Thanks for the supportive words, Heidi. Robin and I are leading a group together at Esalen, September 5-10...I love teaching with Robin; as a team we cover a wide spectrum of approaches to deeply touching and moving body & spirit.
There is an Esalen Massage DVD and I have two Essential Touch DVDs, Volume I & II. Robin offers classes in Asheville. I offer an annual basic certification and in 2011, will offer a 4 week Advanced series, in Bali:))
Also have a weekend intro in Miami, June 11-13 at Educating Hands School.
Were do you live?

Hi Kelly,
I fell in love with Esalen Massage and Esalen Institute after watching the Esalen video ten years ago while in massage school! Have not made it out to Big Sur yet, but i am determined to do so! Check out Essential Touch videos by Esalen Instructor Ellen Watson- amazing work! Dreaming of Esalen....

Hi Kelly ~ I work at Esalen as a member of the Healing Arts Department and love to practice and teach Esalen Massage. We have wonderful training programs both at and away from Esalen. I would highly recommend the Esalen experience if you can get out to Big Sur, California. If you would like I can have someone send you a catalog if you want to email your address. I'm Laurie Lioness Parizek. It's glp@thegrid.net. We also have a terrific video to give you a sense of the place and practice.

Hello, my name is Kelly. I have been in the massage field for only a few years, and have always been interested in Esalen. I do not practice it yet but I am eager to learn and read what other fellow Esalen lovers have to talk about. I am so happy to see so many people know and practice Esalen. In school none of my peers even knew what Esalen is... I look forward to meeting everyone!

Robin is Exceptional, very talented, highly knowledgable, warm hearted and a strong and effective communicator. I have been to ESALEN twenty times since 1993 most recently a week with Robin and Corey Feb.2009. Esalen Massage inspired by Didgeridoo and Poetry. She created a safe learning environment discussing and demonstrating effective feedback, compassion, and levels of intention, We worked with some elements of Esalen massage, Slow , Flow,Connection, Pause, Pace, Intuition, Integration,Breath, Movement, Attention to details, 3Dimensional strokes, Listening with the hands...Can't wait to go back! Thank you Robin , Sylvia and Corey. Looking forward to another class!

I would like to know more about Robin's Esalen classes and the website.

Wow, Robin, I couldn't agree with you more about the influence of Esalen's contemplative, holistic form on *quality of touch* I rarely hear MTs say that and I often get a more reductionistic/mechanical approach. I am really looking forward to the workshops in June!

Thanks for sharing! Robin and Corey are fantastic leaders and add so much to massage. I will get to a class someday. Hope you get to meet Brita Ostrom at Festival!

Mike, I've had Robin's series of one day workshops in Esalen techniques. There are four - Intro to Esalen, Head Neck & Shoulders, Hips and Low Back, and Twists & Stretches.. Each one builds on the other. Each one is a one day class with 8 CEU's. If you register early, each class is only $95. It has got to be the best $95 I've ever spent in my life. Hopefully, next fall she will teach the 100 hour professional certification. I am taking it, if I have to borrow the money and move up there! I have clients who get off the table and hug me - say every session gets better and better. There aren't a huge number of physical techniques that I didn't already know, but the emphasis on QUALITY of touch - I think if the National Cert Board really wanted to do something to further the quality of massage and bodywork, that Esalen training should be mandatory before you could sit for their exam. MBLEX also!!! Robin is a tremendous teacher - you feel safe and accepted, and able to explore all she gives you...
I am truly grateful that destiny has brought Robin and Corey to this side of the country, and so close in NC... blah, blah blah, I could go on and on, but I'll shut up - you get the picture!!! = )
