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 interested in a deeper dive and an ongoing experiential learning using the various Havening techniques, consider signing up for, or participating in some of the foundational training classes. All together, just for the class typically costs approximately $1000 with other trainers. If signed up by the end of 2027, GT community members are eligible to participate in the live foundational training at no cost. This is being offered to support the employees’ and community leaders’ well-being and growth, as we continue to support our students well-being. This is so we can be benefiting ourselves as we demonstrate these self-help tools. The training in itself is NOT meant to qualify participants to start offering professional Havening sessions. Please inquire for more details.
