WHAT IS SEI-KI?
Seiki is based on the understanding that our body / being has an intrinsic natural ability to correct its own imbalances. In Sei-Ki, we do not impose change. We create the conditions in which change can happen, through being present, listening and through resonance between giver and receiver.

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
As Spring unfolds, this training offers a space to explore Sei-Ki as a living practice of touch - grounded in presence, listening and the body's innate intelligence. The weekend invites a cultivation of connection and an embodied awareness of the living world within and around us.

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.

​

WHO IS THIS FOR?

• Shiatsu & Sei-Ki Practitioners

• Other bodyworkers and manual therapists

• Those with an interest in this approach, for personal and community wellbeing through touch.

​

THE APPROACH

Sei-Ki was originated and developed by Akinobu Kishi. 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.

YOUR FACILITATOR

Daniela trained with Sei-Ki founder Akinobu Kishi and has more than two decades of experience in practice and teaching. Since 2012, she has offered Sei-Ki CPD for Shiatsu, Sei-Ki and manual therapy communities. She brings in skills from Mindfulness, Amerta Movement and Ecotherapy, which inform and enrich her approach to Sei-Ki.

TESTIMONIALS

 

“The course was held with compassion and clarity, offering a living bridge between theory and practice. Through Kokoro—the heart-mind connection—I experienced a deeper resonance with fellow participants and the wider environment. This continues to enrich the quality of touch and presence in my Shiatsu practice. I totally recommend it" ~ Elizabeth (Shiatsu Practitioner)

“I enjoyed the pace, the playfulness, and the peacefulness of it. i take home the openings and the listening aspects. Great workshop for manual therapists or for people with an interest in holistic healthcare. I would wholeheartedly recommend it" 

~ Tim (Tuina & Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Teacher)

​

"Really enjoyed the weekend workshop - such a wonderful, sentient presence from Daniela, who carries forward Kishi’s work. I look forward to integrating what I’ve learned into my practice. As practitioners, we must always remain students. It was a great space to connect with Sei-ki, experience touch, and deepen presence" ~ Rachel (Shiatsu & Craniosacral Practitioner & Teacher)
