"Bringing inner and outer ecology into practice - refining perception, deepening presence and awakening embodied connection"

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 invites us to move beyond fixing and diagnosing, into the art of connection.
In this training you’ll explore the philosophy and practice of Sei-Ki through touch, Ki-sensitivity, and guided exchanges. With demonstrations, reflection, and playful exploration, you’ll cultivate authentic, heart-centred contact that supports both you and those you work with.
COURSE CONTENT:
During the training you will be guided to:
-
Learn about Sei-Ki touch, its therapeutic effects, and its foundational philosophy.
-
Enjoy ample opportunities to practice Sei-ki with guided instruction.
-
Engage in structured activities to expand KI-sensitivity and for resourcing you, the practitioner and how you work.
-
Shift away from “diagnosing” or attempting to “fix” by relying on theories and maps.
-
Enhance the quality of hands-on contact by learning to cultivate resonant, heart-centred connection (Kokoro) with the receiver.
-
Expand your ability to “understand” your clients, noticing how it is for them and supporting them to find their authentic expression.
-
Share the art of Sei-ki and in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.
-
There will be facilitator’s demonstrations of Sei-Ki touch on participants, Sei-ki hands-on exchanges in pairs, feedback and group discussion opportunities, outdoors sensory tuning practices (weather permitting) as well as playful and poetic interludes.
-
Please note: 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
