Esalen® Massage for Couples: Sharing the Love
Enjoy the serene beauty of Big Sur as you and your partner learn to give each other an effective massage. A tender touch can do wonders for any relationship by easing stress and deepening non-verbal communication skills. Emphasis will be on "listening" with both heart and hands, asking for what you need, and taking the time to truly nurture yourself and your partner. Sessions include basic quieting exercises, movement, brief demonstrations, hands-on guidance, and plenty of time for practice.
