"When you touch something with deep awareness, you touch everything"-Tich Nhat Hanh
Zenthai Shiatsu level oneÂ
In Berlin, Germany
Oct 31st - Nov 3rd, 2025
This 4-day foundation training is a deep dive into Zenthai - a conversation beyond words and a distinctive crossroads between the healing arts of Thai yoga massage, Zen Shiatsu and Osteopathic techniques; an integration of movement, touch and mindfulness. It explores the poetry within therapeutic touch, a lens into traditional Chinese medicine and is a great opportunity for self-healing in a retreat style teaching model.
In learning a full 90-minute sequence, you’ll be introduced to practical tools and gain valuable knowledge on structural and energetic therapy. Every day is full with practice of both receiving and giving technique, cultivating inner awareness and deepening your sense of touch. All this in the inspiring container of a conscious community.

"Natan’s workshop was an unforgettable experience. To unite a group of strangers in a world of deep connection, exploration and discovery takes a talented facilitator. Natan is that. His gentle manner combined with his knowledge of movement and the human body makes him one of the best I’ve encountered. The activities were challenging enough to generate the gratification of learning, while accessible enough to allow us all to achieve. The technique itself is beautiful. Such a graceful blend of modalities, through which release, trust and safety transform the whole nervous system and psyche. Natan brings the gift of the embodied self - something that’s so needed in today’s fast paced world."
