What will you learn at an introductory workshop?  

1. How to move the energy of your own body
Shiatsu is a non-manipulative discipline. We believe that there is nothing you can "do" to "fix" the energy of another person. Rather, each person has everything they need for their own healing.

So, in our intro workshop, we start by getting a sense of our own internal spark of healing energy. We will do guided internal exercises that will help you find and release tension and imbalance in your own body.

2. How to work in a way that's beneficial for you as well as for the client
The practitioner of shiatsu must use themselves well in order to give good shiatsu. You don't need a perfectly flexible body or a perfectly relaxed mind, but you need to move a step in that direction as you give a treatment. While you give shiatsu you relax your own body a bit more; you relax your mind a bit more. The client will feel relaxation through your hands and will respond in kind. If you come to the work ready to "work", the benefits won't be the same; your client will feel effort. We will explore how Shiatsu can be actually relaxing and energizing for the giver.

Both classes taught by Steve Rogne.

Thirty years ago, the wine business could definitely be accused of being a male-dominated profession. Thankfully, the last two decades saw a great many women joining their ranks, some of our favorite winemakers among them. In this one we’ll taste the stellar offerings from female winemakers, and Meaghan will tell the stories behind their bad-assery.
