Introduction to Massage Workshop

This workshop will introduce you to simple, everyday massage techniques that focus on connectiveness and healing qualities.  No previous massage or bodywork experience is necessary.  With a playful, fun approach, we will present fundamental elements of bodywork, physiology, breath awareness, grounding, quality of touch, and stress reduction.   By the end of the day, you will be able to perform a basic Swedish massage on a friend.  We will teach the techniques on floor mats, so you will require no special equipment to continue practicing at home. 

Participants are required to bring two twin-size flat sheets (including pillowcase), a blanket, and a queen-size pillow or bolster.  Massage oil, lotion, and all other equipment and supplies will be provided.  Please wear loose, layered clothing and trim your fingernails before attending.  (Women are recommended to wear/bring tank tops or bathing suits.  Men are recommended to wear/bring shorts.) 

NEW: CFMNH now offers meal service! For just $10, you can have a delicious meal at our on-campus Retreat Center. Meals must be reserved and paid for at the time of registration.
