Intro course to massage
[1 and 2 of August]
Over the years we've had many inquiries about courses. And this summer, we're excited to share one in Helsinki. Hosted by our friends at the Helsinki Healing Arts Centre, we offer a two-day introduction to massage, a space to slow down, learn through your hands, and explore what it means to be genuinely present with another person.
What this course is about
In this two-day workshop, we'll learn to identify with the sense of touch, what it means to give, and through that, discover something about our own experience of receiving. We'll explore compassionate touch and offer a few elemental tools for facilitating and holding space for another person, guiding you through a simple routine of fluid, long strokes throughout the whole body. Everyone gives and receives several times across the two days.
This is not a course about becoming a massage therapist or gaining certifiable hours. It's an invitation to deepen a personal journey, one that happens through connection and touch.
Schedule
This is an intensive weekend program, immersive by design. We meet across two full days, each running from 9am to 6pm with an hour's break, totalling 16 hours of hands-on learning and practice.
Who this is for
This course welcomes anyone who feels drawn to the work, whether you've never given a massage before, or you're a practitioner looking to soften and deepen what you already do. No experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to show up with presence.
