India was a place that was calling for a visit for many years. My friends had experienced mixed encounters in their various visits  to this mystical land that is steeped in spiritual devotion and unpredictability.

The Art of Touch
Zenthai Level 1
June 27th - 30th
Myocum, Northern Rivers
book - merrynzenthai@gmail.com

Cultivating a deeper awareness of own thoughts, beliefs and feelings can really amplify our capacity to connect with others. Our perspectives influence the way we see life and therefore how life shows up for us. I find that when we have a reverence for the sun and the wind, for the person across the room smiling and for those small gestures of support, gratitude for life grows in our hearts.

What an incredible gift to share this experience with others, through heart listening and intentional touch. Through the lens of 5 elements, we can sense how nature encourages us to soften, open, quieten, rise up and stand tall. Nature can also remind us that we are whole already, and that nothing is wrong, we are simply moving through the seasons of life, within our bodies and minds.

Zenthai Shiatsu offers you a wholistic healing experience, supporting your body, mind and heart. Zenthai accesses the structural and energetic bodies, to invigorate your energy, nourish your soul and awaken your sense. Deeply therapeutic and diversely working with your unique needs.
Nature based and community minded. Our culture is in honouring the lands, country and all peoples, souls, harmonious energies and elements of nature. We are here to contribute to the greater web of life and encourage others to be inspired to care for country and folk.

Join us - for an exploration into the heart based practice that is Zenthai. Offer yourself a 4 day nature retreat, lots of learning, listening and receiving. Our Level 1 immersion offers you healing, connecting and sharing the field of harmony and presence.

Training led by Merryn Penington - Structural.Energetics

The fascial network system is the bodies intelligence for integration and harmonisation of life's experiences. The fascia body absorbs our experiences and responds to our life style habits, nervous system responses, relationships and our perspectives on our environment.

Yes, the fascia listens to, responds from, digests, holds, hinders and heals the interconnected reality on the macro and mirco within. The sensory intelligence is always listening and adapting to what feels safe, where we open and expand, and when protective or bracing is required from a perceived threat. This can be on an obvious physical level or subtle energetic layer.

Learn about these paradigms from a Structural Energetic lens.

Assess the bodies posture, movement and positioning.

Listen to tension patterns, recoil mechanisms and the unwinding nature of fascia.

Engage with new approaches to releasing fascia locally and globally.

Dive into the correlations of 5 element meridians and the myofascial meridian lines.

Explore direct and indirect ways to speak with fascia in zenthai bodywork and movement.

Hear the relationships of movement and emotion, tension and psychology, safety and liberation.

Structural Yoga Therapy
with Kimmana Nichols & Merryn Penington
Feb 29th – March 3rd
Mt. Ninderry Healing Centre, Sunshine Coast

Addressing posture and pain through functional movement, yoga asana and body-mind unification. You posture, form and movement are directly connected to the thoughts, psychology and awareness. As we move through life, patterns settle into the tissues and instruct how the structure moves through space. Bringing wisdom, knowledge and awareness to our physical body can powerfully influence the bodies stability, mobility and ease of movement. During this training we reveal the patterns of alignment and energetic engagement, offering ease and function to yoga asana and functional movement. We will address posture and pain from an Ayurvedic lens of Nava Sutra wisdom.

This is for you:
• Yoga Teachers inspired to inform their practice with alignment cues that encourage form, function and energetic enlightenment.
• Movement practitioners ready to explore the bodies wisdom through the lens of Nava Sutras and functional movement patterns.
• Zenthai & Bodywork Therapists supporting clients with chronic pain, posture dysfunctions and structural rehabilitation.
• Anyone with conditions of pain, posture and movement who are ready to self-heal with wisdom, awareness and effective daily practices.

Kimmana and Merryn have extensive knowledge from a vast knowledge base and are exquisite teachers of refinement and embodiment. The training will be inquisitive, digestible and offers both practical application and theory. The learning portal will be explorative and entice your curiosity, walking away with wholeness in the body-mind.

We are passionate to share the practice with you!
