February 16 - 20

Massage and Movement Therapy

Ah, to be embodied! When we create more space to live inside our own skin, we are more capable of powerful exchange with others as well as with the world around us. By tuning into our body’s wisdom we can connect to another through massage with deeper presence.

We will be breaking down the body into: the back; hips, legs and feet; abdomen, chest, arms and hands; neck, head and face. Using movement, sound, and massage, we will be learning to listen to the stories held in our bodies. On the last day of the course we will integrate the experience by giving and receiving full body massages using tables and oil.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to give a full body classical style massage and will have experienced new movement practices inspired by Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythm’s, Authentic Movement, and Vinn Marti’s Soul Motion.
