Canadians are becoming more interested in mind/body practices often described under umbrella terms such as holistic, alternative, complementary or integrative health practices. These practices encompass but are not limited to self practices such as yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, chi gung and practitioner-led practices such as massage therapy, naturopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, Ayurveda and so forth. This session will examine social, cultural, political and other factors related to holistic practices within and outside Canada. Papers on registered massage therapy are particularly encouraged.
