Marissa of Embodied Wisdom | Iris Aura Spa & Sanctuary

Touch is a language of its own. It can be nurturing, sensual, playful, erotic, or deeply grounding. Through presence and intention, even the simplest touch can become an invitation to deeper connection.

Join Marissa of Embodied Wisdom for a hands-on exploration of sensual massage, somatic awareness, and the art of giving and receiving intentional touch. Blending foundational massage techniques with breathwork and energetic awareness, we'll explore how pressure, pacing, rhythm, and intention can deepen relaxation, awaken sensation, and cultivate connection.

Through guided exercises, we'll practice listening through our hands, communicating desires and boundaries, and responding to the body's cues. Whether exploring nurturing, platonic, or sensual touch, this workshop invites curiosity, presence, and authentic connection.

The room will be arranged into hands-on stations, allowing participants to practice techniques with Marissa offering guidance, demonstrations, and support throughout.
