This six day retreat for Body Workers will transform their experience of giving a massage into a new world of awareness; and offer ways to restore and sustain wellbeing in the client. By incorporating mindfulness of the practitioner and inviting the recipient to participate mindfully as well, the experience of giving and receiving a massage is transformed into an appreciation of the energetic flow of experience.

Each session is unique and fresh.

Based on Kum Nye – a Tibetan Yoga, developed by the Tibetan Lama Tarthang Tulku, this work enhances the energetic flow of feelings and sensations in the body.  The bodies’ natural response is towards healing and wholeness. In order for healing to occur, the energetic pathways of the body must be open and flowing. Kum Nye opens blockages in the body and re-establishes the healthy flow of energy throughout the body. Kum Nye facilitates awareness of body, breath and mind. This healthy flow of energy though the pathways of the body initiates a process of mind healing without psychology.

This workshop is for experienced Body Workers only.  They will be introduced to the exercises, theory, and techniques of Kum Nye and Kum Nye Massage. There will be plenty of opportunity to give and receive this powerful work.

Ratna Ling Retreat Center is situated on 120 acres of beautiful lush redwood forests. Guests will stay in cottage suites with dining/living rooms, fireplaces and incredible views; and will have time to truly unwind relax and heal. 

The last session will be on Friday afternoon, with a celebration dinner Friday evening.
