The Team

This course is fully designed and facilitated by an All-Women Team. We feel that our Full Spectrum Perspective is needed and wanted.

We feel it’s necessary to speak out and show the way we have touched, learned, and loved.

We feel the Feminine part of Us wants to co-create a Nurturing and Mothering approach to one of the most simple and effective Healing Techniques, TOUCH.

The Venue

The Magic of Andalucia

Andalucia is Spain’s southernmost region, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea in the east to the Portuguese border in the west. The main attraction of the landscape of Andalusia centers on its impressive contrasts: mountains and beaches, deserts and salt flats, plains, and countryside where Mediterranean crops alternate with pastureland.
