Workshop Details

Oliver Bailey and Silvia Guersenzvaig invite you to participate in a five-day journey to replenish your spirit with touch by learning how to give an Esalen Massage.
Esalen Massage is best described as the interface and integration of form, energy, structure, and soul. With its nurturing contact, long integrating strokes, and detailed attention to the whole body, an Esalen Massage provides a state of deep relaxation and healing.
The intention of this week is to offer tools and techniques that allow you to give a whole body massage from your core, from a place of ease within yourself, and in the flow of a loving presence.
With brief lecture and hands-on supervised practice, we will focus on common areas of tension while addressing posture, breath, and intention. To assist in connecting you with your inner resources, visualization and meditation will also be included. Come and enjoy the beautiful Big Sur coast, while learning how to effortlessly give an Esalen Massage. This workshop is open to beginners and those who wish to inspire their current massage practice.
