What You’ll Learn
Gongfu Cha Practice: Learn to prepare water and sip tea mindfully in this ancient Chinese practice.
Scalp Acupressure: Discover key acupoints on the scalp that help relieve stress, enhance mental clarity, and support hair health. By applying gentle yet intentional pressure, you can stimulate energy flow (Qi), ease tension, and improve overall vitality.
Shu Fa Combing Therapy: More than just brushing hair, Shu Fa is a mindful practice that nourishes both the scalp and nervous system. Using a specific comb massager or the fingers, this rhythmic technique helps improve microcirculation, encourage lymphatic drainage, and promote relaxation while supporting healthy hair growth.
This workshop is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their self-care practice, reconnect with their body’s natural rhythms, and explore the intersection of beauty and well-being.
What to Bring
An open heart and mind and willingness to relax into wellness.
