Soulful Touch
With Arnie Katz and Ron McClelland
October 24 - 27, 2019
Come join together in community with men who love men, to explore a variety of expressions of touch!
You will experience:
- the art of giving and receiving massage and other touch modalities.
- the sensuality, relaxation, and connection that conscious touch offers.
- using massage, touch, and breathwork to get more into our bodies.
- letting go of stress and tension and creating greater ease and freedom.
- communal touch and group touch
- playing with dance and movement
Soulful Touch has been designed by Arnie Katz, a massage therapist and workshop facilitator with over 30 years of experience. In this workshop, we will explore touch as a way to deeply relax, be nurtured, get out of our heads and all the chatter, heal old stories about our bodies, and get more connected to our bodies, to pleasure and to connection with ourselves and other men in the group. Arnie creates a safe space, while encouraging fun in the process. He will be assisted by Ron Mcclelland, an experienced teacher of movement, dance, and embodiment practices. He has taken several of Arnie’s workshops. Please note that if you are new to Easton Mountain, we offer a “newbie special”. See below for more info on the rates and accommodation options.
