MINDFUL TOUCH WORKSHOP​
​
One-day beginner-friendly introductory workshop. For anyone curious about the transformative power of touch.
This workshop focuses on the dynamics of giving and receiving massage with attention to consent, connection, and authentic relating. Unlike our two-day Introduction to Holistic Massage workshop, this session is tailored for home use, using simple floor- and chair-based techniques that do not require a massage table.
Mindful Touch is ideal for individuals, couples, or friends who want to explore touch in a relaxed and playful environment. It complements the two-day course making it a perfect standalone experience or an enriching addition to your learning journey.
Throughout the day, you’ll engage in hands-on exercises and guided demonstrations, discovering how to tune into the subtleties of touch and communication. This workshop prioritizes comfort and adaptability, ensuring that participants of all backgrounds feel at ease. Whether you're new to massage or seeking to deepen existing skills, you'll leave with practical tools to foster connection and well-being at home.
By the end of this one-day experience, you'll have developed greater confidence in offering and receiving touch, with enhanced skills to nurture meaningful interactions and relationships.
Cost: £95 Full/£85 concession
