A full day workshop of Thai Massage at Altus in Santa Monica

1934 14th St, Santa Monica, CA 90404-4605, United States

August 10th 11.30-5.30pm

We celebrate summer and harvest time in in this workshop by engaging the fire and earth elements, in the dance of Thai massage.

We stoke fire by tending to the meridians of the heart ("the emperor") and small intestine (the seat of intuition). The warmth and sunshine of summer give us an opportunity to fully celebrate life in its most abundant expression, but we must tend to our inner fire to be able to embrace all that is offered. Earth energy is strongest at harvest time, late summer, and is all about nourishment (stomach and spleen meridians).

When our fire element is out of balance, summer can be a time of hyperactivity, anxiety, restlessness, a lack of joy, and even apathy. If earth is out of balance, we may experience too much or too little appetite, poor digestion, fatigue, and a tendency to worry.

Join us to slow down, find balance between action and being, giving and receiving. We refuel our internal heat and nurture our creative energies so that we may participate fully once again in the abundance that surrounds us.

In this workshop we will open the heart space, freeing up the problem areas of the shoulders and chest, working the neck and head and exit pathways through the hands, making space for joy. We also create groundedness by clearing stagnation from the legs and belly.

A full day of giving and receiving will leave you full of joy and light.
