Nature and Nurture: A Weekend Esalen® Massage Retreat

Replenish your body and being with the healing power of nature and the revitalizing exchange of Esalen Massage, cradled in the amazing beauty of the Big Sur coast. Through brief lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, we will explore the long balancing strokes and deep but gentle focus that are the foundations of Esalen massage. The instructors will help you refine your quality of touch and encourage self-care and effortless practice. Body and breath awareness will be experienced through movement and meditation. This workshop focuses on developing easy access to a state of healing consciousness from which to make and sustain contact. You may ultimately find that giving a massage can be as rewarding as receiving one. Developing the grounding and presence necessary to give a good massage can have a profound and healing effect and naturally enhance your ability to nurture yourself and others.

Come prepared to share in the healing experience of Esalen Massage, nurtured by the gardens, the hot springs, and the enduring power of touch. All levels of experience are welcome.
