Watsu Instructors Conference 2020
Bringing Harold`s heritage forward
Dear Water Friends,
In this difficult times we are about to meet together and discuss about our beloved aquatic work - Watsu. We would like to reflect about precious Harold`s heritage - where we are now and where we want to go in the future as leaders in the field - Watsu Instructors. Current difficulties and problems in teaching, organizing classes, relations inside community and presenting Watsu image outside, supporting Practitioners formation, keeping integrity and ethical values are the most hot topics for discussion and challenges for the future.
The meeting will be a symbolic release of lockdown restrictions of Watsu practice. Keeping safety procedures, we can overcome the pandemic fear and start a new wave of aquatic bodywork practice - a Watsu wave, which can bring a new hope into many hearts…
Tomasz Zagorski

We do take safety very serious and the safety measures are important for us. We also are aware of increased infection risk due to international travel. Therefore we apply EU and Polish Government COVID-19 safety precautions. Because in Watsu we cannot apply a social distance, we do require wearing masks during the conference and we recommend also using swimming goggles or face shield in the pool. We require filling COVID-19 related health form which include travel details - this form will be destroyed after 30 days in order to respect GDPR rules. We will sanitize hands and used surfaces regularly. And we encourage to use rational approach - to keep you and your beloved safe.

Światowy Tydzień Watsu
Światowy Tydzień Watsu został zapoczątkowany w 2007 roku i odbywał się w dniach od 21 do 28 kwietnia. Każdego roku miało miejsce niezwykłe wydarzenie w życiu Wodnej Rodziny - każdy instruktor, terapeuta i student Watsu działa na rzecz propagowania wiedzy o korzyściach Watsu wśród społeczności lokalnej. Od 2009r każdy kraj dobiera sobie optymalną datę. W Polsce jest to 18 - 24 maja. Na całym świecie wykonywane są tysiące darmowych sesji, pokazy, prezentacje, wywiady w prasie i telewizji i inne. Podczas Konferencji Instruktorów Watsu w Scansano w październiku 2018 podjęto decyzję o ujednoliceniu daty na całym Świecie. Obecna data Światowego Tygodnia Watsu to 22 - 28 marca 2019r.
Ze względu na trudności związane z warunkami klimatycznymi w marcu podczas pierwszej edycji WWW w nowym terminie, Walne Zgromadzenie Stowarzyszenia podjęło decyzję o powrocie do majowej daty eventu, zgodnie z życzeniem Harolda, aby każdy kraj wybierał optymalną dla siebie datę.
