The Full Moon in Bahasa Indonesia is called Purnama. Purnama in Bali is a special day for ceremonies and festivities. The Balinese believe that Purnama is a propitious day when Gods descend to the earth to bestow their blessings. And, Purnama is best time for religious rituals, with their intentions multiplied by one hundred. Every Purnama, people will wear traditional Balinese clothes and hold morning communal praying in their family Temple, and visit the village tempe of one of the hundreds of both small and large temples spread around the island of Bali. 

UPCOMING EVENTS
Touching Essence & TactusLab
With Ellen Watson & Elena Gilli
Dates : 28 - 30 May, 2021
Location : Centro d'Ompio, Lago d'Orta
Touching Essence™ & TactusLab
Touching Essence™ is a multi-sensory, multicultural, Neo-shamanic healing art practice that combines the sense of touch, smell, sound and energetic vision. 
Developed over the last 30 years at Esalen and in Bali, Touching Essence engages both giver and receiver to deepen awareness and presence. Inspired and informed by Ellen’s practice and teaching of Esalen® Massage & Bodywork, Touching Essence uses visualization and affirmation in support of desired outcomes.
The philosophy of Touching Essence is combined with an exploration of the energetic centers of the chakras (wheels of energy).  These highly charged centers act as a conduit through which body, mind, and spirit interact as one holistic system.  Imbalances in the chakras correlate with physical tension and discomfort.  The intention of this course is to weave together a variety of techniques in order to address holding patterns in the body that result from these imbalances.

The focus is to access these powerful energy centers through a combination of touch, scent, and sound. Working with sound/vibrations, essential oils, and massage techniques; we will impact both subtle and deep layers of the body helping the individual to achieve a sense of integrated well-being.

The course offers 100 hours of comprehensive Esalen Massage experience, including relevant anatomical & physiological explorations that link theory to practice. Students will have ample time for massaging one another, emphasizing body mechanics, self-care, and innovation. The curriculum includes centering skills, Esalen long-stroke methods effective in whole-body integration, draping, detailed structural work, passive joint movement and gentle stretches, and techniques that energetically balance a massage.

Esalen® Massage & Bodywork 175-Hour
​Training For Professionals

​​​Teachers: Ellen Watson, Rob Wilks & Ingrid May
Table Assistance: Phonik Angel, Sujati, Whitney Bell
​Japanese Table Assistance: Rie Kuwahara
​Japanese Translation: Masako Ota
Date:  February 20 - March 18, 2022
Location: Mimpi Resort, Menjangan, Bali, Indonesia
People from all over the world come to Big Sur to learn this healing art, and now, among the flowering jungles and lotus laden ponds of Bali, we offer a 26-day Basic Certification in Esalen® Massage. This training will provide you with in-depth experience and practice in basic Esalen® Massage techniques, enabling you to give a professional full-body massage upon completion of the course.  Click the links to read more about Ellen Watson and Esalen® massage here.

Your study of massage will be complemented by daily meditation, chanting, yoga, chi gong, ecstatic dance, and other moving meditation practices. You will experience in your own body the qualities of aliveness and flowing presence central to this method. The process of self-exploration is a key element, grounding this practice in the experience of your own body, thereby transforming mere technique into a true healing art. The atmosphere and culture of Bali fit well with our intention to teach this method as a path toward healing. The Balinese word for foreigner translates as 'guest', this simple expression conveying the warmth, openness, and beauty which the Balinese embody in every aspect of their lives. As guests of the Balinese during this time, we will have our weekends free to explore the high mountains and hidden beaches of this magical island, absorbing both its tropical beauty and the grace of its people.

Learning the art of Esalen® Massage is an experience that often changes lives. Whether you intend to create a new career path, deepen your knowledge of bodywork, or spend time healing yourself through touch, our time together is sure to stay with you for years to come.  Having taught certification courses in Bali for a number of years, we notice the lasting power of these memories - for some, as a healing recollection of new friendships made in the extraordinary Balinese landscape; for others, a time of self-exploration and transformation.
