Workshop Details

Give your significant other or good friend a wonderful holiday gift of touch. Enjoy the serene beauty of Big Sur as you and your partner learn to give one another an effective Esalen® Massage. A tender touch can do wonders for any relationship by easing stress, releasing tension, and deepening nonverbal communication skills. Emphasis will be on listening with both your heart and hands, asking for what you need, and taking the time to truly nurture yourself and your partner. Sessions will include basic quieting exercises, movement, brief demonstrations, hands-on guidance, and plenty of time for practice.
This weekend of mutual giving and receiving is for those of you who wish to learn the essential elements of Esalen Massage and share a lovely experience with your partner; no prior massage experience is necessary. Come for a pleasurable time of relaxation, renewal, inspiration, and reconnection with your partner; soak in the healing waters of the natural hot springs, and enjoy the magical beauty of the Esalen grounds. It’s a magnificent way to celebrate the holiday season.
All levels of massage experience are welcome.
Please bring an open heart, your favorite CDs for massage and/or dancing, and a good sense of humor.
