Silence of TouchAcademy for Rebalancing Bodywork
Embodying Life
Silence of Touch RebalancingWhere present touch becomes the instrument for healing to happen -
|In the world today we have disconnected and mostly lost touch with our body - the temple we live in. The collective issue of trauma that we are having to address today is fundamentally a disconnect from the body - fragmentation. Trauma breaks relation, it damages human capacities for trust, connection and mutuality.
The intelligence and wisdom of our body is a fundamental resource. When we are aligned, connected and in touch with our bodies, we get to live a completely different quality life - being present and grounded in the here and now, having resilience and capacity to embrace our lives and the world.
In this work you will experience a safe, welcoming space where the body is the doorway, the reflection and mirror of your personal structure - understanding, without judgment our holding patterns, our defence strategies and survival mechanisms. All these have developed in childhood and are mostly are out of date, not necessary anymore and more like a hindrance, as it blocks embodiment. Understanding, seeing and becoming aware of these imprisoning dynamics that hold us back, gives us the capacity to change something in our lives. Releasing old and unfelt or repressed emotional content in the body, frees us up for a new way of relating to ourselves and to the world.
It is work, that touches us deeply and it is simply mind-blowing, to watch the puzzle pieces come together, which the body so clearly lays out in front of us. Touch brings us back - it integrates, it reconnects and melts separation. Touch is the forgotten language of love - it has a healing power that opens doors for your body to release, discharge and regulate the nervous system.

The Belly, The Psoas, The Pelvis
The Belly session is a meditation in touch - A Hara massage…
The cosmos of our belly is a vast inquiry that relates to the deepest places within us. For many, it is a very intimate and vulnerable area. It is also the source of life, laughter, our gut feelings, relaxed confidence, and centeredness
The Hara … It's a power-packed place!
In this module we are going to be touching the core muscles of the body and the issues that they contain - it is deeply empowering and freeing…
By touching the core muscles of the body, we learn to hold space for the core wounds of our being.

A wonderful and revealing exercise on how you 'walk' through life …

Light and Shadow of Women
We live in a time of great upheaval. Today, the understanding of the female as well as the male is in huge upheaval and a great transformation is possible.
For centuries, as women we have defined ourselves through others. We have often heard and experienced from an early age on, that we are either too much or too little. Out of this conflict, we often choose the muddy and lukewarm compromise. Rather than expressing ourselves, we internalise this conflict - often resulting in shame and directing the energy against ourselves through self-doubt, self-criticism, rejection of the female body etc. In order not to feel this, we seek confirmation from outside through culture, social media, relationships and success. Then we try to fulfill that expectation, caught in the search for perfection and the inevitable failure. Most importantly, we have lost access to our natural, precious and valuable femininity - as well as the ability to love ourselves as we are.
Only when we value and love ourselves, is the true encounter with others possible.

A Mallorca Retreat
Welcome to this gentle retreat for your body and being.
This is a one week workshop, that is deeply recharging. There is a morning program of meditation, yoga and a session exchange of Conscious Touch - being present with your hands, holding and being held.
Conscious Touch is a silent way to meet the need to resolve the inner chaos that has accumulated within. It is a condensed moment of inner watching, of relaxed awareness, allowing the presence of another to anchor us through their touch. It is said again and again with amazement and wonder, how much happens simply through being touched and held in a non-doing space. Many inner issues and conflicts surface and dissolve. The body rests, regenerates and inwardly realigns, and inspiration returns. It is a compassionate retreat into our body and being, simple and profound.
In the afternoons you are free to go to the beach, explore the wonderful island, swim in the pool or take a session with our experienced team.
Some evenings there will be a meditation, or singing and being together in sound and silence.
You can bring a friend or loved one to partner up with, or meet someone new.
Although this is residential, if you live outside, you are welcome to join us.

The Legs & Pelvis
Our legs and feet are foundational, as they walk and carry us through life. We have seen how mind and body are one, your attitude to life will be reflected in the body. So how you walk is going to reflect, how you carry yourself in life.
Let us introduce the Catwalk - a wonderful and revealing exploration of how you ´walk´ through life…
The legs really are a powerful, dynamic energy - agile and flexible. They support vitality and joy - and stand for balance, stability, grounding and connected-ness.
Through touch, body reading, joint release & movement and inquiry, we explore the world of the legs and feet - Learning to resource and connect again to strength, power, vitality - expanding into who we really are, and having the courage to walking it!

The Back, the Neck, the Chest, the Breath - Support
Here we go again- starting a new round…it never gets boring !
This work is ever unfolding - Silence of Touch is a bridge between our body and our psyche, our mind, our being human.
Embodying life - Rebalancing is a gift from a modern Buddha.
We walk towards our freedom step by step, and are carried by the wisdom of our body.
This module is very rich. We explore the themes of support, control and trust, our breathing patterns. We meet the complex world of our hearts - our longing to love and dissolve, to create, to expand, to be free - and our fear of letting it all in!
When your tools are embodied by your essence - it's so much fun !
Testimonials
The training was great! It is not only the safe and healing space filled with warmth and cordiality that you create. What really convinced me and far exceeded my evaluations is that everything became visible and tangible that I previously knew in theory about storing experiences / emotions in the body and the releasing healing power of mindful touch. In myself and in other participants, I repeatedly experienced how energy blockages were released through touch (also from long-gone traumas) and repressed feelings moved again.
Dear Ones, it was an exciting journey with you ... many impressions, beautiful views, sometimes deep gorges and raging rivers. You definitely left your mark on my heart. Watching you is a real pleasure. I will take your experiences and the ease that you radiate with me and will make them my own. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING. Katja
Dear Anu, Dear Gyana, thank you very much for your indescribably great work! I am moved and touched on all levels and at the end of my training I am no longer the same as before. Thank you for making so much transformation possible… Petra
