BYS PRESENTER – [PRESENTING: MASSAGE IN THE STYLE OF MAKING LOVE and TAOIST EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE] 

*Massage in the Style of Making Love* – There are countless techniques in the art of massage, but presence is key. In this workshop we will practice specific ways to touch people,
but more importantly we will talk about and practice the ways we can be intimate with people when we give them a massage and the intentions we carry behind our touch, in our hearts, minds, and passion.

*Taoist Emotional Intelligence* – Taoism has a practice of emotional intelligence that is rare in today’s world. In this workshop we will learn some practices to help us develop an emotional language to know our emotions, cleanse our emotions and cultivate unconditional love, gratitude, trust, courage, peace and kindness to apply in all situations of life.
