LEVEL 2
An Evolution of Sensitivity
Our Level 2 training is the natural next step for all who have completed the foundation. Here we deepen our capacity to feel the tissue’s subtle intelligence, the quiet pulses of emotion, and the energetic currents that weave through the body.
​
In addition to learning new massage sequences and release techniques, you’ll discover how to enhance your sessions through trance induction, and intonation - tools that allow the body to surrender beyond the thinking mind.
We also explore how posture, movement, and breath reflect the inner landscape of a person - and how these patterns can either restrict or support emotional flow.
​​
You’ll learn to recognize these expressions in your clients and to meet them skillfully, integrating physical, emotional, and energetic dimensions into one coherent language of touch.
​
This is where bodywork becomes art - when presence, sound, and movement begin to communicate more than technique ever could.
"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."
Jeremy, USA
The Language of the Elements and Emotions
This training unfolds as an inner journey through the five elements and the five primal emotions:
Earth - Fear, Water - Sadness, Fire - Anger, Air - Joy, and Space - Shame.
​
Each element is an invitation to explore how emotion moves through your own body - not as a concept to apply, but as a direct experience.
When you allow yourself to feel these qualities - the contraction of fear, the softening of sadness, the ignition of anger, the expansion of joy, the subtle withdrawal of shame - you begin to recognize them in the bodies of others with natural empathy and precision.
​
Touching Emotion Through Presence
In the practical bodywork sessions, we do not try to “work on fear” or “release sadness.” Instead, we attune to what is alive in the field, and allow these elemental languages to inform the quality of our touch.
Rather than aiming for catharsis, we explore presence as the medicine. Rather than trying to make something happen, we learn to listen so closely that the body begins to reorganize itself.
Every emotion has its own rhythm, its own language, and our task as practitioners is simply to accompany that movement. To hold space without demand, and to allow the body’s intelligence to unfold in its own time.
"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."

Embodiment in Practice
Throughout the retreat, the five elements and their emotional resonances will color our movement, meditation, and partner work. They serve as mirrors, not methods - ways of refining perception and deepening your somatic vocabulary.
​
We explore how the qualities of the elements express through touch, sound, and rhythm:
the grounded steadiness of earth, the fluid yielding of water, the clear direction of fire, the expansive breath of air, and the spacious stillness of space.
​
By journey’s end, you will have learned not only new, advanced techniques, but a subtler form of listening - how to meet another person’s body from the inside out, with presence that includes the whole spectrum of feeling.
