Weekend of October 8-10, 2010

An Esalen® Massage Retreat for Couples

In any relationship, the art of Esalen Massage can be a powerful tool in enhancing the skill of touch. In this weekend retreat, surrounded by Big Sur’s natural beauty and the healing waters at the Esalen Institute, Oliver and Johanna will teach couples how to use massage as a source of nurturing support. The long flowing strokes characteristic of this approach radiate a sense of loving intimacy so important within a loving relationship. With Oliver and Johanna’s guidance, couples will learn to give each other a full body massage that they can take home as a new tool for exploring how to nurture each other and their relationship. Some of the benefits of this healing art are pain relief, deep relaxation, and an enhanced capacity to experience pleasure.

This retreat is ideal for beginners as well as seasoned practitioners looking to share a loving, relaxed space with their partners. There will be plenty of supervised, hands-on learning, as well as time to enjoy the stunning beauty of the Esalen grounds, and the healing waters of Esalen’s hot springs.

Please note: Perry Holloman was originally scheduled to teach and is unable to do so. Oliver Bailey is replacing him.
