Touching EssenceTouching Essence is a multi-sensory, multi-cultural, neo-shamanic approach to healing through touch. A Touching Essence session can include skilled touch, breath and sound healing, the use of essential oils, mantra & prayer. Using a map of 8 Chakras and Chinese Meridians, along with creating a mantra through affirmation and visualization of desired outcome, giver and receiver co-create a unique healing session. Ellen will introduce the Essential Elements of Healing Through Touch, and weave these classes into the fabric of our time together. We’ll enjoy time in the hot springs pools for aquatic bodywork, and bring the fluidity of the water to our practice at the table.
