Touching Essence™ 200-Hour Training
August 11 - August 16
Springtime Greetings,
to all Presence-Based and Embodied Healing Artists, Bodyworkers, Breathworkers and Somatic Artists
We write to invite, to entice, and to beckon you to join us for our inaugural program in Hamburg, offering a modular training in Touching Essence™, a multi-cultural, multi-sensory, neo-shamanic approach to healing through Touch. Using our map of the 8 chakras, our map of 12 meridians, 34 specifically selected essential oils, and Nada (sound) yoga, mantra and song, we practice the laying on of hands in support of energetic, physical, emotional, spiritual and soul connection and healing. We focus, in the physical touch arena, in supporting release of old, welcoming new and opening to experiencing the pleasure of safe and skilled touch.

Two complementary practices, one anchored in embodied structured rhythms, and the other in the spontaneity of movement improvisation, share a common foundation in the profound art of presence. Combined, they serve as a potent catalyst, inviting participants to delve deep into the intricacies of their learning process, unravel the impediments to personal and creative evolution, and open a pathway to heightened states of inspiration and creativity.

You, Me and Us
November 22 - November 24
Resilience and resources for each other in times of trouble
Relating to others — whether friends, lovers, enemies or colleagues — we get to find out how far we’ve come. It’s all very well to be enlightened sitting alone on a mountain top meditating, but . . .
Relationships drag us into the heart: not the fantasy-nice emoticon-heart, but the ragged realities we actually have going on, where we’ll often be found avoiding intimacy, denying the truth, and blaming someone else for our experience.

Monday Love to your Endless Efforts
“ If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,’ the Walrus said, That they could get it clear?’I doubt it,’ said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear.”
~ Lewis Carroll
Remember Sisyphus? Apparently, this famous figure from Greek mythology was something of a bad dude. He had the horrible habit of killing his visitors just to show off his power. The gods thought this was bad manners at the very least, going against their sacred traditions of hospitality. So they punished him with the gift of a heavy boulder that he was to push to the top of a mountain, only to have it roll to the bottom, over and over, for all eternity.

Monday Love to your Vital Visions
“ The only thing worse than being blind is having sight and no vision.”
~ Helen Keller
If you can see, you have vision. If you can daydream, you can have a vision. So wouldn’t it be cool if you could build those muscles like any other part of your body and limber them up to be more powerful and effective?
Let’s start with sight. One of the great gifts of living. If you’re reading this, chances are you have two working eyeballs. Behind them is a sophisticated array of muscles, nerves, and sensors that keeps them all working so well you don’t have to give it much thought.

When we are in our own skin, self-confidence is felt and palpable. We stand tall, ask for what we need and want, give generously, and shine our light without guilt and without manipulating others. Competitiveness goes out the door, as from a place of fullness, we seek collaboration, and celebrate other’s triumphs and accomplishments.

Monday Love to your Flex and Flow
“ The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.”
~ Albert Einstein
OK, it’s riddle time again. Name something that you need but you can’t buy. Everything and everyone has some degree of it. When you’ve got plenty of it, you rarely think about it, but when it’s missing, you know you need it.
It exists both in the physical and metaphysical realms. It’s more of a property than a thing of itself. You could even say that it’s a value, or an idea, or a concept. I could be talking about a lot of things, but the thought for the day is: Flexibility.

Monday Love to your Lens on Life
“ Youth has no age.”
~ Pablo Picasso
Remember cassettes? Those little compact plastic boxes that held a spool of analog magnetic tape? If you wanted to skip from one song to another you had to use the fast-forward or rewind buttons on your tape player.
Well, cassettes (and videotapes for that matter) are for the most part history, but the vernacular lives on — the terms fast-forward and rewind are here to stay.
Wouldn’t it be cool if life came with some sort of a button like that? Not to actually speed it up or slow it down per se, but rather to zoom in and out of the big picture so to speak.
