Springtime Greetings,

to all  Presence-Based and Embodied Healing Artists, Bodyworkers, Breathworkers and Somatic Artists

We write to invite, to entice, and to beckon you to join us for our inaugural program in Hamburg, offering a modular training in Touching Essence™, a multi-cultural, multi-sensory, neo-shamanic approach to healing through Touch.  Using our map of the 8 chakras, our map of 12 meridians, 34 specifically selected essential oils, and  Nada (sound) yoga, mantra and song, we practice the laying on of hands in support of energetic, physical, emotional, spiritual and soul connection and healing. We focus, in the physical touch arena, in supporting release of old, welcoming new and opening to experiencing the pleasure of safe and skilled touch.

We celebrate Skin, our largest organ, through our foundational, signature move, ‘Continuous Flow’.  One sophisticated receiver of touch, Wen YouJun, of Taiwan, described her experience as that of a starfish with legs in all directions, as being both in and at one with the Pacific, as both feeling and being delicious as the touch artist glided his hands over the contours of arms, legs, feet, hands, spine, head, belly, heart….gliding onward from shoulders to heart, to hips, to knees, to feet….lingering long minutes offering pressure to all the places and spaces on all surfaces of ankles, feet and toes…after a long & lingering pause…off he glides again, reaching behind her, to her spine, lower back to twist and turn…creating space…expansion, breath deepening with long and luxurious sighs…..Repeat, Please don’t Stop; can we extend this session another two hours?  NO?  Tomorrow?  Tonight?  When can you see me again?

We believe you will LOVE adding Touching Essence to your repertoire, and will want to take the entire program.
