Connecting Through Touch with Peggy Horan
An experienced massage instructor guides couples, partners, and friends through exercises, demonstrations, and hands-on coaching — a chance to learn a new way to connect, relax, and find balance.
A Workshop in Touch and Presence
Participants explore heart-centered communication, deep listening, and massage techniques in a small, attentive setting. Surrounded by wildlife and the rugged California coastline, it is a rare opportunity to sink into a deeper connection with one another — and with yourselves — as you explore the healing power of touch.
Open to any pair: couples, family, or friends. All levels of experience welcome.
