Prenatal Work with Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua. Your physical life begins at conception, which offers you a formless, boundless, and timeless existence to develop safely in your mother’s womb. This environment allows you to undergo all stages of evolution in a short time, providing love, warmth, and the freedom to move weightlessly. Even as an adult, every cell in your body, your innermost core, your soul, and your subconscious still remember this time. Birth is a powerful transition, marking your entry into the world. It separates you from your mother and, in a broader sense, from the universe. The feeling of isolation and loneliness can persist throughout life, often repressed and buried deep in your subconscious. The warm water environment can create a receptive space where your pain and longing can emerge. The prenatal phase and birth have a profound influence on your entire life. They shape your most important attitudes and impact your life patterns and relationships. The desire to experience original unity with the universe remains, bringing inner peace as the feeling of separation fades. In moments of surrender and unconditional love, you become one again, a flowing part of the whole. The Process: The Cosmic Child process focuses on a meditative experience rather than learning new techniques. The challenge is in the “being” rather than “doing.” On this inner journey of discovery, you encounter yourself. Through reflex movements, aquatic body waves, and embryonic positions, you dive deeper into memories of your birth, prenatal phase, conception, and beyond, experiencing a space of deep inner stillness. Water work and gentle exercises open hidden inner spaces within your subconscious. The warm water, Oceanic Bodywork® Aqua, and the loving presence of the water family accompany you through this intensive process.

Tantsu was developed by Harold Dull in the same year he conceived Watsu with the intent to bring on land the same principles provided in Watsu. The basic principles of Zen Shiatsu are further amplified in Tantsu, where a person is totally contained in a whole-body holding position, called Tantsu Cradle. A Tantsu session includes passive stretching, use of Shiatsu pressure points, spontaneous movements of the body, and non-verbal communication. In this course, you will learn different cradles for providing a safe container, while moving and stretching your partner in sync with the breath. As a receiver, you will enjoy the Tantsu benefits through the gentleness and deep connection that each position creates. We will also practice active meditation, breathing exercises, and free dance movements. Tantsu is for anyone who wants to deepen body-communication through being present and the quality of “touch”. In short, Watsu’s qualities of presence in the moment, unconditional holding, and loving care are brought onto land, thereby creating sensations of deep contentment and safe relaxation. As such, Tantsu offers an opportunity to open the door to a new level of wellness and healing. Prerequisites: No previous experience required.
