T he practice of Esalen® Massage brings both the giver and receiver

into direct contact with the beauty of being. The subtleties of this

work provide a way to contact the self as a whole and bring new aware-

ness into each sensory experience. I, In this immersion, we'll enhance

the traditional philosophy of Esalen® Massage with an intense study of

the energetic system of chakras.

You will learn to access these powerful energy centers through the al-

chemy of touch, scent, & sound. Working with sound/vibrations, essen-

tial oils, and massage techniques we will impact both subtle and deep

layers of the body helping the individual to achieve an incompara- ble

sense of well-being.

Revitalize and renew your practice through engaging your olfactory and

auditory senses. Esalen® Massage, rooted in its principle of addressing

the body as a whole, can be deepened when integrated with an under-

standing of energetic system of chakras. You will learn the subtleties of

each scent, and how to blend, to alchemize your own blend, creating an

aromatherapy medicine designed to harmonize the energetic body.

From cultures both ancient and modern, you will learn sounds, chants, &

prayers for harmonizing the chakras. The vibration of sound creates

spaciousness that allows muscles to loosen, organs to soften, internal

expansion and restores the natural flow of energy.

POWER: 5Rhythms™ Waves and Heartbeat with Tim Booth and Kate Shela

May 6-13, 2013

P ower surges through nature 24 hours a day and we look upon it as separate from who we are- disconnected from our own elemental life force. In 'Power' we will begin to re-align ourselves with our most vital essence and allow

the surges of our own nature to rise up and fill us up. Not running from, or towards, but stepping into that middle state harmony. Bridging the what is with the what could be. 'Power' will offer you a dual opportunity to be surrounded by nature both within and without.

In this week we will drop down to reconnect to the deeper potency of who we know ourselves to be. Using the 5R as our core can opener we will also use other tools from our kit of transformation that we have worked with over many years, we aim to gently unwind ourselves from the stresses of ordinary reality into a state of receptivity and creativity.

Kate and Tim are known as catalysts for life changing healing experiences held in a container of sweet and spicy ten-derness. Their combined mixture of artistic potency inspires those around them to step more wholeheartedly into the dance they are living in all areas of life. They met on the dance floor at Esalen® in 1995. Through various practices Kate and Tim will lead you through the back roads of your being and invite you to step cleanly into all that is your birth right. On the 5Rhythms® teacher training path, this workshop will count as five days of Waves and two days of Heartbeat.

Kate Shela is a 5Rhythms teacher,

shamanic teacher and an exceptionally

gifted shamanic healer. She is known for

her enormous passion, a vulnerable sense

of the intimate, and the ability to create

community and tribe. She is a senior in-

structor within the Moving Center School

founded by Gabrielle Roth, with whom she

has been closely associated since 1992.

She is accredited to teach both Waves and

Heartbeat.

Tim Booth has been teaching the 5Rhythms

since 1995. Concurrently he has just celebrat-

ed 30 years as the singer/songwriter in the UK

band James, by releasing a box set of their

collected works. The band have sold over 25

million CD's worldwide. He is also trained

in Voice Dialogue Therapy and the Meisner

Acting Technique. He has taught acting at The

Actors Centre in London. His passion is to

facilitate a deeper sense of being and

connectedness to others through creativity. His

style is gentle strength.
