Freeing the Body in Water – An Aquatic Bodywork Workshop with Michael Hallock
Floating friends and loved ones in the water may be one of the greatest joys you can experience.
In this hands-on workshop we begin with relaxation on land and then ease into the pool to try our hands at floating each other safely and delightfully in the water.
Michael’s first Watsu was over 17 years ago. For him, it was love-at-first-float and one of the experiences that propelled him into a life of healing. Since then he has trained internationally in aquatic bodywork, energy healing and numerous healing modalities, including 3 years in India dedicating himself to meditation and yogic studies. For the last 10 years he has worked with acclaimed destination health retreats including Chivasom Thailand, Golden Door Australia, and Fivelements Bali.

The Flowering Soul is tended by Jewelli Dollman, based in the shire of Byron Bay, in northern NSW, Australia. Jewelli has been working passionately with essences for over ten years, blending flower essences with bodywork and consultations as well as many years of teaching courses and workshops.
It is with great passion, reverence and happiness, that Jewelli shares the healing gifts of the Australian Bush Flower Essences with you.

Jewelli will speak on the history & philosophy of Flower Essences, how Flower Essences work, and share various bush flower remedies that help us honour our bodies as the temples they are, enabling us to better celebrate spirit through dance, song, music, yoga, tantra and other conscious arts.
Flower Essences are pure, earth-based medicines that support the body, mind and spirit, and are obtained by infusing the healing vibrational quality from the most evolved part of the plant – the flowers.
Your body truly is your temple, Spirit is the animating force within the body, and vibrational medicine invokes and supports greater flow of spirit. Various essences have qualities that can enhance your body-temple and positively support the physical expression of your spiritual path.
