A 6-day intensive.

Tantsu grew out of Watsu. Watsu is a form of aquatic bodywork developed in the 1980s by Harold Dull, floating and stretching people in warm water. In Tantsu, the unconditional holding of Watsu is brought back onto land.

Tantsu offers a deep state of listening and creates an unconditional union and cradle of connected breath and presence. The trust established by this cradle and its creative exploration make it ideal for giving a Tantsu session to anybody.

During the first four days, you will be exposed to the basics of Tantsu: cradling someone in a comfortable hold, which gives access to a deep level of relaxation and stillness. The micro-movements that appear will guide your moves, stretches and rotations of shoulders, arms, hips and legs, thereby releasing blockages in the energy flow.

The following two days will take you deeper into body-listening and exploration of various possible body movements. You will also gain knowledge about meridians, hara, and the connection between mind and body.

In this intensive Tantsu will become a joyful expression of caring love.

A 6-day intro into working with embryological patterns and attachment imprints.

Being in a warm pool seems to spontaneously evoke many prenatal and preverbal gestures that emerged inside the protective matrix of the amnion (a membrane that closely covers the embryo when it’s first formed).

In order to set the intention for calm and grounded contact, this course starts with a brief exploration of cranial sacral therapy principles. The training includes both land-based components as well as explorations in water, incorporating experiential exercises, informative lectures, engaging videos, and sacred creative expressions.

This is a time to let go of whatever aquatic techniques you have learned and be prepared to unfold, unmask, and delve into your own deeply rooted imprints.

A 6-day deepening into the principles of Biodynamic Cranial Sacral therapy in water and on land.

Amnion combines elements of prenatal somatic therapy, attachment theory, and cranial sacral unwinding.

Through Amnion, we tap into implicit memories, creating the potential for releasing stored imprints within the body’s tissues, muscles, and organs. By allowing the body to simply be, these imprints manifest as meaningful gestures telling the story of our preverbal awareness.

Building upon the basics learned in Amnion 1, this course will take your understanding to a deeper level and enrich your therapeutic skills.
