In this 3-4 hour massage course, participants learn to listen to each other, gain the sensory skill of initiating touch, experience the felt sense of touch and muscle release, and leave with some balanced tenderness. You will be guided thru exercises, demonstrations, and at-the-table guidance during the supervised practice. The simple principles of Esalen massage – presence, connection, attending rather than fixing, self-care, receptivity, and slow-paced strokes encompassing the body, build a heartfelt experience with a partner or a friend, and perhaps most significantly, ourselves.
Over the course of this individualized workshop, you'll learn the secrets of giving a great massage to your partner. Giving and receiving massage can be one of the most enjoyable experiences you can share.
We'll cover:
~ Preparing for the massage (setting up the massage table, preparing the external space, choosing massage oils or lotions, essential oils, eye pillows;)
~ Preparing the internal space (personal hygiene, quieting mind)~ Develop a sensitive touch (learning to touch with sensitivity)
~ Listening to each other (exchange information about how each of you
likes to be touched)
~ Basic massage strokes and techniques - at the end of each workshop you will each have given a complete massage.
Private workshops can be scheduled at your convenience at my studio in Santa Barbara or in the comfort of your own home
Sound healing includes crystal singing bowls, chimes, ocean drum, Tibetan bowls, breathwork, guided meditation, or intuitive guidance. These tonal vibrations are placed on and around the body reaching into you at a cellular level. The body absorbs the harmonic frequencies and is nourished by them. Sound is not only heard through the ears but it is felt with every sense of our being on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. These sound vibrations have a profound effect on the cells, organs, tissues, as well as the circulatory, metabolic and endocrine systems. A sound bath is a delicious way to nurture and nourish yourself.
