Licensing and legislation opposition

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks:

 

A couple of people have asked why there was a need to start another list for

this issue... and briefly, this are our reasons...

 

First off, although this list is a good place for debate, it is not and

should not be an arena for promoting political agendas of any kind. I

prefer, as I'm sure the membership does, that this list remain an open and

objective forum where all opinions are freely expressed. In keeping with the

original flavor of this list, I asked Manny to move the focus discussion to

another arena; starting a separate list seemed the most logical conclusion.

I also wanted the new forum to be a support network for those who would like

to be organized in opposition to over-regulation and control of bodywork

(and also energy work), not a place where those people should have to

constantly defend their views as " anarchic " .

 

In addition, licensure and legislation, despite its importance and immediacy

as a US issue, is not a universal issue, and I'd like to have more bandwidth

dedicated to practice discussion and other stuff that doesn't get

everybody's ears red without really solving anything.

 

I hope this straightens out the reasons behind the origin of

Freedom_For_Bodywork. Thanks for your feedback.

 

Blessings,

Caroline

At Caroline's request, I changed it from " Touch " to " Bodywork " so that

we might include non-somatic bodyworkers such as HT, Reiki

practitioners, et. al.
