Erin "A truly joyful experience to de-tox and cleanse the whole body while learning a wonderful new healing massage technique." GV. "Wonderful feel from the first arrival - covered a lot of material while still keeping it fun and light hearted." Leif. Often we want to explore a new skill or treat ourselves to a special experience, but are put off by the thought that it may be beyond our ability or won't give us any ongoing value. Well I think we all need to be pampered occasionally and I think it is great to learn new things, so here is a weekend where you can achieve both.... Heartworks Lomi Lomi massage is one of the most luxurious massages you could ever wish to receive, it is simple and non strenuous to learn & give. The beautiful thing about our course is that you get to spend 3 days in an idyllic bush land retreat, being looked after with beautiful gourmet meals, sharing great fun company, taught by highly trained facilitators whilst giving and especially receiving lots and lots of wonderful massages all weekend........ahhhhhh There is time to lie in the sun, bush walking or just watch the wallabies graze on the lawn...but most of all you will be nurturing yourself. After all this beautiful self indulgence, you will have a wonderful skill that you can share with friends & relatives or there is even the possibility to earn a little extra money from home giving massages. Anything is possible. Heartworks Lomi Lomi is a wonderful massage that incorporates the awareness of energy healing through the hands, it can be combined with many other modalities to increase and compliment your skill range if you already work in this area. A wonderful way to celebrate a wedding anniversary or give as a gift to a special friend or family member. Come and experience how to give a Hawaiian style massage in a hands-on healing & learning residential workshop. Heartworks Lomi Lomi works with opening the heart using hands, breathing, rhythm and energy flow. Using the hands as the instruments of the heart, you can open up on all levels, to let go of the old and make room for the new energy and love. ******* Expert tutors, a magical setting, accommodation and all meals provided.

"Tantra is not just a collection of techniques to enhance sexual experience. It is a complete science of self-realization, based on the cumulative wisdom of centuries of exploration into the meaning of life and consciousness. Tantra the word means 'to weave' is a set of powerful, transformative tools that can be used to bring new meaning and joy to every aspect of our daily life. You are the lab; the whole experiment is to go on within you. This is not a religion, this is a science. No belief is needed. Only a daringness to experiment is enough; courage to experiment is enough." Osho For more details go to our workshop page on this link .............
