Finding ways to connect without language can be a magical experience. Esalen® Massage, a presence-based practice, centers around the concepts of connection, quality of touch, presence, and deep listening. In this workshop, we will explore the basic skills in giving massages, using these guiding principles and techniques developed over decades informed by many teachings.

We will explore practices that invite presence, grounding, and centering, quieting the mind and sensitive touch. In addition to long flowing strokes, we will learn to identify specific areas where tension may live in the body, and how to help each other relax as the body heals through loving support and compassionate touch.

There will be discussions, demonstrations, and time to exchange massage with hands on guidance from Peggy and Jenny.

COUPLES, FRIENDS, FAMILY, EXPERIENCE OR NO EXPERIENCE, ALL ARE WELCOME.
