ZENTHAI SHIATSU ADVANCED

Modules 3 and 4 with Gwyn Williams

Start your journey to become Zenthai Therapist

Pathway to Zenthai Shiatsu Therapist

Join us for an intensive 9-day training (including a mid-way rest day) designed to elevate your manual therapy skills and deepen your energetic awareness.

This 8-day immersion combines two core pillars of the European Zenthai Shiatsu Pathway to Therapist:

Module 3: The Dance

Move out of our head into our hands. Explore therapeutic gestures to bring bodywork alive with intelligent transitios and effortless effort.

Module 4: The Science

Dive into the structural body to understand the power behind manual therapy. The energetic world is integrated into the human body to deepen our therapeutic offer.

Embodied therapeutic and Energetic Touch

Daily movement practices will help you embody our body's biomechanics alongside the qualities of the 5 elements.

The bodywork sessions will sharpen both your structural awareness and your "elemental eyes," teaching you to recognize biomechanical and energetic patterns within the body. You will master Zenthai Shiatsu sequences and precise manual techniques specifically crafted to harmonize structural dysfunctions and balance each element.

**Completion of Level 1 or Elements modules is a prerequisite to take part in this advanced training.

Thai Massage, Shiatsu and Osteopatich techniques, exploring their principles, applications, and how they integrate within a holistic approach to bodywork.

Principles of Anatomy and Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM relevant to the techniques included in the training.

Study of muscular and structural systems, how to locate and treat them in relation to common postural imbalances or conditions that cause pain, stiffness and reduced mobility.

Daily morning movement practice (yoga, partner yoga, animal movement, contact impro) to develop body awareness, strength, and fluidity.

Hands-on practice in giving and receiving the techniques learned, with attention to the quality of touch and mindful presence.

Learning materials: manual, video and certificate.

Inclusions

Where

We will be hosted in a stunning country Villa, CASA SANGAM, nestled in the rolling hills of the Umbrian countryside near Gubbio, along the ancient St. Francis Way, just a few kilometers from Assisi and Perugia. The property offers total immersion in nature: you can rejuvenate with a swim in the private lake, lose yourself along miles of trails and white gravel roads, or spend time with the horses at the stables.

The Founder

Gwyn Williams

Gwyn began his first steps into the foundation of the Zenthai artform in his teenage years with a fascination and complete absorption with life force energy (Ki). A self confessed life force fanatic,  his earlier years involved in using the  life force to fight and compete. As a serious martial artist and later a competitive mountain runner, the focus was on expending Ki, however when he later moved into alternative therapies and yoga in 1997, he realised that the real focus needed to be on sustaining and containing life force to utilise its full power. This has carried through to the present day sharing the importance of embracing a Yin and Yang aspect in daily life.

Teacher, lifelong student

Gwyn has been teaching his entire adult life. Earlier as a physical education teacher, martial arts instructor and later as a yoga teacher and Zenthai facilitator. His passion for alternative therapies and connecting his heart with his hands led to him teaching Zen Shiatsu at his created Mt. Ninderry Healing Centre in 1999. Since this initial class he has become a national and international teacher of his own form of bodywork/movement and awareness.

The art of Zenthai Shiatsu has grown into a network of ten schools worldwide, offering a comprehensive floor-based bodywork system. Today, hundreds of teachers across the globe share introductory courses, short workshops, and therapeutic movement classes, continuing to spread the essence of Zenthai.
