The art of touch & Thai Massage Weekend

Over dit evenement

Want to spend a weekend that feels like a week long vacation in a beautiful urban sanctuary, surrounded by a community of joyful people and dive into the nourishing waters of loving touch?

In this workshop we will take a walk into the universe of loving touch. Indulging in hedonistic a weekend of playfulness, laughter, connection while learning how to effortlessly massage through the sacred dance of Thai massage. 🪷

Thai massage is incredible because we use our body weight to effortlessly sink into another body rather than exhausting or straining ourselves. A practice where by connecting to unconditional love we nourish another body from our hearts, through presence, prayer and this beautiful cosmic dance.

We will spend the weekend nourishing each other through this ancient healing practice. We will be practicing in pairs, so expect to give and receive throughout - one of the best parts of massage workshops(:
You will spend about half the time giving, and half receiving, so you will receive multiple hours of massage🌟

You may invite a partner to practice with, but it is not necessary. No prior experience is required, this immersion is open to lovers of touch, those who wish to deepen their ability to touch mindfully, doulas and other caregivers, manual therapists, and anyone curious!

This isn’t a massage course only for those who are or strive to become masseuses.. it has been created through the vision that someday we will all know how to support each other through bodywork and can massage and be massaged by our community, our family, our lovers..

Come join the movement towards a world filled with more loving touch 💗
