Conscious Touch 1 Day Taster Course

Discover a New Dimension of Massage: A Journey to Transformation

The right kind of touch is here for you.

Welcome to the Conscious Touch one-day taster course, where we invite you to experience a transformative approach to healing and connection. Developed by Roger Jackson, Conscious Touch challenges traditional healing modalities that often treat the body and mind as projects to be fixed. Instead, we offer a space where nothing needs to be improved or earned.

In this immersive experience, you will discover the profound impact of simply being present with another human being. Through gentle, soft, non-demanding physical contact, you will learn to allow your body to rest, open, and trust. This course emphasizes the importance of receiving love, attention, and care without conditions—something many have rarely experienced.

Join us to explore how Conscious Touch can provide a pathway to deeper connection and emotional healing. This taster course is an opportunity to engage with the essence of this groundbreaking practice and to understand how it can enhance your relationships and well-being.

Come and be part of this journey towards a new understanding of touch as a fundamental human experience. We look forward to welcoming you!

Embark on a journey into the art of deep listening.

This is an invitation to personal transformation, deep connection, presence, joy, and laughter. It is an invitation to deepen into our sense of self, into our body, into intimacy. It’s an opportunity to release what you’ve been carrying and return home.

In this immersive one day introduction to Conscious Touch Massage, you will explore the core themes that define this transformative practice. You’ll learn the foundations of soft, open touch and its positive effects on the nervous system, equipping you with essential somatic tools to provide deeply relaxing and connecting massages.

This powerful bodywork style is the culmination of years of work and study in the field of healing, body work and trauma release, blending together techniques from Esalen massage, deep tissue massage, Trager technique and Somatic Experiencing into a calming, beautiful meeting with self, a returning home.

The practice of love in action.

Through movement practices and intimate sharing practices, you will cultivate awareness of yourself and others before approaching the massage table.

You’ll master long, flowing strokes that envelop the body, creating a sense of warmth, flow, and safety for the receiver.

Finally, you’ll begin to understand the impact of trauma on the body and how conscious touch can facilitate profound healing.

This is the perfect gateway into a new field of work, or an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of bodywork.
