Experiential learning classes will enable students to develop a balance between technique, intuition, and creativity. Each day we will move through different areas of the body focusing on a variety of techniques to address muscle tension, body holding patterns, and injury. Our study of massage technique is augmented through applied anatomy, awareness practices, methods of self-care, and communication skills.

This training is designed to be deeply transformational and will give you tools for awakening your senses and bringing more awareness to your massage practice and your life. It is for certified massage & bodywork practitioners wanting to deepen their bodywork practice and add the Esalen approach to their work.

This course is structured into 3 three-day modules and 7 four-hour classes, spanning over a duration of 10 weeks. This format is ideal for those who live locally and would like to complete this course over a period of time without needing to take and extended period of time away from work.

Your pelvis is naturally a storehouse for unlimited creation potential (think egg and sperm!) Emotionally and energetically, the same is true of your pelvis.  However, often we use it as a dumping ground for emotions or experiences that can’t be processed in the moment, like grief, bracing for an impact, heaviness that comes from a lack of support, fear of moving forward, or dreams put on the back-burner. Before we can imagine our creative potential we must go through the process of clearing out this inner storehouse to start fresh.
