Namaste!
The Himalayan Healers Project, Nepal, is a Healing Arts School and collection of Non-Profit Spa Boutiques working to preserve the rich history of healing and energy work in the Himalayas, specifically for the benefit of sponsored students from the Untouchable castes of Nepal.
It is the only project in the world that trains "Untouchables" in the Healing Arts.
Living at the absolute bottom of the social hierarchy, and considered as existing outside of the actual caste structure, are the "Untouchables" - those with the lowest income levels and the most labor intensive and unhygienic jobs.
Members of the Untouchable castes are considered to be "impure" and "untouchable", are restricted from entering the majority of community temples, have separate water supplies, and are deemed taboo to touch or be touched by.
They are born into these roles, and have extremely limited opportunities to move ahead, living day-to-day,
hand-to-mouth simply to survive.
At the Himalayan Healers project we are training sponsored members of the Untouchable castes to
become "Himalayan Healers" in the arts of Ayurvedic, Nepali, Indigenous Newari, Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Relaxation, Rejuvenation, and Reflexology massage techniques, supplemented with Yoga, Meditation, Reiki, and appropriate academic coursework.
Our Main Objectives Include:
1. Personal Growth: Restoring the power and energy of our student's touch; Internal growth; Opening; Restoring
Dignity; Learning new social, interpersonal, life- and work-skills.
2. Social Statement: Everyone is equal; Building bridges; Working towards peace by bringing people of diverse
backgrounds together; Community healing.
3. Financial and Social Empowerment: Providing credible work opportunities both inside and outside of Nepal to
empower themselves, their families, and their community.
We are the first and best non-profit healing arts school in Nepal, and our focus is upon providing an avenue of positive,
meaningful, effective empowerment within the Nepali community.
