documents can be illegible and the quantity of paper can jam the
fax machine.
Demonstration of Mastery Documentation
Every Water Training Program Certificate requires at least one Demonstration of Mastery (DOM):
• It is your responsibility to verify with the School that the person you are giving a DOM is authorized to
receive the DOM. Contact the School for a list of authorized people. The School will disallow any DOM
given to an unauthorized person.
• Check your Training Program Certificate requirements for when you can schedule a DOM. For example,
you must pass Watsu 2 and document 20 practice sessions before giving the DOM for the Watsu
Therapist Certificate.
• Depending on the Certificate, a DOM may be given as part of a class audit or a paid supervision session.
Check with the Registrar.
• After giving a successful DOM, the authorized person must complete and sign the DOM form, and then
enter the DOM into your WABA Registry.
• Make a copy of the DOM form.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STATEMENT TO BE READ BY, AND AGREED TO, BEFORE RECEIVING A PRACTICE SESSION FROM
A STUDENT:
I understand that a session of any form of Aquatic Bodywork can be powerful and have profound effects, that when the
body arrives at the level of relaxation possible in warm water and its normal tension holding patterns are released, there
can, occasionally, be reactions that can cause momentary discomfort. I also understand that being held as close as is required while being floated, can bring up issues that people have about intimacy. I understand that receiving a session in
any kind of bodywork from a student always involves a slight risk. I willingly accept that risk and hold no one else responsible for anything that happens to me in my session. Ideally, the kind of heart space the session will help me into,
and its continuity, will help me let go whatever comes up into its flow. I understand there have been no medical claims
made for this session. I will give feedback the moment anything is uncomfortable. I will let the student know anytime my
head, neck, back, etc., do not feel adequately supported. I understand that when I am brought to the end of a session, I
am not required to immediately give feedback. I understand that constructive feedback can be very valuable for a student. If I choose not to talk about the session I just received, I will send a note giving feedback afterwards.
For more information about the forms being practiced, visit www.watsu.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have read and agreed to the above statement and am listing below any conditions that might be affected by a
session:
• Conditions that might be affected by being in warm water:
• Conditions that might be affected by stretching and movement:
• Psychological conditions or trauma that might be affected by being held:
• Susceptibility to Motion Sickness:
• Previous experiences of Aquatic Bodywork:
• Expectations or concerns:
