PRE-REQUISITES
CARE Vitaflex is required before taking Raindrop.
(Note: Vitaflex is included when you enroll for the entire 25-hr intensive.)

REFUNDS
Refunds are given at the discretion and on the terms of the CARE Instructor teaching the intensive. Please contact them directly for refund policies.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:
CCI Handbook (full registrations only), Class Notes, Necessary Oils, Handouts, and a Certificate acknowledging your participation in the courses taken are all included in seminar fees. (Note: no certificate issued to those taking History of Anointing ala carte, only full intensive registrations.)

WHAT TO BRING:
Bring two (2) sheets, two (2) bath towels, and one (1) hand towel. If you would be willing to bring a massage table, please mention this when you register. You are encouraged also to bring your Bible for the History of Anointing class.

TEXTS: 
While there are no texts required to take the CARE classes, if you own a copy of THE CHEMISTRY OF ESSENTIAL OILS MADE SIMPLE (Stewart), please bring it inasmuch as it will be referred to often in the Chemistry classes. If you do not have this book, please check with your CARE Instructor to see if they will have copies of the Chemistry book available for loan or purchase at the event. Other texts to be used include FEELINGS BURIED ALIVE NEVER DIE (Truman), HEAL YOUR BODY (Hay), and RELEASING EMOTIONAL PATTERNS WITH ESSENTIAL OILS (Mein). Check with your CARE Instructor as these may be available for loan or purchase at the seminar.

SEMINAR BOOKSTORE:
Texts and videos required for CCIs, including those mentioned above, may be available for sale at the seminar. Check with your CARE Instructor for more details. You may also purchase these and other books/materials from www.raindroptraining.com.

PREPARATION:
It is a good idea (though not required) to purchase the CARE DVDs/Videos on Raindrop and Vitaflex to review ahead of class in preparation for the hands-on training.

Fingernails must be very short and filed smooth on the edges and corners. With long nails you will not be able to do all of the Vitaflex and Raindrop techniques. If you cannot perform all of the techniques taught in class because of long nails, you may not receive credit for the class. It is also important that you remove any nail polish or synthetic fingernails. Essential oils can react to various types of polishes and synthetics and can possibly transfer to the receiver of the techniques you will be practicing in class.

Please check with your CARE Instructor if they have any further instructions for class preparation.
