The Havening Techniques® is a set of tools that utilizes specific applied touch combined with some mindfulness based exploration. This can lead to a gentler and easier shift to a better balanced state, in our body and mind.
When individuals apply on themselves, it can be called Self-Havening® – to create one’s own safe Haven.
In our “ABC of Self Regulation Tapping” workshops that have been delivered all over the campus since 2020, actions similar to Arm and Hand Havening moves have been incorporated, so the Havining Touch may already feel familiar to you. Thanks to the funding approval in spring 2024 by the SGA Mental Health Coalition, with Havening founders, Drs. Ron and Steve Ruden as well as Havening.org‘s support, we are excited to be able to offer workshops introducing the IP protected Havening Techniques on campus freely, and at no charge.
Just a Few Student Reviews
“I felt my body relax and let out a huge sigh of relief almost immediately after we began Havening. We all could benefit from incorporating stress management practices, and this one is relatively “quick and easy” so I see a lot of value in it for students. I would absolutely recommend.”
– GT CoB Senior, STAMP scholar, May 2022
Option 1: Sensory Based Stress Management Workshops (includes Self-Havening)
15-60 min experiential workshops are available to lead participants with some simple stress coping skills to support self-regulation, so individuals can feel calmer and manage stress better in the moment. We are in our third year to offer monthly workshops in collaboration with USG Well-Being. If interested in hosting a workshop specifically for your class or unit, please send the request to tapping@ece.gatech.edu.
Option 2: Havening Techniques Foundational Training (16 + hrs)
If you’re ready for an immersive, hands-on journey into the full range of Havening Techniques®, you are warmly invited to join the Havening Techniques Foundational Training — designed for experiential learning and personal growth.
What It Includes:
- 16 hours of live, interactive training
- Learn multiple forms of Havening (not just one)
- Practice in a supportive community setting
- Tools to strengthen your own well-being and presence
- A foundation for those who may wish to deepen later (note: this training in itself is not a practitioner certification)
Please Note:
This training is offered for personal development, self-regulation, and to build a strong foundation of experiential understanding. This Foundational Training is not a certification course and does not qualify participants to offer Havening Techniques® professionally. It is a required prerequisite for those who may wish to pursue official certification later on. But attending this training alone does not grant certification status or authorize you to practice Havening with clients in a professional setting.
Interested? Reach out to inquire or register. Space is limited.
