Summer Shiatsu Retreat
Shiatsu is the art of Japanese Massage, which integrates Chinese medicine theory and Japanese practice with Western physiology and anatomy. The word ‘Shiatsu’ comes from the Japanese words ‘shi’, which means finger and ‘atsu’, which means pressure. This pressure is created by the practitioners body weight through fingers, thumbs, elbows, forearms, feet and knees in contact with the recipients body.
Regular Shiatsu treatments can improve self awareness, energy levels, reduce pain, and maintain a physically and emotionally balanced state.
In this Summer Shiatsu Retreat we will work with the summer element of fire: the four fire meridians, and we’ll find balance through the bladder meridian (water controls fire when needed…)
Empower yourself to attain self-awareness, consciousness, and well-being, and positively impact others!

What you will learn
In this Summer Shiatsu Retreat we will work with the summer element of fire: the four fire meridians, and we’ll find balance through the bladder meridian (water controls fire when needed…)
Fire is the most yang of the Elements, the most ethereal, lightest, fastest and brightest of all.
In line with the aspects of speed, this is the fastest-paced introduction workshop of the Seasonal Retreat Series, fitting in the most information when it comes to meridians, and pushing the summer qualities of speed, brightness, joy and touch.
As with each intro retreat, we use the bladder meridian for demonstating, learning and applying shiatsu techniques, allowing a good basis for your own practice.
Topics of this workshop cover:
- meeting and understanding the Summer (FIRE) energies within our bodies and surroundings
- learning basic TCM principles which are essential to the work of Shiatsu
- sharing and connecting with one another
- learn to give summer related Shiatsu and be able to give a 45min Shiatsu treatment to family or friends!
- The aspects of the element Fire such as Touch, Inspiration, Connection and Joy will be taken to another level
- Shiatsu Bodywork and its Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) background will give us ways to experience and understand ourselves in this season and provides tools for a more open heart.
