Comments from 28-day Esalen ® Massage participants, may-june 2009, Big Sur, CA, USA
"The 28 day Massage program was a jump-start to my future. I entered the program at a very crucial point in my life. I was only 19, not sure where my life was going or what the future would hold for me. The program affirmed that I want to be a healer in my life. The skills I learned during the course of the program have provided me with skills I will use for the rest of my life. The beauty of the program is that whatever I do in my life, even if it is not Massage necessarily, I will be prepared with the mental, emotional, and physical skills required to heal others:)" John V., USA
"This experience permitted me to take a distance from the training I did in Montréal, comparing it with the Californian massage pionneers one. I got confident practicing by the baths near the ocean, and receiving massages from professionals that have been working at Esalen for many years. What inspires me the most is the richness of our group; 22 people from everywhere in the world, some 20 year old, some 60 year old, as many men as women - there was even a blind person ! - linked by the heart chakra. I stayed in touch with many of them." Sylvie C., Québec, Canada
"The 28-day Esalen Massage workshop helped me understand the "soul" of massage therapy, and the very reason for this essential skill: everyone needs human touch and benefits from it. In the midst of daily hands-on experience, I encountered friendships with people across the globe and came away with tools not only for use in massage therapy practice, but Life itself." Aidy B., Chicago, IL, USA
