Day 1 - The Art of Essential Touch: An Introduction to Esalen® Massage
Monday, September 13, 2010
Esalen® Massage is a healing art form, evolved over forty-five years at the Esalen® baths.Influenced by the rhythms of the Pacific, this form of touch engages all the senses and offers deep release and relaxation to both giver and receiver. This workshop invites participants to explore the world of essential touch through the gentle guidance of teachers with many years of experience. We will offer the basic principles of our work: grounding and centering, moving from the core, quality of touch, and using breath to bridge the connection between giver and receiver. One of the key elements of this art form is tapping into the flowing, creative energy present in a living body and letting one's massage style emerge from that experience. We will include techniques, especially the Esalen® signature moves, along with deeper work.
This one day program is open to beginners and experienced body workers interested in learning new and creative approaches to massage.
