I envision a future where love blooms and humanity undergoes a profound shift in consciousness. Toward this I share insights on how our forgotten language of affectionate touch powers our personal growth, opens our heart and helps humanity achieve critical mass of love.
Even as a child I knew the power of love. And of touch, and how they both go together. And promised myself that when I grow up I won’t become like the adults.
So when I found the opportunity, I switched careers from engineering to massage just to get involved in touch studies. And switched continents too, leaving Greece about to descend into recession, for California just recovering from one.
I landed my family in the picturesque Ojai valley, known for its spirituality and spas, and enrolled our son at a progressive pre-school founded by my favorite philosopher from my teenage years, J. Krishnamurti, who had lived there amongst the fragrant orange groves.
Next, thirsty for learning I booked my first course at the renowned Esalen Institute in Big Sur and spent a mind-blowing month soaking in hot springs, California culture and Gestalt, while practicing kind, loving, healing touch in the form of therapeutic massage. Best of all was practice at the baths, amongst sounds of didgeridoo, humming bathers and crashing waves. The warm, humid, softly lit chambers were mystical and felt like a thousand years old, in ceremony.
I practice and teach touch as a heart-opening journey of personal growth that gives us the opportunity to embody kindness, presence and love, with respectful boundaries, physical dexterity and skillful movement.
I offer workshops in Greece and California, and facilitate Council circles, with offerings in RegenWeek ‘24, Mexico and Ojai.
Achieving critical-mass of love is a bold vision for a global shift in human consciousness.
