Tiefgreifende Berührung - Profoundly touching mit Alice Whieldon

Sei-Ki is a 'unification with the mind of the universe … supported by natural vitality.'

Kishi Akinobu

This workshop for anyone interested in:

• Developing fine skills in manual therapy
• Listening to how the body wants to be touched; tekiatsu in Shiatsu
• Exploring manual therapy as a way of life in addition to being a therapeutic approach
• Learning to be more open and neutral in receiving the client; watching the magic unfold when you do so
• Drawing from Zen to refine our understanding of what helps
• Stilling the mind to give space to how things really are

Sei-Ki is a new lineage coming out of Shiatsu. Its founder, Kishi Akinobu, a master of Shiatsu, experienced a profound awakening to truth in 1980. Out of this, Sei-Ki was born.

Sei-Ki is not a technique but an approach to life – emptiness in action. It is touch at its simplest and most profound. Clients report coming home to themselves, releasing old tensions, finding they can breathe again.

Sei-Ki takes us to a place beyond 'therapy' to where the ordinariness of human touch becomes a Zen discipline.

If you are a Shiatsu practitioner, you do not have to abandon Shiatsu to be inspired by Sei-Ki. We invite you to join us and catch a flavour of the roots of your work through the lens of Sei-Ki.

For students of Sei-Ki, since the Way of Touch is grounded in beginners mind, whether you are a newcomer or old hand you will find much to enjoy and learn.

For anyone new to this work, come and enjoy the restorative powers of uncomplicated touch, practicing and receiving, for personal or professional development. Be inspired and come away refreshed.

Teaching approach:

Demonstration is crucial to picking up the ‘feel’, qualities and basic form of Sei-Ki through active observation and, where possible, experiencing the direct touch of the instructor or assistant.

Practice is central to learning Sei-Ki. Guidance will be given, as well as time to freely explore with the benefit of gentle supervision.

Discussion in the form of Q&A sessions and short talks to help students understand core principles in Sei-Ki.
