Soul of Skin

the tools to touch with confidence, creativity and intuition using BodyFlow massage, a technique created by Andy Saich. We will teach positions, posture and techniques of touch, specific to floor massage, that make both the giving and receiving of the massage relaxing and enjoyable. 

This massage incorporates sliding, kneading, effleurage and holding into one seamless flow using hands, arms, legs and the whole body as massage 'tools'. It includes some close body contact creating a strong sense of connection, care and trust.

BodyFlow is not an erotic massage as such. The emphasis is on acceptance, nurturing, appreciation and holding rather than on erotic arousal. However there will be an invitation for the massage to be both given and received unclothed and also for the genitals to be included. The intention of this is to create a space where the person receiving feels accepted in their entirety without the message that their sexuality, symbolized by their genitals, needs to be treated separately or excluded. Thus BodyFlow becomes a unique space where the one receiving is invited to connect with their sexuality in a witnessed and held space but with no expectation other than for them to feel into and experience whatever feelings, fears or ideas they have about their nature as a sexual being and integrate them into their understanding of themselves as a whole.

Please note: the BodyFlow massage is done on a floor mattress that demands a certain level of flexibility and fitness. Therefore, in order to participate you will need to be in good health and be able to sit comfortably cross legged with both your hands free to massage for up to 20-30 minutes at a time.
