Today, May 8, was Roger Callahan’s birthday. He was born in 1925.
As I remember him with love and gratitude, I think of the hundreds of thousands over the years who have benefitted from his work.
Right now in Rwanda, thousands are being healed from the genocide as they are in their 100 day mourning period. I have received reports from Byumba and the IZERE Center about the many they are helping. TFT Kigali has just sent me pictures of the thousands they are helping in Kigali. Our foundation team in Paris helped many after their recent bombings, as did our Redlands team following the San Bernardino shootings.
Everywhere we look, we see the need for this powerful healing modality. Please take a minute and join me in sending love, light and gratitude to all, in his memory.

Since we launched our new Well-Being Retreats, many have been asking me, “What can I expect at a Well-Being retreat?” So, at the suggestion of one of the attendees, and with the help of our recent attendees, I will share a few highlights from this recent life-changing week.
Each day contains a bit of exercise, nature, peace, good food, training and treatment with TFT and the use of the latest technologies to assess our current state of health.
We began our day with a walk through the beautiful Virginia woods, with spring all around us, flowers, deer, and birds singing. When we arrived at the Meditation Environment we all set our personal intentions for healing and began our healing circle meditation with specific vibrational technology to facilitate our health and well-being. Immediately following our meditation, spent a brief time, using TFT to balance our individual and group emotions and energy. By then we all were ready for our healthy breakfast.
Following breakfast, our mornings were spent in group training and practice sessions. Following these educational sessions, everyone was off to their individual protocols. These included assessments such as a healing CoRe Inergetix session or the opportunity to have a brain map. Others received a Neurofield balancing treatment for their brain. Crystal Light Therapy and Shiatsu massages were high on everyone’s list as well. I think the most repeated and loved experience for all was the indescribable Awakened Heart sessions.

The food, whether one preferred Paleo, Vegan or in-between was wonderful—-and—-healthy.
After lunch, we again had a group session then individual TFT sessions and other protocols. Our afternoons ended with Yoga or just chilling out.
After our evening meal we had some presentations by experts in the technologies we were using or further individual work. We ended our evenings with a meditation and another walk through the woods.
The small group size and intimate setting allows us to focus on the needs of those attending and to customize their schedule during the week, based on their needs.
The other question I am often asked is, “What kinds of things can be helped at the retreat?”
Each retreat is customized to the needs of the individuals participating. For example, this last retreat, we worked on grief and loss, back pain, weight loss, life overwhelm, finding and living our passion, business success, spiritual growth, releasing fear and anxiety, and healing past trauma.
It was an amazing, fun and healing week at the Synchronicity Foundation Sanctuary. We shared tears, joy and new found friendships. Everyone left with a new perspective, more inner peace and some tools to continue their healing journey.
I believe we have found the perfect blend of technologies, environment and healing tools to support TFT in helping us to reach our optimal health and well-being.

It exceeded our greatest expectations. It was the perfect mix of training, treatment, exercise, meditation and amazing excursions.
We visited some of the most beautiful waterfalls and hot water pools you can imagine. And, we did all of this in the area surrounding the heart chakra of the earth.
Everyone experienced healing and life changing transformations. They all left with the tools to continue their healing journey. We are already planning next year’s event in this beautiful country.
The beauty, energy (a base of deep quartz crystal) and some of TFT’s newest tools created a spectacular experience for us all. I am now getting ready for our next Well-Being retreat in another magical place, the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. And, I brought back a special healing tool from Brazil. Watch for news on this new tool to be added to our Well-Being Retreat.

TFT practitioners and trainers, Jenny Edwards and Suzanne Connolly, are busy making plans to attend the induction of their TFT colleague and friend, Ayame Morikawa, MD, as World Human Facility-EU (WHF-EU) Vice President in Charge of Psychological Health in the Philippines, where Dr. Morikawa‘s work, using TFT in the Philippines, caught the attention of this human rights organization. The ceremony will take place in Tokyo, Japan this February, and will be attended by many members of Japan Thought Field Therapy (JTFT). Jenny Edwards will be accompanied by her husband, Bo Edwards, and Suzanne Connolly will be accompanied by her husband, Bruce Connolly.
This recognition of Dr. Morikawa‘s work coincides with Thought Field Therapy being recognized in the United States as an evidence-based practice by The National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP), which is a searchable online database of mental health and substance abuse interventions. The NREPP is a service of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency (SAMHA) in the federal Department of Health and Human Service.

