Shiatsu Self-Care Day-Long Immersion
Sunday, July 7th 10am-5pm
$120
Chicago Oneness Center
4003 N. Broadway, Chicago
REGISTRATION LINK TO COME
Immerse yourself in practice and learn new ways to nourish the Spirit, enliven the Body, and awaken the Mind through Zen Shiatsu, the Japanese bodywork therapy that works with the natural movement of Life. This day-long workshop is available for anyone with an interest in their whole health and spontaneous healing, for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. Through hands-on practice on ourselves, with a partner, and in groups we’ll explore each of the 5 Elements as they live, breathe and express within us and all of nature. We’ll access the spaces that seek cultivation, while relaxing and releasing the dynamics that cause stress or discomfort, finding greater ease and balance on all levels.
Throughout the workshop, we’ll be working on building our skills in using Shiatsu principles and touch as a self-care remedy and daily practice. You’ll learn profoundly simple and effective tools for treating yourself or another with Shiatsu. With guided meditations, playful group exercises, and Meridian-specific work, you will refine your awareness of the energetic, emotional, psychological, and physical qualities of the Elements. Bring a notebook, your favorite pillow or blanket if you’d like, and be prepared to move freely, relax deeply, and enjoy the Shiatsu glow.

Inquiry-Based Bodywork – A One-Day Workshop
March 19th
Monday 9am-4pm
Zen Shiatsu Chicago, Evanston
6 CE credits
Inquiry-Based Bodywork is an integrative approach to Shiatsu that moves from a foundation of inquiry to discover freedom and unconditional wellbeing beyond the limitations of the mind and body. In this approach, we dive into a space that is free in and of itself. By adding a guided inquiry process to our bodywork technique, we can bring consciousness to layers of beliefs and thought patterns that may be perpetuating tension in our mind and tissues. The body immediately responds and begins to reorganize into a more harmonious state, which provides the ideal space for spontaneous healing. Practitioners of any discipline are welcome.
