kikokara introductory workshop
“I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding”
everything is always in motion.
try to be still, and you will notice that you cannot.
how can we learn to rest in motion? to be like water, flowing where the forces of the earth wish to take us? how can we use our graceful touch to allow others to access this state of heartful flow?
“when we embody grace, our touch becomes a gift inviting others to soften”
what is Kikokara bodywork?
Kikokara weaves wisdom from shiatsu, thai-yoga massage, reiki and dance. It is a holistic bodywork practice that finds it’s ground in heartfelt connection, tenderness and pleasure. It is guided by principles of non-forcing, fluid movement and spacious listening – inviting the receivers’ body to unfurl without expectation. Kikokara venerates the body as its own healer, holding all the intelligence it needs to attend itself. It helps people remember how to let the body lead – how to let this ancient system guide us. The deeper inspiration of kikokara is to reconnect human beings to the broader cosmology of which we a part; it is ultimately in and through the body that this connection is remembered.
what will we do?
this workshop will focus on a guided sequence that I will lead you through. We will practice both giving and receiving bodywork. In the giving role, you will learn how to gift others the experiencing of flow; in the receiving role, you will practice softening through movement. Both roles are equally important and rich in information for your body. We will also engage in group/solo exercises to develop our quality of touch and kinesthetic awareness. This workshop is intended for people who are curious about kikoara bodywork, but not yet at the point of wanting to do an extended multi-day training. It gives a space for anyone to ‘dip their toes in’, and get a good sense of what it is all about. This workshops is suitable for all abilities – no previous experience is required to participate. By the end of the workshop, you will have over an hours worth of sequences that you can begin using.
Trainings go beyond simply learning new techniques and sequences, they offer an opportunity to settle into a new way of experiencing reality, to slow down and discover things you didn’t know you already knew. The wisdom of the body requires spaciousness to reveal itself – a pace that is very difficult to access in modern life. This training will give your body a space to allow its wisdom to move through you, with a community of others doing the same. It will provide an opportunity to come home to your own innate beauty. This homecoming is the essential fuel we need to grow not only as bodyworkers, but also as unique individuals in a troubled world.
