How Capacitar works
Healing Ourselves, Healing Our World
Capacitar uses a popular education approach
to healing which can complement medical
treatment or psychotherapy. In many places
where Capacitar works, people have few
resources and little access to medical or
therapeutic services. Capacitar trains leaders
who in turn train others, thus multiplying
the impact of the work.
Capacitar uses simple practices of healing,
team building and self-development to
awaken people to their own source of
strength and wisdom so they can reach out
to heal injustice and create a more
peaceful world.
Capacitar connects people from
community/grassroots organisations
through an international network of
solidarity, building relationships of
cultural and personal understanding.

This training will share research, methodology,
field experiences and body-mind-spirit practices
found to be effective in working with persons and
communities, as well as for self-care by therapists
health professionals, caregivers and group leaders.
The program of wellness practices, developed by
Patricia Cane and used by Capacitar trainers, was
designed to give people skills to heal and transform
stress and pain resulting from illness, violence, and
the stress of daily life. The energy practices have
been used effectively with a variety of people and
cultures including: seniors, women and families at
risk, indigenous, refugees, prisoners, survivors, the
disabled, religious, psychologists, social workers,
educators and medical professionals.
The workshops will share a popular education
approach to healing which places practices in the
hands of individuals and communities to empower
people in their own process. The grassroots
educational approach is designed to reach large
numbers of people who do not have access to
individual therapy.
