What it's about
Tacto Consciente: Toque Tierra y Fuego is a four-hour practical workshop in Thai massage and Osteothai with Oliver Chamorro. It explores two fundamental qualities of conscious touch, Earth and Fire, and asks when to hold, when to mobilise and how to let the body guide the work.
Earth touch is about arriving, holding and listening: slow, deep and stable contact using one's own body weight, with attention to weight transfer, the direction of pressure, the relationship with the centre (Tan Tien) and how to enter and leave contact. Fire touch is elastic, rhythmic and oscillating, working with impulses, rocking, compression and decompression and rebounds to mobilise muscles, tendons and ligaments. Participants work with feet, forearms and hands and practise recognising which kind of contact each situation needs.
The workshop is open to all levels, from people new to Osteothai or massage to experienced bodyworkers. It takes place on 27 November 2026 from 16:00 to 20:00 at Centro Cenit, Carrer de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats 5, in Gràcia, Barcelona. It is taught in Spanish, with English translation available. The fee is €75 per person (€65 when booking with a partner) until 20 November, and €85 (€75 with a partner) from 21 November.
