Details

Are you looking to improve your own vitality & learn a form of healing massage steeped in multiple wisdom traditions?

Learn hands on healing techniques from John Burke – the creator of ALCHEMIC YOGA.

Specifically through the ‘release’ of misplaced organs & tangled “cables” (ligaments, muscle fibres, tendons, blood & lymph vessels & nerves).

In this workshop:

~Gain insight & practice in Alchemic Yoga; which combines Gypsy Tantric, the Celtic Alchemic Elemental States, and the Aboriginal levels of Bulima traditions.

~Discover the 3 essences Alcohols, Oils, & Salts – How to access them, use, & move them around in the body to unlock optimum health

~Clear explanation of what Chi and Prana are – with practical exercises leading to direct awareness.

WHAT IS RELEASE TECHNIQUE?

Over the years John Burke discovered that many of our ailments are from organs and cables being misplaced and tangled.

“I believe that any human animal can learn this release technique, because it is there deep within our Ancestral Memory, held in our DNA. We just have to coax it out into conscious awareness.” ~ John Burke

Using these intuitive techniques so true health and vitality can be returned to the body.
