Journey Through Senses
- A deeply nourishing reset for your mind, body, and soul
As winter begins to whisper at the edges of autumn, the final leaves fall, the air turns crispier, and the days grow shorter, the seasonal shift invites us to turn inward, slow down and recalibrate. It's a time of transition - between light and darkness, between outer activity and inner stillness. This is also a powerful moment to pause, soften, and offer ourselves the deep care we often postpone.
Massage Addicts invites you to join our professional massage therapists, Rita and Anya (also a sound healing therapist) for a soulful, sensory-based afternoon designed to bring you back to yourself.
This workshop provides a seasonal reset - a guided journey through all senses, woven with practices that nourish the nervous system, open the heart, and calm the mind.
Held in the serene atmosphere of beautiful, candlelit ITM Thai Hand Amsterdam, we will share an immersive experience, both restful and revitalising - perfect for those seeking grounding, soul nourishment, and deeper connection.
What to Expect
Opening Meditation
We begin with a short, grounding meditation to arrive fully in our body and breath, releasing the noise of the outside world and becoming present with ourselves.
Blue Lotus Tea Ceremony
We invite you to enjoy a cup of nourishing tea from Blue Lotus - a sacred plant traditionally used for its calming, heart-opening, and mildly euphoric effects. Sipped in stillness, this pleasant tea helps to shift our awareness inwards and deepen our connection to the moment.
Thai Massage Exchange
In pairs, you will then be guided through a simple, deeply relaxing Thai yoga massage sequence. On mats, working over the clothes, you will both receive and give a 40-minute massage under the guidance of Rita and Anya. As a final touch, and to help your nervous system unwind completely, you will exchange a soothing facial massage with high quality organic oil suitable for all skin types, crafted with love by our friend Maya. No prior experience is necessary - this practice is about presence, not perfection. It is a beautiful way to experience mindful touch, release tension, increase flexibility and share loving care with a fellow human being. Come with a partner or alone - everyone will get and give a massage.
Aromatherapy
Throughout the session, the room will be subtly infused with natural essential oils and incense chosen to support relaxation, clarity, and emotional balance. The scent enhances your sensory experience and helps to ground into your body.
Sound Bath
To complete the experience, Anya will take you on an immersive sound journey with crystal singing bowls and other instruments. The sound frequencies resonate with your body, re-attuning it to its natural rhythms and shifting the brain from active engagement beta waves to alpha and theta waves, which promote relaxation and emotional balance. These vibrations also stimulate serotonin and dopamine production, improving mood and well-being. The result is a release of tension, clearance of emotional blockages, and restoration of harmony - simply lie back, close your eyes, and allow the magic of sound to wash over you.
You will return to daily life feeling renewed, rested and inspired, with a little gift, to support your further massage exploration.
