SLOWING DOWN. COMING HOME IN TO YOUR BODY.

THE CERTIFIED BASIC COURSE – AN URBAN RETREAT

Are you ready to experience the true depth of Lomi Lomi massage?

This course and urban retreat is for you if you want to slow down, get out of your head and drop into your body more, learn how to be present with and give caring attention to another person, make a next step in your self-development, use your hands in a loving and healing way.

In April 25 I (Robb Correll, co-founder and principal DJ at Ecstatic Dance Berne) hosted a first Lomi-Lomi course with Dan Joy and it was a great success on multiple levels. Everyone who participated in the course got access to transformation in some way – new possibilities in being and doing – along with learning how to give a 2 hour ritual lomi-lomi massage.

One of the reasons I was so keen to bring this course to Switzerland was because I was sure that if enough people who regularly participate in our dance took the course, it would significantly affect the quality and possibilities of connection in our dance space. And that has proven to be so. 6 of the 10 participants in the first course are regular dancers at Ecstatic Dance Bern and when they are present, they bring an enriched sense of freedom and connection to the field for everyone.

In the hope that even more of our dancers will be able to experience the depth of connection this course makes possible, I am hosting it again. Details below.

Lomi Lomi is a full body treatment that establishes a deep connection of body, mind and soul, and allows the receiver to meet their own deeper aspects in a fully relaxed state. Transformational experiences, spontaneous healings and balancing of energies can take place.

Dan Joy is a bestselling author on mindfulness and world-renowned Lomi Lomi teacher whose treatments were named by Time Out as “one of the best massages in London”.

The course / retreat is suitable for anyone who would like to slow down, get out of their head and drop into their body more, and wish to learn about how to be present with and give caring attention to another person, how to use their hands in a loving and healing way. It is also great for self-development and is open to everyone – no pre-qualifications are required.

Receiving and giving multi-handed massages are a part of the experience.
