On this trial and practice day we invite you to get to know the basics of the Intuitive Thai Meridian Massage. We combine learning a short massage sequence with getting to know some aspects of the Thai energy pathways on a map inside the body. We explore the possible freedom that comes with trusting principles of touch and our intuition, beyond just learned choreographic movements. The half day gives an impression of: “Intuitive Thai Meridian Basic Education”, as it will be offered on 8 weekends in the Somatic Academy from September on. Likewise, the curriculum of the training will be presented and questions answered.
