About this Training
Deepen your bodywork practice and expand Ancient Wisdom Navigation techniques in this 30-day experience of coming home, in deeper and deeper ways, to your essential resonance. In the context of the work, we will access hidden reserves of strength, alignment and freedom in our physical bodies, and on all levels. This workshop is open by Application only, to those who have attended at least 3 previous Retreats. Space is limited to 4 participants.
The Apprenticeship Training will also provide the opportunity to integrate navigation of our inner and outer worlds, working with members of the local community, as well as the land.
The 2024 Training will include an introductory journey into Therapeutic Lomi Lomi: specifically, how to maintain our ‘internal speed’ and embodied listening while attending to specific complaints of the client.
This group will also receive preliminary instruction in the art of teaching ‘Ho’omanamana’, the expansive embodiment practice which allows us to transmute resistance and blockage in the physical & energetic bodies, and turn them into contributing factors for our forward motion in life. Participants, upon demonstrating sufficient absorption of this practice will be able to graduate from this training as ‘Student Teachers’ of Ho’omanamana.
At the conclusion of this course, you may complete an optional Accreditation Evaluation, potentially giving you the possibility of becoming an Apprentice or an Accredited Practitioner of the bodywork.
