Events
You are spectacular!
Our events are open to anyone who would like to attend. The focus is to have fun, meet new people, and rediscover the joy of feeling alive. As massage therapists we spend so much time connecting with the bodies of others we often disconnect from our own. These events are an opportunity to reclaim your connection, celebrate every second, and be surrounded by people who live with love.
Exploring Massage Techniques
Organized by Shawn White, LMT
Have you ever wanted to learn new techniques without having to push through pricey pay walls? Do you feel like you have skills that could enrich the massage community? If so, this free class is for you! Join us to share, listen, and participate in this learning opportunity. This class is one of the many facets of the Discovering Hope Initiative, a support group for massage therapists. It is our goal to uplift massage therapists throughout our community so they may have a long, healthy, and prosperous career.
Organized by Shawn White, LMT
What are classroom trades? This is an environment where one massage therapist performs a full 60-minute massage on another massage therapist in a classroom environment. It helps massage therapists receive proper massage maintenance, encourages trades to occur more frequently, and provides other licensed therapists the opportunity to observe how other practitioners perform massage. The goal of this project is to help LMTs receive the maintenance they need while fostering a loving culture that exemplifies the virtues of empathy, creativity, and humility.
