June is Shiatsu Awareness Month. Every year Shiatsu communities across Europe and beyond join forces in spreading the word about this wonderful practice. This year, we are inviting you to Get in Touch with Shiatsu!

A form of therapeutic bodywork, Shiatsu combines ancient knowledge with modern techniques to enhance the body’s natural ability to balance itself.

We are offering a £100 bursary to 25 members who would like to hold a Grassroots Shiatsu workshop to introduce Shiatsu to members of their community.

There is a £300 cap per event, in case multiple applicants decide to collaborate on a single event.

Shiatsu is a form of therapeutic bodywork that works on different levels of human experience to facilitate a sense of holistic wellbeing and enhance the body’s natural ability to come back into harmony.
