THE SEI-KI APPROACH to working with people through touch is simple and transformative. It trains the practitioner and the client to deepen their sensitivity and ability to make contact in non-habitual ways. It demonstrates how to put aside body-work theories and routine techniques and to develop an embodied presence, observational awareness of where touch is needed and an approach to engage with the receiver by feeling and resonant communication.
DEEPLY ROOTED in the Shiatsu and the Japanese Shinto healing practices and philosophical traditions, Sei-ki is a practical and rewarding touch-based method with a clear therapeutic effect. In essence it guides the ability to release one’s physical and emotional distortions, to live with, and connect, to others with open heart, in resonance.
SEI-KI: Living Touch in Practice
Awakening Presence, Connection and Ecological Balance
with Daniela Coronelli FWSS (T)
As Spring unfolds, this 2½-day training offers an opportunity to explore Sei-ki as a living craft of touch. Designed for practitioners of touch-based disciplines
(CPD accredited) and for those interested in personal and collective wellbeing, the weekend invites a deepening of presence, perception, embodied connection and
ecological awareness.
The orientation for this weekend includes:
• Exploring Sei-ki’s therapeutic effects and philosophical foundations, grounded in the body’s innate capacity to restore balance and self-regulate.
• Practicing Sei-ki through guided hands-on exchanges suitable for all levels, supporting both learning and refinement of skills.
• Expanding KI-sensitivity and perceptual awareness to enhance listening, responsiveness and touch-based skills.
• Developing the capacity to move beyond diagnosing or “fixing” to meet what is presenting with clarity and learning to follow the receiver’s life movement through heart-centred presence (Kokoro) and resonant connection.
• Exploring how inner balance, relational quality and ecological awareness inform both practice and everyday life.
• Participating in facilitator demonstrations, paired exchanges, feedback, group discussion, and outdoor sensory practices (weather permitting), within a Spring
context of renewal and growth.
Friday afternoon is not an optional part of the course as
it sets the tone for the whole workshop. It also offers an opportunity for participants to arrive on Friday morning, to take time to settle before the course starts, while perhaps walking around the picturesque town of Totnes, crossed by the river Dart and close to Dartmoor and the coast.

A level of physical flexibility is necessary to participate in the above course as the Sei-Ki exchanges in pairs take place at floor level on padded mats. At other times, during group sharing or when performing exercises, chairs are available for everyone.
SEI-KI was originally founded by Akinobu Kishi, with whom Daniela worked extensively in the UK, Europe and Japan.

Sei-Ki is looking into human nature and seeing things as they are. If you are attached
to things or goals, beyond attachment you will be serene
