In Japanese healing, martial arts, and meditation, the Hara is the wellspring of life—where breath settles, Ki gathers, and the mind becomes quiet. When the Hara is awakened, intuition deepens, presence stabilizes, and touch becomes a true extension of the inner self.

The expressions and movements of the Five Elements in our Sessions.

In this seminar, we will explore the roots of Shiatsu by tracing its history and examining the ancient art of Anma. Together, we will practice traditional hands-on techniques that form the foundation of Shiatsu. We will also explore the importance of Dō In* and self-care Ki cultivating practice.

Shiatsu is a form of Japanese bodywork rooted in East Asian medical philosophy. Where acupuncture uses needles to target acupressure points in the meridian system, shiatsu balances the flow of vital energy (or ki) through touch, stretching, and guided movement.

Each year a small group of Shiatsu practitioners and enthusiasts gathers together for a three-day camp on the beautiful land at Tekenink, which has been protected by a conservation easement since 1987
