Clean Touch: Sunday 12th May, 10.30-11.30am.

With: Jeni Edge and Jackie Calderwood

Level of Clean Experience required: some

The session will share practical exercises from our explorations with Body massage, using inspiration from Clean Language, Clean Space, Emergent Knowledge and Caitlin Walker’s Clean Setup.  Working in pairs with simple guided hand, foot or back massage (through clothing). Safe and supportive session in which to explore movement and stillness, spoken word and the listening touch, mind and body responses.

Participants will leave with:

• First-hand experience of Clean Touch – giving and receiving.
• An opportunity to explore relationships of body-mind perception through language and touch.
• The chance to relax, observe and learn from your body’s inner wisdom.
• Discoveries about how metaphor and massage may combine.
