What is the purpose of this workshop?

This workshop is more than an introduction to bodywork. It is an invitation to return to presence, awareness, and connection. In a fast-moving world, full presence has become rare, yet it remains essential for genuine well-being. Through Qi Gong and bodywork practices, you will explore ways to release stress, restore calm, and reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world.

The course is designed to refine awareness not only in your hands, but in your whole being. This quality matters when supporting others on their healing journeys. When we are truly present, we tend to feel more balanced, more connected to our surroundings, and more intentional in our choices—from the food we eat to the relationships we nurture and the work we value.

In a society where attention is often scattered, these practices can help rebuild human-to-human and human-to-nature connection, with a positive effect on overall well-being and mental health. Stress may soften, and the tendency toward anxiety, reactivity, or unhealthy habits can lessen.

Return to your essence. Come back to the basics of presence and awareness, and let SOUL IN TOUCH guide you toward a more intentional, fulfilling life.

Course Outline & Key Components

Join this immersive weekend experience for a powerful introduction to energetic and physical bodywork. Over two days and 12 hours, you will explore the unique SOUL IN TOUCH modality, a practice that emphasizes presence, sensitivity, and deep awareness.

You will be guided through a grounding Qi Gong sequence designed to help you settle into the present moment and become receptive to another person's energy. You will also learn to give and receive two bodywork sequences—one supine and one prone—so you can experience the depth of the practice from both sides.

For those who wish to continue, an online course is available to help you integrate and expand what you have learned at your own pace. Ongoing online gatherings provide space for questions, shared learning, and guidance toward further table massage trainings.

A beautiful journey back to being a human being, rather than a human doing.

What is SOUL IN TOUCH?

SOUL IN TOUCH is a bodywork method that brings together different healing arts to touch the essence of the soul and reveal the healing power of human connection.

Practicing Presence & Awareness

Being present with the food we eat allows us to feel more clearly what our body needs at any moment in life.

When we remain aware in nature, we learn more about ourselves and our deep connection with the natural world. Practicing outdoors can bring a sense of inner contentment that naturally supports well-being.

Whether with family members, friends, or couples, offering someone your full attention and presence is healing in itself.

Through bodywork, we relearn how to simply be and how to listen actively, helping another person feel heard, seen, and cared for from the heart.

The learnings from the workshop can be brought into everyday life, including:

the way we physically approach others
the way we communicate with others
the way we respond rather than react, staying centered no matter what happens
what food our body is asking for
understanding the natural connection between human and human, and human and nature
creating inner contentment through the healing power of safe community

Conscious Touch – a key ingredient in the method

Healing reveals itself through conscious touch, not technique alone. While technique grows with experience, the lasting nourishment comes from the care and presence you offer. In this method, the touch is soft, gentle, and profound at the same time—rooted in pure awareness, where the hand melts into the other and the two begin to feel like one.

Asking permission before entering someone's space or body gives touch meaning and leaves a memorable imprint. It creates a co-created healing space where a sense of oneness can unfold naturally.

This may sound like a high ideal, yet many are surprised by how quickly they can learn to touch consciously and bring that quality into daily life. Conscious touch is one of humanity's oldest healing powers; we simply need to return to the feeling body.

For whom is SOUL IN TOUCH?

Yoga, Qi Gong & Pilates teachers
Massage therapists who want to go deeper into bodywork
Energy workers
Reiki practitioners
Anyone curious about conscious touch and looking to reduce stress and anxiety

This course is especially valuable for yoga teachers, as it helps develop skillful touch for hands-on assists in yoga poses. It also deepens your understanding of anatomy and expands your ability to support students in more meaningful ways, both in group classes and one-on-one healing sessions.
