Listening & Care through Touch Workshop
with Ósc Trujillo
September 20th
Date: Sunday, September 20th, 10am-5:30pm
Location: This workshop takes place on our land project Owl Song Sanctuary in Siler City, North Carolina. The location is confidential but the address will be shared with you after your enrollment.
About the workshop:
We’ll be exploring the sensitivity of our perception and attunement within ourselves, each other and with the land. The practices we’ll explore supports us in heightening our ability to perceive and work with energy, nonverbal insights and the subtle cues with care, ease and deepening trust in our relationships. Discussion, movement, contemplative and somatic practices, and games will help us connect and drop into physical touch and bodywork.
Lunch will be served.
Who is it for?
For those interested in subtle and non verbal healing, communication and care. All levels, no experience with touch, bodywork or energy work needed. We are committed to making our practice accessible, please share your accessibility needs in the application - modifications can be made to all practices.