Unhappiness Is On The Rise…
Most people really come to TFT and try tapping because they want to be happier or improve their quality of life. They believe that if they could reduce their stress, fears, anxiety, pain and many other negative emotions or conditions they could be happier, they could find their ideal mate, get a better job, or attract greater success into their lives.
A quick internet search on Depression shows that the number of cases is growing at an alarming rate. It also shows that areas with higher rates of depression have high rates of other negative health outcomes, such as obesity, heart disease, and stroke. Individuals suffering from depression are more likely to be unemployed or recently divorced than their non-depressed counterparts, and women experience greater risk of depression than men.
Despite these facts, many people suffer symptoms of depression without seeking care, and that undiagnosed depression costs the U.S. millions of dollars each year. Now a global health issue, depression awareness, diagnosis, and treatment are matters of crucial significance in building a healthier, happier world.
What are some of the causes of depression?
A Google search lists a number of factors that may increase the chance of depression, including the following: Read more
Tapping can help bring peace to our world.
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. The first Peace Day was observed in September 1982.
It is an annual day of non-violence and cease-fire. The United Nations invites all nations and people to honour a cessation of hostilities during the Day, and to otherwise commemorate the Day through education and public awareness on issues related to peace.
Please join us at Callahan Techniques, and the TFT Foundations in sharing our documentary, From Trauma to Peace. It is due to be released at the end of the month. Help us to create greater awareness that there are powerful tools available to all of us to begin healing the trauma and violence in the world.

Dr. Roger Callahan, May 8, 1925 – November 4, 2013
Born on May 8, 1925, Roger Jerry Callahan was 88 years old. Dr. Callahan was a pioneer, an intellectual, and, above all, a humanitarian. He was passionate, not just about helping people, but challenging our beliefs about accepted psychological principles and healing in general.
In his long life, he found immense personal satisfaction through healing countless people who suffered: emotionally and physically.
Roger is survived by his loving wife, Joanne; his children, Patti, Amy, Martha, and Scott; his grandchildren, Jennifer, Ryan, Katie, Haley, Tessa, Charlie, Will, and Jack; and his great granddaughter, Madi.
Roger retired in 2011 to spend time with his family, and Joanne Callahan continues the work of TFT.
Please join us in a celebration of Roger’s life, by clicking here.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to The TFT Foundation, to help complete the documentary on TFT and Roger’s work in Rwanda, as well to help The TFT Foundation to continue its work in helping treat trauma worldwide.
Donations may also be sent to The TFT Foundation, PO Box 1220, La Quinta, CA 92247
I have been blessed to have shared nearly 25 years with a wonderful man. One who has left the world with a powerful tool for the healing of our mind, body and spirit.
One of Roger’s favorite quotes was by Sir Francis Bacon, “God’s job is to hide things and man’s job is to find them.” He spent his life trying to find “them”. With a single-minded focus, he began searching for better ways to help his patients. He then turned that focus toward finding better ways to facilitate self-healing around the world, and for all.
Roger lived with passion and a zest for living life to the fullest. He had a deep conviction and understanding of the importance of what he was receiving and developing. He persevered against all odds to bring us this gift of healing. He was a true pioneer in a field whose time has now come.
His gift has profoundly changed the lives and transformed entire regions of traumatized countries – taking them from Trauma to Peace. This will continue to expand across our chaotic planet.
His work is no longer just about tapping away fear or anger, but about lifting ourselves out of separation and conflict, to a place of love and peace. I have witnessed this evolution and am honored to be able to help share his gift with a world that so desperately needs it.
Please join me as we continue his legacy of sharing TFT with the world – with all.
