What it's about
The Zenthai Shiatsu 5 Elements Training is a four-day immersion with Natan Leijssen into the five elements of Chinese medicine: earth, metal, water, wood and fire. Blending theory, movement, touch and embodiment, it explores how each element shows in the body, the emotions, energetic patterns and relationships.
Participants learn five bodywork flows, one per element, with more than 2.5 hours of techniques. Days combine qigong-based movement, element theory and its psychosomatic side, Zenthai practice, partner work and stillness, plus relevant anatomy and Chinese medicine. A manual, video, online community access and a certificate are included.
It suits bodyworkers, yoga teachers, movement practitioners and others, on its own or after Level One, and is a prerequisite for the Zenthai therapist training. It runs from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 November 2027 at La Ferme du Bois-le-Comte (Oost West Centrum) in Orval, Belgium, from 18:30 to 16:30 on the last day. The fee is €600 (€540 early bird), plus three nights with meals at €320 shared or €455 single; a €400 non-refundable deposit applies.
