Suzanne and Rosa are really excited to offer this course as a residential at EarthSpirit retreat centre in the countryside near Glastonbury. It will allow you to immerse yourself in learning pregnancy massage and shiatsu in a holistic way.
You will have time not only to learn new massage and shiatsu skills, suitable for all trimesters of pregnancy, but also experience what happens in pregnancy for both mother and baby.
We will spend time with visualisations, breath and movement practices and use the sacred land near Glastonbury Tor to connect with the nurturing and mothering qualities of the earth. EarthSpirit is in the countryside, about an hour from Bristol airport and we will help organise transport - lift sharing etc. We hope you will appreciate being in the beautiful space of the EarthSpirit Centre. Enjoy lunch and down time in the gardens, with access to an indoor hot tub to unwind.
Evening can be spent getting to know other people on the course or having time to rest. We are only 5 miles from Glastonbury town and its sacred site. You can even bring your partner, and breastfeeding children. We will also be offering optional extras, including a thirty minute morning yoga class and hopefully a sweat-lodge or fire themed around the womb space and the belly of the earth. This is course is open both for those who would like to refresh and deepen what they have learnt as well as for those new to pregnancy massage and shiatsu including people who have done day trainings.
Having longer together, especially evening and early morning sessions gives us time to explore themes more deeply, and have more time for sharing and exploring visualisations and exercises. You may or may not be working with pregnant women, but you feel that you would like a deeper understanding of how to support women and their families during this exciting time. You may be unsure, or even slightly nervous, of how to work with certain aspects of pregnancy.
