Exciting News! We have a new Level 1!
Although we love Quantum-Touch as it has been taught in recent years, many of our instructors and students have asked for more:
- expanded practice sessions
- clear descriptions on topics such as “Quantum” or “new paradigm”
- exercises and explanations that respond to the current needs of our community
- support materials for students
- training for all Level 1 instructors
We have taken the suggestions to heart and have come up with a new Level 1 and a new series of support tools for our students and instructors. It has taken almost a year to complete, but the materials are now ready. We are eager to share the new Level 1 with our Quantum-Touch community!
Level 1 Workshop Updates
The Level 1 Workshop updates take us back to our Quantum-Touch roots in a simpler yet more powerful way. Additional material from Richard’s original classes, talks and demonstrations have been infused into the class. There are also powerful new exercises and guided meditations. The class itself is one hour longer (30 minutes each day) which allows students more time to practice their skills and deepen their healing. We have also structured topics differently to make learning them both easier and more fun.
Level 1 Manuals!
We now have official Level 1 Student and Instructor Manuals.
The Student Manual is 40 pages, printed in full color, and is a great tool for learning both during the class and after. Each student in the new Level 1 class will receive one. The manual provides a clear outline of techniques and important principles, with familiar illustrations from Richard Gordon’s book Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal. New images have also been included (depicting bones or hand placement, for ex.) Plus, there are guidelines for easy reference when practicing or receiving Quantum-Touch.
The Instructor Manual has 130 pages of guidelines, descriptions and illustrations in full color, and a FAQ section at the end that responds to students’ most common concerns. The Instructor Manual brings together material from Richard’s Level 1 book Quantum-Touch: The Power to Heal , his lectures, and notes from classroom presentations. This is the comprehensive text that instructors will now use when teaching Level 1.
In order for our Level 1 instructors to be comfortable with the new materials and ready to teach the revised Level 1 class, we will be training all instructors worldwide. Once instructors have completed this training, they will be able to teach the new Level 1 class.
Why Training ?
In the beginning, because we wanted Quantum-Touch to be accessible to everyone, Quantum-Touch, Inc. allowed Level 1 instructors to be certified with minimum training. Since Quantum-Touch was based in simplicity, we thought it would be easy for instructors to teach. That was 20 years ago, and since that time, Quantum-Touch has expanded into a global community. It is now taught in over 25 countries and 15+ languages.
As Quantum-Touch grew, we began asking for and receiving feedback from our students. Many classes were taught well, but increasingly we began to hear about discrepancies in coursework. Classes would be very different from teacher to teacher, location to location. In addition, instructors began asking for more support. We discovered that while Quantum-Touch may be simple to practice, it is not always easy to teach!
To make sure future Quantum-Touch instructors were confident and competent when teaching Level 1, in 2013 Quantum-Touch Inc. created a mentor program for instructor candidates. It was developed by three of our most experienced Level 1 instructors (Miriam Hunter, Marlene Campbell and Henri Rand Furgiuele) and has been very successful.
But what about all the existing Level 1 instructors worldwide? Many have been teaching Quantum-Touch for years. Organizationally, we wanted to offer support to these amazing individuals who are such a valued part of our community.
- First: We began group conference calls via Skype held every other week. Any certified instructor of Quantum-Touch can join. These calls bring together instructors from all over the world and provide a forum for policy discussion, sharing ideas or inspirational stories about Quantum-Touch. Jennifer Taylor and Anna Shevtsova are usually on the call, as well as other long-time instructors.
- Second: We created comprehensive written materials. All instructors and students of Level 1 will now have the same materials, worldwide: the official Student and Instructor Manuals outlining course content in the practice and teaching of Quantum-Touch.
- Third: We are holding training sessions for all Level 1 instructors worldwide. To prepare our current Level 1 instructors to teach the revised Level 1 workshop format, and to make sure they are comfortable with the new materials, we are holding training sessions around the globe. These training sessions provide hands-on experience with new exercises and concepts, and allow our instructors to meet with other instructors worldwide.
- Fourth: Continuing education for all our instructors. The training sessions also provide an opportunity for instructors to discuss ANY workshop topic. Familiar curriculum topics can often become revitalized when described in new or different ways. This also helps us eliminate gaps in course content. Students can now have a consistently wonderful experience in Level 1, no matter where they take the class.
We held trainings in March 2016 and will continue training worldwide through the end of 2016. Our plan is to have all Level 1 Instructors ready to teach the updated Level 1 by January 2017.

FOR ALL CERTIFIED LEVEL 1 INSTRUCTORS
Please continue reading to learn more:
We are eager to have you begin teaching the revised format for Level 1 and using the new materials but before that can occur, you need to attend a 6-hour renewal training. This mandatory training will cover all the new materials and information that Richard is asking us to implement for the Level 1 Program.
Official Level 1 Instructor and Student Manuals
As mentioned above, the official Instructor Manual is the comprehensive text that instructors will now use when teaching Level 1.
The new official 130-page color Instructor Manual makes it easier for you to teach and promote your Level 1 classes. The Instructor Manual will have an overview of material and exercises to be covered each day. There are guidelines and directions for presenting key topics. New illustrations make it easy to identify hand placement and anatomy, and there is a section that provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions in Level 1.
The new Student Manual will be the only handout students receive in a Level 1 Quantum-Touch class. There will be one official translation of the manual per language. This means that all students - wherever they take Level 1 Quantum-Touch - will have the same class content, the same illustrations, and the same printed materials. This adds consistency to the program, and increases the professionalism of Quantum-Touch.
MAINTAINING YOUR INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION STATUS FOR LEVEL 1
In order to maintain your instructor certification for Level 1, you must attend the 6-hour training session offered by Quantum-Touch, Inc. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR ALL INSTRUCTORS OF LEVEL 1. Training must be completed by the end of 2016 if you are to continue teaching Level 1 Quantum-Touch.
Level 1 Training
Level 1 instructors are required to attend a six-hour training with the authors of the new Level 1 Instructor and Student Manuals: Henri Rand Furgiuele and Miriam Hunter.
Benefits of the Level 1 Training
- A one-day event: fly in and out with no hotel....It will usually be held during the week so that teachers can fly in and out on the same day (eliminating the need for hotels) and NOT on weekends when you might normally schedule a workshop.
- Level 1 trainings begin in June. Quantum-Touch will schedule trainings in various cities around the world.
- Level 1 Trainings include MENTORING. You will not only learn about the changes in format, you can also ask Henri or Miriam to teach various topics, and have other questions answered as well.
- Level 1 Trainings give you support from the community. You can meet and connect with other QT instructors, helping build a community of colleagues. This invites collaboration and expansion. It is HUGELY inspirational and motivating.
- The cost for the Level 1 training is 200 US$, payable to Quantum-Touch. Travel to and from the training is additional. These expenses are tax deductible for most instructors.
- All trainings are conducted in English Some locations (in Europe and/or Asia, for example, will have professional interpretation available (French, Dutch, Chinese)
Based on our recent sessions in Hong Kong and Tokyo, the Level 1 trainings offer depth and support. We not only have the advantage of meeting other instructors in person (which in itself is amazing), techniques are demonstrated live with touch when we are all in one room. We can experience exercises in full.
Above all, these trainings can shift resonance and add new vitality in your workshops. Instructors who attended the training sessions in Asia this spring found their enthusiasm soar! Everyone present felt their love and excitement build. We could all feel it in the room. Instructors made friends, shared stories and left eager to share Quantum-Touch with their students in this new way.
