HeartTouch
Mindfulness & Compassionate Touch Training for Anxiety, Emotional Pain & Trauma.
An experiential training for Psychotherapists / Clinicians, Shiatsu / Bodywork therapists, Couples, Family Members & Experiencers of Emotional / Mental Distress.
As well as facilitating personal transformation and self learning, this workshop explores the embodied foundations of co-regulation and trauma-informed care essential for assisting people experiencing any level of emotional distress, up to and including complex trauma.
Strassen, Luxembourg Sunday April 2nd 2023 9.30-13.30

Embodied Mindfulness is a way of being in which you are fully connected with your body and you feel safe.
Your mind is quiet and present to your experience of life happening that moment and your heart feels warm and open to yourself and to those around you.
This is a state of well-being and good feeling.
We will explore together how mindfulness & touch based connection practices can help us to move closer towards this state of well-being whether as an experiencer of challenging states or as someone who cares for people in these situations.
We are not looking for 'cures' or 'fixes'. Whatever our 'role' we are learning to be with ourselves and to be ourselves. Just as important we are learning to be fully present with others.
As we transform the way we relate to ourselves, our experiences and the world, symptoms which distress us may also change.
Along the way everyone involved will enhance their capacity to hold safe space for others.
And this will touch everything we do in life from then on...
About Anthony:

I had my own journey first with anxiety, panic attacks and mild depression while in my final year at Cambridge University in 1991.
This continued during my work as a financial auditor, where I experienced chronic stress and then as a software programmer where I went into a meltdown of physical and mental fatigue. A serious breakdown / burnout.
Despite massive efforts to heal myself, this journey continued in 2001, with me entering non-ordinary states, we can say spiritual psychosis perhaps.
After an 8 month period in the psychiatric system, I came off anti-psychotic medications and took personal responsibility for my own well-being. This journey continued for the next 8 years with me going in an out of challenging non-ordinary states until I stabilised in 2010.
Over time I've become a qualified Mindfulness teacher, Tai Chi & Qi Gong teacher and have been teaching since 2015. I am also an experienced student of the late Akinobu Kishi , the founder of Sei Ki and teach his amazing touch therapy in my own way. I've spent twenty-five years exploring these fields with total dedication.
I found my own ways to recover and live a full life and now share what I learnt with others experiencing extreme states, trauma, broken nervous systems or simply chronic stress situations and misery along with those who care for people in these situations.
This is what I do...

Registration Process:
The event is by invitation. The application process is as follows:
- We request that people apply by contacting us
- Then once we confirm there are places available, complete the application form
- We will then come back to you and may suggest a short online 1-1 session or you can request one.
- We will then confirm your place on the workshop once you've paid.
Nb. The intention with the application form is to provide an opportunity for you to communicate personal needs so we can hold the space well for you. It also allows you and us to reflect whether you are in a good enough 'space' to benefit from the practices being offered with the support we will have available on the day.
Non-experiencers, please be patient. It feels appropriate to ask all attendees to complete the forms if any do, but answers may be succint as appropriate. It is an opportunity to reflect on why you wish to attend the training and communicate this with me along with any personal needs.
Pre-workshop 1-1 sessions, while adding cost to the workshop are invaluable in my experience in terms of allowing us to establish a personal resonance before you enter the group environment.
Thank you, Anthony.

HeartTouch Training
Anthony was really engaging and down to earth with this workshop.
There was plenty of practices to try out and opportunity to reflect.
I learned a great deal which will inform both my own personal growth as well as my practice as a shiatsu practitioner.
I intend bringing some of the practices into my own personal and professional practice.
Thanks to Anthony for his compassionate presence, honesty and heart opening quality to his creative heart-touch approach, may it continue to grow in our communities where it is so needed . Corrinna Bain, shiatsu practitioner.

HeartTouch Training
The work helped me immensely.
I have not felt so calm and grounded for a very long time.
I feel the work gave me some valuable tools to calm and ground myself.
Really grateful for the safe and welcoming space that Anthony created and held throughout the day.

HeartTouch Training
I would highly recommend Anthony's training to anyone needing to down-regulate their nervous system and wishing to be better able to connect with others.
Anthony's practices are unique, grounded in decades of training with Eastern masters.
Through these he has discovered what helps him in his moment to moment experience of life.
He embodies his experience with complete authenticity and this is what makes the training so powerful.
I felt really calm and revitalised by the day's workshop and look forward to attending another.

HeartTouch Training
I found the day really valuable.
It was structured and paced in such a way that one activity naturally moved to the next with increased intensity that always felt safe and healing.
Thank you Anthony.

HeartTouch Training
Simple yet such incredibly powerful work.
Exploring these practices in our society which is grossly touched deprived as a means for supporting each other is necessary now more than ever.
Thank you Anthony
Andrew, UK - 2023 -
HeartTouch Training
The Heart touch training was an opportunity to develop an understanding of and participate in compassionate based bodywork.
It gave me an understanding of how therapeutic touch can soothe the nervous system and open the human heart.
Joan, UK - 2023 -
HeartTouch Training
I would recommend Anthony's workshops and approach.
His focus, exploring our self perception and how to develop and work with this in relation to supporting both ourselves and others, I feel to be very effective.

The HeartTouch workshop was held in a beautiful Zen healing space, and we warmed up into the bodywork practices very gently.
Thank you.

Online Embodied Mindfulness & Qi Gong
Anthony's Tai chi, qigong and hara conditioning workshops provide a safe and welcoming space where, at their own pace, participants are able to explore and to work with the embodied felt sensations and constrictions that arise in the midst of difficult experiences of mental and emotional distress.
As I was working with my own experiences of childhood trauma - and the ensuing spiritual crisis and liminal states - Anthony's workshops became a sanctuary in which I was able to soften and to show myself kindness, to ground difficult energies, and to bring my nervous system back into a state of tranquility and calm.

Zen Mindfulness Course
Thank you very much, it took me a long way in dealing with my 'anxiety'.
You and your sessions played a big role in this by bringing me closer to the concept of mindfulness and teaching me some exercices I can easily integrate in my daily life. Thank you very much for this.
I never told you how grateful I am that I had the chance to meet you, but I've been thinking it for a while!

HeartTouch for Anxiety & Burnout
Your workshop was very useful because it gave me a lot of tools to help me relax in a more profound way, acknowledge my feelings and come back to my body.
I also loved the compassionate touch practices.
I found them very rewarding, a great way to connect with other people and to honour our basic humanity.
