Current Events and Workshops

Loving presence, compassionate touch and un-conditional loving-kindness. These are the graces of a healthy and strong relationship. The art of Thai massage invites us to open ourselves to these and many more gifts, as we learn to offer each other non-sexual, healing touch, to relax and unknot the body, to release blocked energy and to flow and move together. In this 3-hour workshop you will learn essential movements and techniques of Thai massage to practice together, and we will practice some exercises to increase trust and intimacy in your relationship. No previous experience in Thai massage is necessary. Please bring enough yoga mats, blankets or other cushioning to create a floor-level work area for yourselves, and comfortable clothes that you can easily move and stretch in.
