LEVEL 2
The five primal human emotions
Our Level 2 training is the next logical step for all our participants. We deepen our ability to feel the tissue and its subtle reactions, and explore even more profound physical, emotional and energetic layers.
In addition to learning new massage sequences and release techniques, you will also discover how to enhance your sessions through trance induction, intonation, and sound.
This training provides you with a deeper understanding of how various postural, movement, and breathing patterns affect your clients, as well as effective ways to incorporate this knowledge into your therapeutic practice.
We focus on the 5 primal human emotions and the power and potential that they carry, examine how and where these emotions could be stored in the body, and look for ways to address and express them.
All of this will happen in a practical, hands-on approach and we will inquire and feel deeper into specific pathways of the fascia.
"Such a powerful and healing experience. You learn really effective techniques
for releasing deep tensions, both giving and receiving. But it’s not just learning massage, it’s also a deep personal growth retreat and space for moving energy
that may have been stuck for years."

Introduction to the five primal human emotions
There are basically five emotions that can come up as direct reactions from the nervous system when it faces a specific situation in the present moment: Fear, Sadness, Joy, Shame and Anger.
Four of these five primal emotions that the nervous system knows are commonly regarded as rather negative and their full expression is considered inappropriate in large parts of society.
Considering this, there is a great chance that they have been suppressed and could not be expressed in many situations since our early childhood, by our surroundings and ourselves.
Address, release and express emotions from the past
If the original emotion could not be expressed and processed properly in the present moment, it remains in the system and gets stuck.
These stuck emotions accumulate and manifest in the body, often in specific parts. Over time they lead to physical and emotional patterns that we are often not even aware of.
Releasing and setting these unprocessed emotions free, and learning to express all of them in the present moment, carries a huge potential, since all of them are very powerful resources if addressed and used in a proper way.
"I had no idea of just how much of an impact Daniel and this course would be
for me. He holds a strong container allowing for profound healing with touch
to take place. Not only did I experience physical and energetic releases from
deep within the body, I have also already been incorporating what I learned
into my own client sessions."

Emotions and elements
We connect the five primal emotions to the five elements earth, water, fire, air and space, and examine how we can incorporate the qualities of the elements into our bodywork and movement practices.
The morning yoga, breathwork, meditation and philosophy will be based on an ancient 5 chakra system from the south-indian siddha tradition, in which each chakra represents one of the 5 elements.
The earth element and the creative power of fear
The water element and the loving power of sadness
The fire element and the transformative power of anger
The air element and the exciting power of joy
The space element and the reflective power of shame
