Over the many years of my studies and practicing, I've always strived for two goals: the first is to understand what is health and healing; the second is to be as healthy as possible with out being a fanatic. This meant that I had to try different healing modalities to see what they actually accomplished and how they functioned. Additionally there were many approaches that were interesting to study to see if they worked as advertised or because I wanted to possibly practice them.
The list below is an A to Z of all the modalities, workshops, and seminars I've ever experienced, have studied or participated in. It does not include all the acupuncture related seminars, workshops and conferences that I have attended as part of my regular ongoing professional education.
There are many other holistic and alternative modalities I haven't experienced. Every few months, some new 'greatest thing' arrives on the scene. Many times, they are just another version of something from 20 years before, being 'reincarnated' once again with a new name! Occassionally there is something totally new, based on new science or ancient techniques just come to light, or from the depths of someone's soul.

Did I leave anything out? Probably more than a few things! Being a health professional has the advantage of being able to trade with others. I am sure that some trades have been forgotten either because they weren't helpful for me (though they may be for others) or because of time.
