You are invited to a 3 day Sei-ki workshop with Alice Whieldon, co-author, with Kishi Akinobu, of Sei-ki: Life in Resonance, the Secret Art of Shiatsu (2011). The focus will be on fundamental touch. If you are a Shiatsu practitioner, this will be a window into the roots of that art and a chance to develop your touch mindfully.

The emphasis will be on experience through practice and observation and explanations will be offered as we work and discuss.
