INTRODUCTION TO SHIATSU DAY WORKSHOP
SUNDAY APRIL 21ST 10am to 5pm
Near Penzance, Cornwall
£80 including soup for lunch
One of the many things I love about Shiatsu is that we can train for three years to be qualified to work as a practitioner but in a day we can also learn effective and simple techniques to give to our friends and family. This workshop is mainly practical and you will leave with an understanding of the basic principles of Shiatsu and the ability to give an enjoyable back treatment.

A WEEKEND OF SHIATSU & THE FIRE ELEMENT
June 15th & 16th 2024 Near Penzance
Near Penzance, Cornwall
The Five Element theory, together with Yin and Yang, provides the basis of many Chinese systems and is one of the main pillars of East Asian medicine.
Over this weekend we will learn the theory of the meridians which relate to the Fire Element and learn how to treat them with Shiatsu. We will also explore self shiatsu through acupressure, relevant movement, meridian stretches and chi gong.
The Seasonal wisdom of this phase and how we can support and balance the Fire element within us on all four levels (physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual) is valuable wisdom and easily learnt and applied.

Thereafter £200 for both days and £100 for individual days.

Location:
LSC studios
Unit 1-2 Leeds Place
London
N4 3RF
Over 2 days with the Saturday more focused on Chi Kung with the principles of Yi Chuan and standing Zhan Zhuang. The Sunday will be more bodywork/Shiatsu oriented.
Both days will be focus on developing our awareness and presence in relation to the concepts of Jing and Shen from Classical Chinese Medicine.
The workshop will include:
- Theory, concept and philosophy of Jing and Shen from a Classical Chinese perspective and how these manifest in our daily lives.
- Practical exercises and approaches to develop and work with these concepts.
- Relating these concepts to our daily lives and practices.
- How our awareness and interaction both with ourselves and others are both created and enhanced by these concepts.
Shen is mainly translated as ‘spirit', in Chinese medicine and culture - this is seen as a very important aspect of human development and interaction with both ourselves and nature.
Jing is mainly translated as ‘essence’ the refined manifestation of ourselves as humans and our potential with our lives.
How Jing and Shen manifest and the concepts behind them, and importantly their interactions will be the core of this workshop.
“When you go to a concert, if the conductor is full of (and with their) Jing Shen, then everybody will be playing their instruments and the audience will be seized by
a common spirit and elation in their minds…you will feel the music with your body, mind and spirit…it is so well organised that it flows and flourishes.”
Claude Larre.
"The sage rests. Resting then results in balance and ease. Tranquil, ease, balance and seeming indifference means that worries and problems are unable to enter.
For these reasons the sage's (wise man) virtue and power is complete and the Shen is/are not lost."
Zhuan Ghi
