The Art of Giving and Receiving
Sunday, February 16, 2-4PM at Living Water Community Center
Want to find ways to create deeper connection in partnership AND learn how to offer loving relief to the ones you love? Would you like to develop more sensitivity in your touch, and trust in your partner's ability to offer this touch?
Learn the Art of Giving and Receiving during this special Valentine’s Day offering!
Thai Massage is a living tradition in which the practitioner uses thumbs, hands, elbows, knees and feet. These tools are used to compress muscles, aid in offering gentle traction, stimulate acupressure points, and to move and stretch the body. This releases tension, creates space and allows room for healing in the body. The recipient lies comfortably offering no aid, allowing the practitioner to offer the energy and bodywork to areas of need. At the beginning and end of each session is an offering of Metta - Loving Kindness - and an encouraging of all things positive to be present in the healing environment.
In order to help facilitate and initiate the healing process, the practitioner must be aware of his or her own body, breath, movement and energy. Movements are subtle, yet for the practitioner can be physically demanding. Along with learning how to offer comfort to those we love, this workshop aims to help the “giver” learn to move with grace and alignment, literally being in asana practice, while administering the Thai Yoga. With proper technique, compassion, and intuition, a healing session becomes therapeutic for both giver and receiver. Join J and Rebekah for an experience worth sharing!
Practitioners will learn:
- a basic sequence for addressing the needs of loved ones
- movements necessary to offer the bodywork gracefully
- techniques for self-care and self-massage
Receivers will learn to trust, lean in, and let go. We will find balance through verbal and non-verbal communication and taking turns Giving and Receiving.
Registration is per couple. Space is limited.
